Bausch & Lomb India

What Bausch & Lomb India does

Bausch & Lomb India Pvt. Ltd. is the India market entity of Bausch + Lomb, a global eye health company founded in 1853 and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE: BHC). Incorporated in Delhi in 2000 (CIN U46497DL2000PTC105978) and operating from Gurgaon, the company serves the Indian market across three core verticals: consumer vision care (contact lenses and lens care solutions), surgical ophthalmology (intraocular lenses, phacoemulsification and vitreoretinal platforms, and microsurgical instruments), and refractive surgery (femtosecond and excimer laser systems). The Indian product portfolio includes established brands such as SofLens, PureVision 2 HD, Lacelle, Biotrue, ReNu, enVista, Akreos MICS, FOCUSforce, SofPort AO, INCISE, Stellaris PC/Elite, VICTUS, and TENEO 317.

The company's technology stack spans materials science (glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic IOLs, hydrophilic MICS polymers), optics and laser engineering (SWEPT SOURCE OCT visualization, 1,740 Hz eyetrackers, femtosecond and excimer platforms), and surgical fluidics (Adaptive Fluidics, Attune Energy Management, Bi-Blade vitrectomy up to 15,000 cpm). Multiple platforms carry USFDA approvals and CE Marks, and the Akreos MICS IOL received a Gold Medal at the 2008 Medical Design Excellence Awards. The underlying Akreos MICS material has been implanted in over 3 million eyes since 1998, providing a deep clinical evidence base.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid B2C/B2B model. Consumer contact lenses and lens care products are sold directly to end consumers via the bauschandlomb.in e-commerce platform, optical retail stores, and pharmacies. Surgical and refractive products are sold to ophthalmologists, eye hospitals, and clinics through a field sales channel, typically on a quote-based, one-time capital purchase model with associated consumables. The company also operates a CSR-led demand generation channel through its 2018 partnership with the Optometry Council of India (Experience Vision program) targeting school eye screening and avoidable blindness prevention. No India-specific revenue, headcount, or unit volume is publicly disclosed.
