US FDA approves Alcon's new dry-eye drug
May 28 (Reuters) - Eye-care drugmaker Alcon (ALCC.S), opens new tab said on Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its treatment for dry eye disease (DED). Spun off from Novartis (NOVN.S), opens new tab in 2019, Alcon is betting on new product launches to accelerate sales growth in the second half of 2025 and beyond. The approval was based on late-stage studies in which the liquid medication, Tryptyr, demonstrated natural tear production as early as day one. The company said Tryptyr stimulates corneal sensory nerves to quickly increase natural tear production. DED is a condition in which the eyes either do not produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears, leading to discomfort and potentially affecting vision. The company said about 38 million individuals in the United States suffer from DED, yet fewer than 10% of diagnosed patients are being treated with a prescription product. Alcon, which produces contact lenses, dry eye drops, gels and other related products, expects to launch Tryptyr in the United States during the third quarter of 2025, with plans to introduce the treatment in other markets later. Other FDA-approved treatments for DED include Alcon's Eysuvis and Bausch + Lomb's ( opens new tab Xiidra. Last month, however, the FDA declined to approve Aldeyra Therapeutics' (ALDX.O), opens new tab treatment for DED.

Eyecare company Alcon's shares plunge on revised 2025 outlook
May 14 (Reuters) - Swiss eye care group Alcon's (ALCC.S), opens new tab, shares fell sharply on Wednesday after the company revised its 2025 outlook to reflect the impact of U.S. tariffs and as it reported first-quarter results below estimates. Late on Tuesday, Alcon raised its 2025 sales forecast to between $10.4 and $10.5 billion on FX tailwinds, up from its earlier projection of $10.2 to $10.4 billion, but lowered its core operating margin outlook to 20–21%, down from the 21–22% expected in February. Alcon's shares were down 9.4% at 0708 GMT, on track for their worst day since March 2020. "This outlook incorporates a gross tariff impact of approximately $80 million, which is expected to pressure cost of net sales," the company said in a statement, adding that it planned to fully offset the impact through operational measures and currency effects. Some analysts had expected Alcon to maintain its guidance or even upgrade it. Alcon's shares had dropped about 15% early April, reacting to President Donald Trump's tariff announcement and the subsequent response from China. The company, which produces contact lenses, dry eye drops, gels and other related products, also reported quarterly revenue of $2.45 billion, slightly below analysts' average forecast of $2.51 billion, based on LSEG data. It reported net income of $350 million, missing market expectations of $377.7 million.
