Alcon Inc. on Monday said it agreed to buy privately held
Ivantis Inc., maker of the Hydrus Microstent minimally invasive
glaucoma surgery device, for an initial $475 million.
The Swiss eye-care company said the deal also includes
additional contingent payments subject to the achievement of
certain regulatory and commercial milestones.
Alcon said the addition of the Hydrus device, which is designed
to lower intraocular pressure for open-angle glaucoma patients in
connection with cataract surgery, expands its portfolio across
cataract, refractive, retina and glaucoma.
Alcon said it expects to complete the acquisition of Ivantis,
based in Irvine, Calif., in the first quarter of 2022.
