How the Company Makes MoneyOmeros Corporation makes money primarily through the sales of its commercial product, Omidria. Revenue is generated by selling Omidria to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other medical facilities where cataract and lens replacement surgeries are performed. The company has also received funding and financial support through partnerships, government grants, and collaborations to support its research and development activities. Additionally, Omeros may receive milestone payments and royalties from licensing agreements related to its pipeline products in development, though the majority of its current revenue stems from Omidria sales.
