Alimera Sciences Launches Online Consumer Ordering
 ATLANTA (May 9, 2005) - Alimera Sciences Inc., a dynamic ophthalmic pharmaceutical company, today announced that its Soothe® Emollient (Lubricant) Eye Drops are now available for purchase over the Internet. To order the over-the-counter eye drops, consumers and professionals can visit www.sootheeyedrops.com or link from Alimera Sciences' home page.
In addition, the site will continue allowing consumers to search for local retailers, and the company has added to the search option national chain pharmacies selling Soothe.
"The Alimera Sciences team is proud to bring the convenience and speed of online shopping to our consumers," said Dan Myers, Alimera Sciences CEO. "In addition, our availability continues to expand as the major national pharmacies are stocking Soothe."
Soothe the market's first multi-dose, emollient-based artificial tear product, offers relief to the 12 million Americans suffering from dry eye, a condition resulting from the body's inability to produce enough quality tears to keep the eye surface lubricated. Unlike most lubricant eye drops, Soothe features Restoryl™, an advanced lipid restorative. Soothe re-establishes the eye's protective lipid layer to reduce tear evaporation and seal essential moisture, giving patients up to eight hours of
relief from dry eye discomfort.
