(“Ocular” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:OCUL) and certain of its officers and directors.  The case seeks remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities that acquired Ocular securities between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  If you would like to discuss this action or have any questions regarding this notice or your rights, please contact either Bruce Parke (bparke@sfmslaw.com) or Jonathan Dilger (jdilger@sfmslaw.com); (866) 540-5505.
