A high precision micro pump consistently meter a dose of only 6µl matching the optimal absorption capacity of the cornea and causing no excess liquid to irritate the skin. An eye drop bottle dose is 30-60µl and thus very ineffective.
An eye aiming interface makes it easy to accurately and precisely instill the mist into the cornea without having to tilt the head in an unnatural position or to accidentally touch the eye with the device.
The internal geometry of the nozzle is optimized to vaporize the liquid into a fine mist, which feels comfortable and soothing in the eye compared to a single, dense drop.
A two-step intuitive activation procedure is designed to enable users with reduced strength in their hands to easily load and release the mist. This is particularly an advantage to seniors and children.
A unique micro-dosing pump controls the consistent dose release of only 6µl for optimal absorption in the cornea of the eye. This also minimizes systemic exposure or skin irritation in the eye area.
A smart eye interface to be placed around eye socket gently forces the eye lit open and ensures a precise and safe topical administration with no risk of cross contamination or eye trauma.
The internal geometry of the nozzle is designed to vaporize the substance into a fine mist with a broad impact pattern coating the entire cornea of the eye for a comfortable feeling.
A two-step ergonomic and intuitive activation procedure is designed to enable users with reduced strength in their hands to easily load the system and release the mist in any head position preferred.

EYE-GO is continuously improving and testing MistGo®.
We are proud to report that we during 2023 have completed multiple successful tests:
Micro-dosing eye medication is as safe and efficacious as conventional eye drops.
MistGo® micro-dosing mist technology, with only 6 μL dose volume, provides a comparable pupil dilation using Tropicamide 1%, as when using a conventional eyedrop applicator with approximately 30 μL dose volume.
MistGo® is designed to provide an effective barrier to microbial ingress and is a delivery device suitable for preservative free eye medications.
MistGo® offers patients significant advantages over conventional bottles.
The design of an eye drop bottle leads many patients to administer their medication incorrectly.
MistGo® is an innovative alternative designed to help patients administer their eye medication in a more precise and user-friendly way. The better user experience translates into higher patient compliance, healthier eyes, and higher quality of life for patients.
MistGo® has a large performance window and is able to administer different kinds of topical treatments, even the ones with high viscosity and stickiness.
We are happy to share that we’ve welcomed Signe Wej Jensen to our team as RA/QA Engineer.
Signe has experience from the Danish medical device companies Ambu and Radiometer Medical, where she has worked mainly with support to development projects, risk management, supplier management, sterilization validation, auditing and handling of complaints and nonconformities.

EYE-GO is proud to receive the Business Award 2021 from the Municipality of Rudersdal in Denmark. EYE-GO is awarded for entrepreneurship with great growth potential.
Press release from Rudersdal Municipality:
“EYE-GO is an entrepreneurial company with a revolutionizing innovation and a great potential. EYE-GO has developed the eye care technology MistGo®, which can replace traditional eye care bottles and improve the quality of life for people suffering from eye conditions.”
Henrik Nagel, CEO of EYE-GO, states: “EYE-GO has a dream to improve the quality of life of people worldwide suffering from chronic eye conditions. We believe MistGo® can disrupt the way people take their eye-medication. No more hassle with eye drop bottles, which are often difficult and uncomfortable to use, and which lead to over-medication – simply because of the size of the liquid drop. MistGo® is easy and comfortable to use and only dispenses the precise dose absorbable by the eye in a gentle mist quicker than you can blink. With this, we make it easier to follow a treatment plan to the benefit of patients, practitioners and the society.”
EYE-GO is a start-up company located at DTU Science Park close to Copenhagen with a functional prototype tested by professionals and users. In the near future EYE-GO will add to the team to speed up the product development and identify pharma partners to go to market.
During the summer, EYE-GO teamed up with the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital in Copenhagen to conduct a Comfort study of the MistGo® technology. 20 patients aged 40-90 years and suffering from dry eye disease with severe to mild symptoms participated. The results were striking and univocal. The study confirmed a strong preference of patients for our mist delivery over drop delivery from an eye drop bottle.
Commonly cited reasons for high scores in favor of the mist delivery with MistGo® were:
“I feel the liquid is distributed better and more effectively in the eye with the mist.”
“My eyes feel better lubricated with the mist.”
“The mist leaves no excess liquid in my face or running down my cheeks.”
“The mist dose seems more optimal and therefore also more economic.”
“With the mist delivery I have peace of mind and feel reassured that my eyes have been treated correctly”.
To learn more about the study and scores, contact Henrik Nagel on hna@eye-go.com.
