The use of Noctura 400 in treating medical conditions is supported by scientific and clinical evidence, generated over the last 15 years.
From the very first studies in 2010 and 2011, clinical evaluation has continued, and in the highly successful RENDER study, 96% of patients saw clinical improvement and stabilisation(2).
Across all stages of diabetic eye disease Noctura 400 has demonstrated clinical repair in 66% of patients, and no associated complications(2-6).
A full list of scientific references is provided at the bottom of this webpage.
The support of Key Opinion Leaders has been important in the research and development stages of Noctura 400. Even now that Noctura 400 is available both privately and via the NHS, we are keen to link up with clinicans and health professionals who are interested in our product.
Professor Carlos Pavesio has been a supporter of Noctura 400 since its inception.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scanning is a non-invasice imaging technique used to examine the back of the eye, specifically the retina, optic nerve and other eye structures. It uses light waves to create detailed 3D images, allowing for the early detection and monitoring of eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy.
The following case studies show the OCT scans of selected Noctura 400 patients before and after use.
