Shares of Bausch + Lomb rose in premarket trading Monday after the company said that data from its glaucoma procedure trials was positive.

Shares in New York traded 5% higher ahead of the morning bell at $16.51.

The eye-health company said that both primary effectiveness endpoints were met for its ELIOS procedure, an implant-free process that uses excimer laser technology to treat glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve connecting the eye to the brain.

The company said the most recent 24-month results from the pivotal U.S. clinical trial showed that there was statistically significant and clinically meaningful intraocular pressure reduction following the treatment.

ELIOS is currently under development in the U.S. and hasn't been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration for safety or effectiveness.

The procedure has been available in Europe for several years, the company said, with positive results from the 850 eyes treated.
