tear film & cornea models

Safer and smarter eye formulations powered by next-generation in vitro and in silico tear film and cornea models.

Specialized in vitro and in silico testing for safer ophthalmic and cosmetic formulations.

Eyveris provides mechanistic, acellular tear film and cornea models to evaluate ocular compatibility, irritability, and formulation behavior. We work with pharma and cosmetics partners to enable safer, more predictable product development and reduce R&D risk without relying on standard cellular and animal models.

Tear film & cornea–driven ocular formulation testing

Eyveris is a research-driven startup specializing in tear film and cornea models for mechanistic assessment of ocular irritation, compatibility, and formulation performance. Our technologies are built on long-term basic research in tear film biophysics, corneal surface science, and interfacial phenomena, as well as on collaborative projects with pharmaceutical partners.

Beyond the experimental models themselves, we develop specialized data analysis methodologies, proprietary software tools, and standardized workflows that ensure reproducible and interpretable results. This allows us to operate under strict academic standards while meeting the robustness expected in industrial and regulatory settings.

We collaborate with pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies to de-risk product development, support regulatory strategies, and accelerate innovation in ophthalmic and periocular formulations.

What we offer

Integrated testing and R&D support based on tear film and cornea models, tailored to ophthalmic and periocular products.

Ocular safety & irritation testing
  • Tear film destabilization and breakup analysis
  • Differentiation of formulation irritation potential
  • Fully in vitro, animal-free methodologies
Formulation development support
  • Mechanistic insight into formulation–tear film and cornea interactions
  • Excipients and preservative strategy
  • Guidance for stability, tolerability, and performance
Biocompatibility testing

Our integrated in vitro & in silico models

We combine proprietary acellular tear film and cornea models with molecular-resolution simulations to capture how formulations interact with the ocular surface at multiple scales. These models are supported by dedicated analysis pipelines, custom software, and standardized workflows that help convert complex data into actionable insight.
