shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents
received in respect of any such Third Party Claim. The indemnifying Party shall not be
required to provide indemnification notice with respect to a Third Party Claim to the extent
that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the failure to give
timely notice by the indemnified Party or the intentional misconduct of the indemnified Party.






	13.3.2	 	Assumption of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense
of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the indemnified Party within fourteen
(14) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice or sooner
if necessary. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party
shall not be

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.





	 	 	construed as an acknowledgement that the indemnifying Party is liable to
indemnify any SPA Indemnitees or RTU Indemnitees (as applicable) in respect of the Third Party
Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may
assert against any indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.
	 
	13.3.3	 	Control of the Defense. Upon the assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim
by the indemnifying Party:






	 	a)	 	the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third
Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party, which shall be
reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party;
	 
	 	b)	 	the indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the indemnifying Party all
original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified
Party in connection with the Third Party Claim; and
	 
	 	c)	 	except as expressly provided in Section 13.3.4, the indemnifying Party shall
not be liable to the indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified Party or any SPA Indemnitee or RTU Indemnitee (as applicable) in
connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. To the
extent that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to
indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party
Claim, the indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any
loss incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with
respect to such indemnified Party or Indemnitee.






	13.3.4	 	Right to Participate in the Defense. Without limiting Section 13.3.2 or Section
13.3.3, any SPA Indemnitee or RTU Indemnitee (as applicable) shall be entitled to participate
in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim and to retain counsel of its choice
for such purpose; provided that such retention shall be at its own expense unless, (i) the
indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and retain counsel in accordance with
Section 13.3.2 (in which case the indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (ii) the
interests of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim
are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties
under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.
	 
	13.3.5	 	Settlement. The indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the
entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of any Third Party
Claim, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem
appropriate; provided that:






	 	a)	 	the sole relief provided is the payment of money damages;






Page 33 of 41











 





[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.




	 	b)	 	the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in
a finding or admission of any negligence, intentional malfeasance, violation of any
Applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any person and does not effect on any
other claims that may be made against the indemnified Party;
	 
	 	c)	 	the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in
the indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement being adversely affected; and
	 
	 	d)	 	the consent, settlement or other disposition does not, and will not, result in
the indemnified Party becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise will
adversely affect the business of the indemnified Party in any manner.






	 	 	With respect to all other Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the
defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 13.3.2, the indemnifying Party
shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or
otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim with the prior written consent of the
indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other
disposition of a Third Party Claim by an indemnified Party that is reached without the prior
written consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no indemnified Party shall admit any
liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without
the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
	 
	13.3.6	 	Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
prosecute any Third Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each Indemnitee
to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records,
information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to
indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the indemnified Party of, records and
information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making indemnified
Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the
indemnifying Party shall reimburse the indemnified Party for any out-of-pocket expenses in
connection therewith.




13.4 Insurance. Each Party shall obtain and carry in full force and effect the minimum insurance
requirements set forth herein, which shall protect Indemnitees with respect to events covered by
Section 13.1 and Section 13.2. Such insurance (i) shall be primary insurance with respect to each
Party’s own participation under this Agreement, (ii) shall be issued by a recognized insurer rated
by A.M. Best “A-VII” (or its equivalent) or better, or an insurer pre-approved in writing by the
other Party, (c) shall list the other Party as an additional named insured thereunder, and (d)
shall require thirty (30) days written

notice to be given to the other Party prior to any
cancellation, non-renewal or material change thereof. The types of insurance, and minimum limits
shall be General liability insurance with a minimum limit of [*] per occurrence and [*] in
aggregate. General liability insurance shall include, at a minimum, Professional Liability,
Clinical Trial Insurance and, beginning at least thirty (30) days prior to First Commercial Sale of
the Licensed Product, product liability insurance. Upon request by a Party, the other Party shall
provide Certificates of Insurance evidencing compliance with this Section. The insurance policies
shall be under an occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available to a Party, then
such Party shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this
Agreement during any period in which such Party continues to make, to have made, to use, to offer
for sale, to sell or to import a product that was the Licensed Product under this Agreement, and
thereafter for a period of five (5) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may
self-insure in whole or in part the insurance requirements described above, provided such Party
continues to be investment grade determined by reputable and accepted financial rating agencies.

