Core Business and Products
Bausch + Lomb is a world-renowned brand in vision care and ophthalmology. The company operates in three main segments: Vision Care (contact lenses and consumer eye health), Pharmaceuticals (prescription medicines for glaucoma and dry eye), and Surgical (intraocular lenses and equipment). Its well-known consumer brands include Biotrue, Lumify, and PreserVision. The company’s integrated approach allows it to provide life-cycle solutions for eye health, from daily disposable lenses to advanced surgical platforms used in cataract and vitreoretinal procedures.
Competitive Landscape
The global eye health market is characterized by high barriers to entry and intense competition among specialized medical device and pharmaceutical firms. BLCO competes directly with several large, publicly traded companies. Key rivals with active options markets on major exchanges include Alcon Inc. and Johnson & Johnson, both of which have significant market share in vision care and surgical equipment. In the pharmaceutical and contact lens segments, it also faces competition from The Cooper Companies, Inc. and AbbVie Inc.. Despite its spin-off, its former parent Bausch Health Companies Inc. remains a significant stakeholder and strategic point of comparison.
Strategic Outlook and Innovation
The company’s strategic focus is on accelerating revenue growth through new product launches and expanding its presence in the fast-growing dry eye disease market. Innovation efforts are centered on its "Vision 27" program, which aims to improve operational efficiency and margin expansion. Key growth drivers include the continued uptake of Miebo and Xiidra in the prescription dry eye space and the development of next-generation silicone hydrogel contact lenses. The long-term outlook for BLCO depends on its ability to navigate a complex regulatory landscape while successfully competing against newer, tech-focused entrants in the digital health and eye care diagnostic sectors.