EYE-GO is happy to announce that we have developed
the first fully functional prototype of MistGo®. This milestone achievement is in line with the technical development project.
It means that partners can now touch and feel the right thing and even test MistGo® on the skin with a simple saline solution.
Contact Henrik Nagel on hna@eye-go.com for more.
Danish MedTech start-up disrupts the global market for eye treatment: Many challenges are associated with the conventional eye drop bottle. The global ophthalmic industry has long pushed for a way to better deliver medication to the eye. Now, the Danish-based MedTech start-up, EYE-GO, has the solution that can improve the lives of millions of people globally suffering from severe eye conditions. Leading ophthalmologists and frontrunning international players in the industry have already named it “a true game-changer in eye treatment”. The Danish state participated in the latest investment round.
EYE-GO has developed a truly revolutionary medical device for ophthalmic drug administration. This system is the first to consistently secure the right dose and the right delivery into the cornea of the eye so that people with severe and chronic eye conditions can benefit from the full effect of the ocular medication for improved eye health.
Henrik Nagel, CEO of EYE-GO elaborates: “One of the disruptive features of our technology is a high precision micro pump that releases a gentle mist of only 6µl (microliters), which matches the optimal absorption capacity of the cornea. In comparison, a dense drop from an eye drop bottle is between 30-60µl (microliters), which is a significant waste of resources as it cannot be absorbed in the cornea, and also risks irritating the skin around the eyes.”
The effectiveness of EYE-GO’s advanced technology makes it cost-competitive globally to the conventional eye drop bottle. It further allows the global ophthalmic industry to optimize the level of active ingredients and introduce innovative ocular medication for entirely new treatment possibilities. That is good news for patients, and for business.
Another revolutionary aspect of EYE-GO’s ocular drug delivery system is its ease of use.
Henrik explains: “We wanted to create an exceptional user experience, at the same time as delivering the best therapeutic treatment effect for the eye. The result is a system that is extremely easy and comfortable to use – whether you are young or senior, and whether you are at home or on the go. People with eye disease are simply much more inclined to complete their treatment when it can be done in a convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free way. And that translates directly into a reduced risk of blindness, improved eye health, and quality of life.”
Chairman of the board, Christian Stig Møller concludes: “We are very excited about the future. From the beginning, there has been an overwhelming interest in EYE-GO, and we are far in the dialogue with several interested pharma partners. We are also in the very fortunate position that all funding is in place to finalize the fully functional prototype that is reproducible in large numbers. That will take us from proof of technology to proof of concept.” Today, the circle of owners of EYE-GO includes business angles, Maj Invest, and as of this fall also financial support from Vækstfonden and Innovationsfonden, both owned by the Danish state.
EYE-GO is excited to announce that we have raised more than USD 1 million in a new investment round. The investment has been secured with the participation of all current shareholders that comprise business angles and Maj Invest, but also from Vækstfonden and Innovationsfonden – both owned by the Danish state.
This capital injection enables us to produce our first fully functional prototype that is reproduceable in large numbers, thus moving us from proof of technology to proof of concept.
Our team is growing again. To secure a strategic approach to RA and QA as well as handle the dialogue with relevant regulatory bodies going forward, Sten Elkjær Andersen will join our team as Director of RA & QA also as of November 1st.
Sten has worked within the medico industry his entire professional career amongst others as Director of RA & QA at Ambu A/S. With Sten on board we are equipped best possible to continue to comply with and develop in line with regulatory requirements.
In an effort to secure greater strategic focus and even better execution of the strategy, it has been decided to make changes in key organizational positions at EYE-GO. As of October 2018, chairman Jesper Boysen and board member Henrik E. Wulff will step out of the board. Instead former board member Christian Stig Møller has been constituted as new chairman.
At the same time, the new board of directors has decided to appoint Henrik Nagel as new CEO of EYE-GO. Henrik comes with more than 25 years of international management experience from world-leading tech companies mainly within life science. He is the perfect candidate to secure the future continued success of EYE-GO.
To further strengthen our commercial muscle and accelerate activities even further Louise von Haffner will join our team as Director of Business Development as of October 1st. With her strong track record of translating tech solutions into compelling value propositions and of bringing wining go2market strategies to life, we are certain Louise will be a great asset to our team.
At the same time we staff-up in the area of RA and QA. To secure a strategic approach to RA and QA as well as handle the dialogue with relevant regulatory bodies going forward, Sten Elkjær Andersen will join our team as Director of RA & QA also as of October 1st. Sten has worked within the medico industry his entire professional career amongst others as Director of RA & QA at Ambu A/S.
