Supplement to Proxy Statement
For the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To be held May 15, 2025
This supplement (the “Supplement”) amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by Lightwave Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2025 in connection with the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) on Thursday, May 15, 2025.
The purpose of this Supplement is to correct certain inadvertent errors in the Proxy Statement regarding voting standard information. Other than this correction, the Proxy Statement remains unchanged, and this Supplement does not otherwise amend, supplement, or affect the Proxy Statement. From and after the date of this Supplement, any references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as amended and supplemented by this Supplement. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement and the other proxy materials previously made available to shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.
If you have already voted your shares, you do not need to vote again unless you would like to change or revoke your prior vote on any proposal.

Vote Required
The vote required
to ratify the appointment of Stephano Slack LLC to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the

present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each
share held. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” this proposal,
