BLCO Bausch and Lomb Corporation

By Ben Glickman

Bausch + Lomb said Thursday it had acquired the Blink eye drop product line from Johnson & Johnson's Vision segment for $106.5 million, to be paid with cash on hand.

The deal follows another recent acquisition by the Canadian eye-care company to expand its portfolio. The Wall Street Journal reported that Bausch + Lomb is planning to buy Xiidra, a dry-eye drug, from Novartis for $1.75 billion, with potential add-on payments of up to $750 million.

Bausch + Lomb Chief Executive Brett Saunders, known for pursuing mergers and acquisitions, returned to the company in March after previously leading it from 2010 to 2013.
