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.
