Solx, Inc., a Waltham, MA-based medical device company, received a strategic investment from Spotlight Innovation Inc. (OTCQB: STLT).

The amount of the deal was not disclosed.

Led by Mr. Kevin McMahon, President and Chief Executive Officer, Solx develops innovative surgical technologies that treat glaucoma and preserve vision.
