Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

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.

Bears

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.

Company Profile

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: visioncare and surgical. Visioncare comprises contact lenses, lenscare solutions, and a suite of ocular health products. With brands like Dailies, Total1, and Air Optix, Alcon controls one fourth of the U.S. contact lens market. Surgical comprises intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and consumables used during surgeries. Its main products include Centurion, a phacoemulsification device used during cataract surgeries, and a portfolio of IOLs including PanOptix and Vivity. Alcon has one of the largest installed bases of eye surgical equipment in the world.
