More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Ocular Sciences' income is disposable in a sense: The company makes soft contact lenses, and the weekly and monthly throwaway kind accounts for more than 90% of sales. Other lines include annual replacement and specialty lenses; it is also marketing a daily disposable in Europe and Japan. Unlike many competitors with established brand names, Ocular Sciences sells directly to private optical practices as well as some 90 retailers worldwide. Brands include Hydron, Edge, Ultraflex, SmartChoice, Echelon, Ultra T, and Versa-Scribe; the firm also produces private-label lenses for other customers. Most of Ocular Sciences' products are made in Puerto Rico and the UK. Founder and CEO John Fruth owns about 20% of the company.
