Identifying & Meeting Needs
Alcon relies on a proven formula for product development that begins with identification of an opportunity and an analysis of the situation. This leads to the design, development and implementation of a solution, which is then evaluated and reassessed to refine results. We apply this methodology to everything we do, from the manufacturing of products to our expansion into new markets. Internal processes, quality control and employee training are other areas that benefit from this basic approach, as it's one that offers a path to success while allowing for continual improvement. This, in conjunction with our close relationship with eye care professionals in the field, has helped us become the largest and most respected eye care company in the world.
Satisfying both Physician and Patient
The AcrySof® Intraocular Lens is a good example of identifying and meeting the needs of both patients and physicians. Representing the latest IOL technology for cataract surgery, the AcrySof® Intraocular Lens is the first foldable acrylic material lens specifically designed for use inside the eye - allowing for a smaller insertion incision by the physician, more accurate and secure lens placement and an improvement in visual outcomes over previous technologies. As the AcrySof® lens platform has continued to expand, Alcon remains dedicated to further enhancing the surgical procedure, as well as patient safety outcomes.
