Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: JHK owns Betaliq and Tarsier stock. Betaliq is developing an intraocular pressure-lowering eyedrop. Tarsier is developing an anti-inflammatory eyedrop. Neither is marketing their products at this point. VYB is a member of the Advisory Board for Kowa.
