Bausch and Lomb traces its roots to 1853 when John Jacob Bausch, a
German immigrant, set up a tiny optical goods shop in Rochester, New York.
Today, after years of intensive research and determined development, the Bausch
& Lomb company is one of the most-respected and best-known healthcare brands
in the world, offering the widest and finest range of eye health products
including contact lenses, lens care products, pharmaceuticals, intraocular
lenses, and other eye surgery products.
Originally founded in 1945 as a small, opthalmic shop in Fort Worth, Texas,
Alcon has developed into one of the leading producers of contact lenses
in the world. Ciba Vision was founded in 1980 as a branch of Atlanta-based
Ciba-Gelgy's pharmaceutical division. 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.
