SAN DIEGO, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY), an ophthalmology-focused pharmaceutical company, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its Folcroft, Pennsylvania facility and sinus related assets for $450,000.

The markets we serve with proprietary products in ophthalmology, including our cataract surgery portfolio, medications used in post-LASIK surgery care, our Simple Drops glaucoma program we recently launched and the upcoming launches we have planned to serve dry eye disease patients and other markets in ophthalmology should allow us to build a profitable and valuable company."