14.3 Equitable Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in
Article 10 (Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure) are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the Parties and that neither Party would have entered into this Agreement
in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of
Article 10 (Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure) may result in irreparable injury to the other Party
for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach
of any provision of Article 10 (Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure) by a Party, the other Party may
be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief,
whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings,
profits and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other rights or remedies to which such Party may be entitled in law or equity.
Nothing in this Section is intended, or shall be
construed, to limit the Parties’ rights to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of any
provision of this Agreement.



14.4 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any
of the terms of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by duly
authorized representatives of each Party or, in the case of waiver, signed by duly authorized
representatives of the Party or Parties waiving compliance. The delay or failure of any Party at
any time or times to require performance of any provisions shall in no manner affect the rights at
a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any Party of any condition or of the breach of any
term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of
the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.



14.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 13.1 (Indemnification by SPA)
and Sub-Section 13.2.2, the provisions of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties
and their permitted successors and permitted assigns and none of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party, including, without limitation, any
employee or creditor of either Party hereto. No such Third Party shall obtain any right under any
provision of this Agreement


Page 37 of 41









 





[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of
any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against either Party.



14.6 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed (i) to create or
imply a partnership, association, joint venture or fiduciary duty between the Parties, (ii) to make
either Party the agent of the other for any purpose, (iii) to alter, amend, supersede or vitiate
any other arrangements between the Parties with respect to any subject matters not covered
hereunder, or (d) to give either Party the right to bind the other or to create any duties or
obligations between the Parties, except as expressly set forth herein. All Persons employed by a
Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs/expenses and
obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be for the account and expense of such
Party. The Parties agree that the rights and obligations under this Agreement are not intended to
constitute a partnership or similar arrangement that will require separate reporting for tax
purposes in SPA Territory.



14.7 Assignment and Successors. This Agreement is personal to both Parties and neither Party shall
sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose – other than SPA’s right to
sublicense under Article 4 (Patent License Grants and Know-How Access) of its rights or delegate
its obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part
without the prior written consent of the
other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, excepting always that each Party may, on
providing written notice to the other Party, assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and
interests of such Party, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the other Party to any
of its Affiliates, or to any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets and/or all or
substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation
resulting from any merger or consolidation of such Party with or into such corporation. Any
permitted assignee of all of a Party’s rights under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a party to
this Agreement as though named herein; provided with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, such
assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and
obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall
be void.



14.8 Binding Effect. All validly assigned rights of a Party shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by, and all validly delegated obligations of such Party shall be binding on and be
enforceable against, the permitted successors and assigns of such Party, provided that such Party,
if it survives, shall remain jointly and severally liable for the performance of such delegated
obligations under this Agreement.



14.9 Force Majeure. The occurrence of an event which materially interferes with the ability of a
Party to perform its obligations or duties under this Agreement which is not within the reasonable
control of the Party affected, not due to malfeasance, and which, with the exercise of due
diligence could not have been avoided (“Force Majeure”), including, without limitation, fire,
explosion, flood, earthquake, war, accident, strike, riot, terrorist attacks, civil commotion, acts
of God, or the like, will not excuse such Party from the performance of its obligations or duties
under this Agreement, but will suspend such performance during the continuation of Force Majeure.
The Party prevented from

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



performing its obligations or duties because of Force Majeure shall be
required to, as soon as reasonably possible, notify the other Party hereto of the occurrence and
particulars of such Force Majeure and shall be required to provide the other Party, from time to
time, with its best estimate of the duration of such Force Majeure and with notice of the
termination thereof. The Party so affected shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such
causes of nonperformance. Upon termination of Force Majeure, the obligation to perform any
previously suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence.



14.10 Headings; References. Article, Section and Subsection headings are inserted for convenience
of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, (i)
references in this Agreement to any Article, Section or Exhibit shall mean references to such
Article, Section or Exhibit of this Agreement, (ii) references in any section to any clause are
references to such clause of such section, and (iii) references to any agreement, instrument or
other document in this Agreement
refer to such agreement, instrument or other document as originally executed or as amended if
expressly stated in this Agreement.



14.11 Interpretation. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular
shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all
genders. The term “including” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality
of any description preceding such term. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the
language mutually chosen by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting Party shall not
be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (ii) the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all Parties and not in favor of or against any Party,
regardless of which Party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement.



