Dr. Ron Najafi Founder and CEO of NovaBay Pharma

Dr. Ron Nafaji CEO of NovaBay speaks at the ASF Inaugural Annual gala at The Ocean Institute. He says EKC is a miserable and incurable disease which feels like numerous grains of sand in your eyes and causes severe pain. EKC can cause serious blurred vision, impaired vision, corneal disease, and ongoing eye symptoms and debility for up to years if not a lifetime. You don't want to get this disease and need to take precautions at every eye appointment to make sure your ophthalmologist follows best practices and medically sanitizes the equipment and uses individual eye drops. Steroids are a terrible thing to give for EKC. Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis is a preventable disease and the message needs to get to the American Academy of Ophthalmology,
