Competitive Landscape
Théa competes in a crowded global ophthalmology market against large-cap pharma (e.g., Novartis, Roche, AbbVie) and established pure-play ophthalmic companies (e.g., Santen, Bausch + Lomb). Its differentiation is built on preservative-free expertise, a fully integrated European manufacturing model, and a focused R&D strategy targeting specific unmet needs like myopia progression and orphan retinal diseases.
