Nordic Pharma Announces European Launch of Lacrifill® for Dry Eye Disease
Hoofddorp, Netherlands – 6th February 2026 – Nordic Group B.V., an international pharmaceutical company operating as Nordic Pharma, announced today the introduction of Lacrifill®, a novel therapy for dry eye, to the European market. Following CE mark approval in 2025, Lacrifill® is now available to healthcare professionals and patients across a range of European markets, marking a major step in the treatment of dry eye disease.
Lacrifill® is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel designed to temporarily block tear drainage by
physiologically occluding the canalicular system. By enhancing tear filmpreservation, Lacrifill® helpsmaintain natural lubricating tears on the patients’ ocular surface, offering an individualised approach to dry eye management. The in-office procedure provides a
full fill of the canalicular system and delivers long-lasting effects for up to six months.
Dry eye disease is a highly prevalent condition, affecting up to 30% of the European population
and represents a particular challenge in patients undergoing ocular surgical procedures. Pre-existing ocular surface disease in candidates for cataract or LASIK surgery can compromise
surgical outcomes and impact patient satisfaction.
“Achieving a stable ocular surface is a vital prerequisite for successful surgical outcomes. The introduction of Lacrifill® to the European market is a welcome development, providing us with a
new tool for pre-and post-operative ocular surface health optimisation and ensuring our
patients have access to the latest advancements in ocular care,” said Professor Jose Benitez delCastillo (Complutense University of Madrid, Spain).
“The European launch of Lacrifill® represents a significant milestone for Nordic Pharma”, said
Charlotte Phelps, CEO of Nordic Group B.V., “We are proud to bring this innovative dry eye
therapy to patients and healthcare professionals across Europe, and we believe it will help
many of those currently living with dry eye disease and become an important addition to dry eye management, particularly around ocular surgery.”
By working closely with the ophthalmology community across Europe, Nordic Pharma will
continue to support the launch of Lacrifill® through medical education to improve the standard
of ocular surface optimisation.