14.12 Severability. If and to the extent that any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction holds
any of the terms, provisions or conditions or parts thereof of this Agreement, or the application
hereof to any circumstances, to be illegal, invalid or to be unenforceable in a final
non-appealable order, (i) such provision shall be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a
part hereof, and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its
severance herefrom, in each case provided that the basic purpose and structure of this Agreement is
not altered.



14.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Unoprostone Supply Agreement, and all subsequent
related agreements, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of the Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement, including all
confidentiality agreements entered in to between the Parties with respect to the subject matters
hereof. Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any representations, warranties or covenants
of the other Party except as specifically set out in this Agreement. All Exhibits referred to in
this Agreement are intended to be and are hereby specifically incorporated into and made a part of
this Agreement. In


Page 39 of 41









 





[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed

with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



the event of any inconsistency between any such Exhibits and this Agreement,
the terms of this Agreement shall govern.



14.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and both of which, taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by
facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any
other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a
document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original
signature.



14.15 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall pay the
fees and expenses of its respective attorneys and all other expenses and costs incurred by such
Party incidental to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.



14.16 Further Assurance. Each Party shall perform all further acts and things and execute and
deliver such further documents as may be reasonable and necessary or as the other Party may
reasonably require to give effect to this Agreement.



14.17 License Survival During Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any
Section of this Agreement are and shall otherwise be deemed to be “intellectual property” as that
term is defined in Section 101(56) of Title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or in
other corresponding definitions under corresponding foreign bankruptcy codes under other
Applicable Law in other country(ies) in the SPA Territory. Upon and after any Insolvency Event
involving any Party, the other Party shall retain and may fully exercise all of its respective
rights and elections under the applicable insolvency law, including, without limitation, rights and
elections under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or in other corresponding sections under
corresponding foreign bankruptcy codes under other Applicable Law in other country(ies) in the SPA
Territory to the extent applicable. Furthermore, upon and after any Insolvency Event involving any
Party, the other Party shall be entitled to (i) a complete duplicate of, or complete access to, any
such intellectual property, and such intellectual property, if not already in its possession, shall
be promptly delivered to the non-insolvent Party, unless the insolvent Party elects to continue,
and continues, to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) elect to refrain
from treating this Agreement as terminated with respect to the intellectual property rights granted
to it under this Agreement and instead retain its rights to such intellectual property, as such
rights existed immediately before the Insolvency Event and without interference, for the duration
of the term of this Agreement.



14.18 Press Release. Subject to Section 10.3 (Use of Name and Disclosure of Terms), the Parties
shall issue the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit E(Press Release) on the Execution Date of
this Agreement.

Sucampo Acquires Rights to Rescula® for U.S. and Canada




Strengthens Sucampo’s Prostone Product Portfolio

Potential for Label Expansion in Dry AMD




Bethesda, Maryland, and Tokyo, Japan — April 23, 2009 — Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (NASDAQ:
SCMP) and R-Tech Ueno, Ltd. (RTU) (Osaka Exchange Hercules code: 4573), today announced that
Sucampo Pharma Americas, Inc. (SPA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
licensed from RTU the commercialization rights to Rescula® (unoprostone isopropyl) in
the United States and Canada, including all associated patents and other intellectual property. In
addition, RTU will be the exclusive supplier of finished product to Sucampo.



Rescula was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of open-angle
glaucoma and ocular hypertension in 2000. In addition to these approved indications, Sucampo
management believes that Rescula has the potential to be a treatment for dry age-related macular
degeneration (dry AMD). As a result, Sucampo plans to initiate a phase 2 clinical trial with
Rescula for dry AMD in 2010.



Ryuji Ueno, M.D., Ph.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals,
said, “We are very pleased to add Rescula to Sucampo’s product portfolio, alongside
Amitiza®. We look forward to re-launching Rescula for its currently approved
indications and to developing it as a potential treatment for dry AMD. We believe Rescula will be
an important and integral part of our product portfolio. Both Rescula and Amitiza are created from
the prostone technology whose therapeutic potential I discovered in the 1980s and is also the basis
for Sucampo’s clinical and preclinical pipeline compounds. Rescula targets disorders caused by the
aging process, which is consistent with the commercial focus of Sucampo and one of my abiding
passions.”



Ms. Yukiko Miyake-Hashitera, President and Chief Executive Officer of R-Tech Ueno Ltd., said, “I am
very pleased with this agreement as it provides an opportunity for Rescula to significantly impact
the quality of vision and quality of life of patients both in the U.S. and Canada. I have the
utmost confidence that the potential of Rescula will be fully maximized.”

