New Partnership Expands Alcon’s In-Office Dry Eye and Ocular Health Portfolio

Alcon, the global leader in eye care, announced an agreement that provides Alcon exclusive rights to sell the BlephEx® technology and accompanying products in the U.S. The partnership with BlephEx, LLC, the pioneer in bacterial biofilm theory, demonstrates Alcon’s ongoing commitment to bringing forth transformative innovations for eye care practices. The BlephEx eyelid cleaning device and LashCam™ iR WIFI camera will join Alcon’s innovative Systane® iLux® technology in meeting the in-office, ocular surface health needs of patients.

”Since launch, Systane iLux and the wrap-around support programs have provided practice and patient benefits around the country,” said Fred Ellis, Head of Dry Eye Devices at Alcon. “While this has been a great source of pride for Alcon, we want to continue providing solutions that help Eye Care Professionals address a range of ocular surface issues. Our partnership with BlephEx will increase in-office options during a time when we are seeing more ocular surface issues, and put another tool in the arsenal to address unmet patient needs.”
