Currently, we primarily compete in the IOL market in the U.S. The LAL is a premium IOL which is partially reimbursable under Medicare, and in some cases by private payors. Premium IOLs are sold at a higher price point than conventional IOLs as they provide refractive vision correction, whereas conve…

Controls & procedures
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-08-05
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if …

We are dependent on our collaboration with Alcon for the development and commercialization of products under the RxSight-Alcon Collaboration Agreement, and we have limited control over Alcon’s performance under the collaboration.
A substantial portion of the payments contemplated by the RxSight-Alcon Collaboration Agreement is contingent, and the agreement may be terminated before we realize its anticipated benefits.
The RxSight-Alcon Collaboration Agreement requires us to prioritize the collaboration and development contemplated by the RxSight-Alcon Collaboration Agreement and restricts our ability to
develop and commercialize certain competing products and may require us to repay a portion of the amounts we receive from Alcon.

As of March 31, 2026 we had $217.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Additionally, the current inflationary environment may materially affect our business and operating results by increasing the costs of our supplies and may drive the U.S. Federal Reserve system to increase interest rates, which in turn may increase our overhead costs. Rising interest rates could mak…
Any future collaborations that we enter into may not be successful. The success of our collaboration arrangements will depend heavily on the efforts and activities of our collaborators. Collaborations are subject to numerous risks, which may include that:

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
