Insulin Eye Drops: A Breakthrough in Neurotherapeutics for Alzheimer’s Disease

At The Think Clinic, we are committed to advancing innovation in Alzheimer’s care. Families facing this disease deserve not only compassion but also new possibilities. One of the most promising frontiers is the use of insulin eye drops, a novel approach that could represent a true breakthrough in neurotherapeutics.

Why Intranasal Insulin Fell Short

For years, intranasal insulin was studied as a way to deliver insulin to the brain. While promising in theory, results were inconsistent due to:

• Unreliable absorption — nasal passages differ greatly and are affected by congestion or inflammation.

• Uneven distribution — Instead of reaching the small “olfactory region” (the gateway to the brain), much of the spray ended up coating the throat or dripping into the stomach — where it’s useless for brain health.

• Patient discomfort — Frequent nasal sprays were inconvenient and sometimes unpleasant, which reduced adherence.

These challenges left researchers searching for a more reliable delivery method.

Why the Eye?

Ophthalmologists have used insulin eye drops for years to treat certain surface eye problems. However, in those traditional forms, insulin was not absorbed deeply enough to affect the brain.

Our patented technology changes that. It enables meaningful absorption through the eye, reaching both ocular tissues and the central nervous system. This breakthrough opens up a new pathway for delivering insulin to the brain in a simple, familiar way.

Regulatory and Licensing Notes

All components of insulin eye drops are FDA-approved molecules that can be legally compounded upon prescription. What makes this therapy unique is the proprietary delivery system that makes brain absorption possible.

The Think Clinic is the exclusive license holder, with compounding performed only through our affiliate pharmacies — ensuring quality, safety, and integrity.

A New Era in Neurotherapeutics

Insulin eye drops are still experimental and not FDA-approved for Alzheimer’s treatment, but they overcome many of the limitations of previous delivery systems. This represents a promising step toward therapies that may one day address Alzheimer’s at a deeper, metabolic level.

At The Think Clinic, we are proud to stand at the forefront of this innovation, working to bring research-driven hope to patients and families.
