Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on TearLab (NASDAQ: TEAR) with a Buy. PT $6.00.

Analyst, Jeffrey Frelick, said, "Physician survey highlights opportunity for TearLab. We conducted a survey of 34 US ophthalmologists, with the majority responding that approximately 40-50% of their patients present with dry eye disease. We would also note that the majority use a diagnostic test to confirm DED; however, only 17% stated they are very familiar with the TearLab Osmolarity System, presenting an opportunity for this new technology."

"The US markets potential alone includes 50,000 eye specialists who see on average six dry eye patients per day, equating to a $1.8 billion opportunity."
