"Through our innovative products and the great work of the Alcon Foundation, our more than 20,000 associates work every day to help people see brilliantly. Being the ‘Official Sponsor of 20/20’ is a fun way to demonstrate that everyone at Alcon, regardless of their role, shares a common goal of helping people around the world preserve their sight. We look forward to our associates bringing the theme to life in creative ways by hosting vision screenings and launching other activities designed to promote eye health in the year ahead."

Alcon chief executive officer David J. Endicott, in a statement earlier this month in which the company noted its plans to celebrate World Sight Day and its intention to adopt the theme, “Alcon: The Official Sponsor or 20/20” for the upcoming year.