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.





Gayle Dolecek, P.D., M.P.H., Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Sucampo
Pharmaceuticals, said, “Rescula’s safety profile and novel mechanism of action are two of its
product attributes that provide a rationale for new indications. Its existing FDA approval status
and safety profile should facilitate entry into clinical trials for dry AMD patients. If those
trials are successful, Rescula will provide us the opportunity to meet the unmet medical needs of a
substantial patient population.”



Stanley G. Miele, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, said, “This
agreement provides Sucampo’s sales team with a second prostone product. As part of our future
re-launch of Rescula, we will continue focusing on the Amitiza market segments we now serve, while
establishing relationships and a collaborative approach with specialists who treat ocular
disorders. This is a very nice fit for our commercial team.”



Terms of the Agreement




Under the terms of the agreement, Sucampo will hold the exclusive rights to commercialize Rescula
in the U.S. and Canada for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Sucampo also will
have the right to develop Rescula for additional indications. Sucampo also will have the right of
first refusal to commercialize in the U.S. and Canada any additional indications for which Rescula
is developed by RTU. RTU will be exclusively responsible for supply of Rescula to Sucampo for the
U.S. and Canada.



Sucampo will make an upfront payment to RTU of $3.0 million and will be responsible for additional
milestone payments based on the achievement of specified development and commercialization goals.
Sucampo will be responsible for the development, regulatory, and commercialization activities and
expenses for Rescula in the U.S. and Canada.



As of April 1, 2009, RTU held six percent of the outstanding common stock of Sucampo
Pharmaceuticals’ outstanding shares. Dr. Ueno, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sucampo
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and his wife, Dr. Sachiko Kuno directly and indirectly own a majority of the
capital stock of RTU. Dr. Ueno and Dr. Kuno do not hold any management or board positions with
RTU. Dr. Ueno and Dr. Kuno are both members of the board of directors of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals
and together directly or indirectly hold a substantial majority of the common stock of Sucampo
Pharmaceuticals.



About Rescula (unoprostone isopropyl)




Rescula (unoprostone isopropyl) is a synthetic docosanoid that is administered topically as a
liquid eye drop that activates the BK channels in cells within the retina. Sucampo management
believes that this activation of BK channels lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the
outflow of aqueous humor. Clinical studies have shown that in patients with a mean baseline IOP of
23 mm Hg, unoprostone isopropyl lowers IOP by approximately 3 to 4 mm Hg throughout the day.



In clinical and preclinical studies Rescula has: increased ocular blood flow to the optic nerve and
in the choroid; maintained visual field; delayed retinal degeneration induced by rhodoposin by
inhibiting apoptosis; inhibited topographic and blood changes in an ischemic optic nerve head; and
lowered intraocular pressure. SPA believes that these clinical effects suggest that Rescula could
potentially be effective in the treatment of other ocular diseases.



Rescula received its first marketing approval in Japan in 1994 for the treatment of glaucoma and
ocular hypertension.

About dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD)




More than 8 million people in the U.S. currently have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a
disease which causes damage to the retina resulting in loss of vision. AMD is the leading cause of
irreversible blindness in adults, worldwide. The prevalence of AMD in the U.S. is expected to
increase by more than 50 percent, to approximately 12 million by 2020. More than 85 percent of all
people with intermediate and advanced AMD have the dry form, [1]



AMD is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central
vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving.
AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows the seeing of fine detail. The macula is
located in the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina
instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses or nerve signals, which are sent to
the brain. Dry AMD occurs when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down,
gradually blurring central vision in the affected eye. As dry AMD progresses, patients may see a
blurred spot in the center of their vision. Over time, as less of the macula functions, central
vision is gradually lost in the affected eye. The most common symptom of dry AMD is slightly
blurred vision and a need for more light to read and do other tasks. Dry AMD generally affects
both eyes, but vision can be lost in one eye while the other eye seems unaffected. [2] Currently,
no drugs have been approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of dry AMD.



About glaucoma




Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve, or retina, resulting in
vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly
rises. However, with early treatment, one can often protect one’s eyes against serious vision
loss.



It is estimated that over 4 million Americans have glaucoma and that it accounts for 9 to 12
percent of all cases of blindness in the U.S. [3]
