Alcon Contact Lenses
Alcon was originally founded in
1945 as a small, ophthalmic shop in Fort Worth, Texas. Since then, it has
developed into one of the leading producers of contact lenses in the
world. CibaVision was founded in 1980 as a branch of the pharmaceutical
division of Ciba-Gelgy from Atlanta, USA. In 1996, Ciba-Gelgy merged with the
Sandoz company and together they created Novartis, one of the biggest
pharmaceutical companies in the world, with CIBA-VISION being its leading
eye-care department.
In 2013, Alcon Pharmaceuticals merged its
portfolio with that of Ciba Vision to broaden its range in ophthalmology in
order to meet the growing variety of clients‘ eye-care needs. Today, Alcon
eye-care products are among the most advanced on the market.
