Not sure if sold off or just moved to the commodity of contact lenses.
Alcon is in a troubled scenario. They are kool aid drinkers of their own kool aid. They are infatuated with their own products and their betterment of their competition.
The competition has a small % of total that matches Alcon. Apple meet Orange. They don’t care anywhere near as much as you do. They have multiple interests.
Also
yea there is a consumer and a provider customer involved here. They are not all drinking from your same fountain of kool aid.
so either Alcon year in year out sells more cars or the gig is up.
