Alcon Inc.

Could not find a ticker for this position, may be a filing error

A global eye-care company that makes contact lenses sold under brands like DAILIES, AIR OPTIX, and Precision1, plus surgical equipment and products for cataract and vision-correction procedures, used by eye doctors and patients worldwide. It was founded in 1945 in Fort Worth, Texas, when two pharmacists, Robert Alexander and William Conner, blended sterile eye drops at night in their small pharmacy — and the name Alcon comes from combining the first syllables of their last names. Today it is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, after being spun off from Novartis in 2019.
