Alcon is a Swiss eye care company founded in Texas in 1945 that was owned by Nestle and then Novartis before being spun out as an independent listed company in 2019. It operates in two halves: surgical, which supplies the intraocular lenses, phacoemulsification equipment and consumables used in cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, and vision care, which sells contact lenses and eye drops. Headquartered in Geneva and listed in Zurich and New York, it is the largest eye care device company in the world and benefits directly from ageing populations, since cataract surgery is among the most common procedures performed anywhere.
