Disop

What Disop does

Disop, S.A. is a Spanish pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1976 in Alcobendas, Madrid, specializing in contact lens care solutions and eye health products. The company operates through two principal brand families: Hidro Health for contact lens care (multipurpose solutions, peroxide disinfection systems, RGP lens solutions, and supplementary products) and Acuaiss for eye health (artificial tears, moisturizing drops, eye baths, and hygiene wipes). Its technical differentiation rests on proprietary formulation expertise, including several international patents on hydrogen peroxide neutralization tablet coating technology and pioneering use of hyaluronic acid as a humectant across its product range. Disop also launched the first contact lens solution specifically formulated for silicone hydrogel lenses.

The company generates revenue through two primary channels: own-brand product sales distributed via specialist optical and optometry retail points of sale globally, and private label manufacturing for optical chains and groups worldwide. Its products reach consumers in more than 30 countries, with international expansion dating to the 1990s. In 2022, Disop was acquired by Euclid Vision Group, becoming a subsidiary of this global eye health platform and gaining access to broader distribution resources. Disop maintains a multi-disciplinary technical team supporting over 1,000 product references on the market, with deep expertise in formulation development, manufacturing, and international product registration.

The company employs 51-100 people and operates from a single headquarters facility in Alcobendas that consolidates manufacturing, R&D, and administrative functions. Disop's go-to-market combines a dedicated direct sales team managing B2B optical chain relationships with digital marketing through its corporate website, where it publishes technical documentation, educational content, and product information for healthcare professionals and consumers.
