Competitive Landscape
RxSight competes in the premium IOL market against giants like Alcon, Johnson & Johnson Vision, and Bausch + Lomb. Its unique, defensible advantage is the post-operative adjustability of its lens, a feature no other FDA-approved IOL possesses. It competes on outcome certainty and customization rather than directly on the fixed optical properties (multifocality, EDOF) of incumbent lenses.
