Alcon is one of the leading visioncare companies in the world. Following nine years as a Novartis subsidiary, it was spun off as a public company in April 2019. Alcon operates in two segments: vision care and surgical.
Alcon is one of the leading visioncare companies in the world, with a record of successful product development, and it will continue to launch technically superior products.
A failure to help doctors transition from Centurion to a new phacoemulsification machine (upon launch in the next two years) could leave some customers unsatisfied and moving to a different manufacturer.
