Healthcare hydrogel manufacturer Nexgel has added two ophthalmologists, Neil Chesen, MD, and Leonard Nelson, MD, to its scientific advisory board.
Dr. Nelson works as the co-director of the pediatric ophthalmology department and the director of the Strabismus Center at Willis Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.
Dr. Chesen has been in private practice at Reading, Pa.-based Chesen Laser Eye Center for 33 years and specializes in cataracts and LASIK.
"The Nexgel team is constantly working to advance its mission of creating high-quality hydrogel products that can be worn by both consumers and patients for long periods of time with zero irritation," Dr. Nelson said in a Sept. 29 press release. "I look forward to joining the scientific advisory board to further Nexgel's pursuit in developing these novel solutions for new indications."
