Alcon Naphcon-A Eye Drops

Naphcon-A is a well-known over-the-counter ophthalmic solution used for the temporary relief of redness and itching of the eye caused by allergies. The brand was originally developed by Alcon, a company founded in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1945 by Robert Alexander and William Conner.

Today, Alcon is a global leader in eye care and is a publicly traded company headquartered in Switzerland. For several decades, Alcon was owned by Nestlé and later by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis. However, in April 2019, Alcon was spun off as a fully independent, standalone company. While Alcon maintains significant operational and historical roots in the United States, its corporate ultimate owner and headquarters are officially based in Switzerland. Manufacturing for Naphcon-A occurs in multiple high-tech facilities globally, primarily in the United States and Europe, depending on the specific regional market.
