About Us
MEDHYDROGEL is a medtech company based in Riga Latvia in 2018. We solve eye drop problem – less than 5% drops get to eye while tears and blinking wash out the drug. Our therapeutic contact lenses are the ones which clean eyes without using drugs. While others are focused on drug delivery, we are – on absorption with specific nanoparticles.
