“For 75 years, Alcon has remained steadfast in its mission to connect industry-leading vision care innovations for all eye care needs and professionals who are helping patients across the world,” said Sean Clark, General Manager, U.S. Vision Care. “We are thrilled to continue this work as industry leaders by presenting an array of exciting events and presentations at Academy, including showcasing the growth of Alcon over the past 75 years and groundbreaking plans for the future.”
