Patient One President Gerard McIntee stated, “We are both honored and proud to be selected as winner, being recognized with the top distinction in a field of outstanding formulas industrywide.” Noting that Patient One’s formulas are developed based on scientific data, McIntee added that “We were especially pleased to formulate OpticOne™ in collaboration with two esteemed ophthalmologists: Dr. Luciano Barros Galhardo, an ophthalmologist postgraduate of geriatrics and subnormal vision and Medical Director of Benchimol Eye Clinic; and Dr. Amir Zisman, an ophthalmologist postgraduate in Glaucoma by UFRJ, Chief of Glaucoma Sector at the Benchimol Eye Clinic, and Fellow at Gundersen Clinic (US).

“Tens of millions of people over the age of 55 are concerned with eye health, and as the population ages the number is expected to increase,” McIntee explained. “We’ve found that the eye care category is underserved in the practitioner-exclusive supplement marketplace, and in particular, Patient One has identified a gap in formulas that support common conditions related to optic nerve damage.”
