New non steroidal anti-inflamatory for diabetic retinopathy? | 08-26-2008
Author: Steve Rubinstein, OD, Optometrist, Sound Shore Vision Care

The new prostaglandin analog is not what i find interesting in this article. A new treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy sounds much more interesting

Author: Steve Rubinstein, OD, Optometrist, Sound Shore Vision Care

Good for Alcon, little effect on the patient, slight decrease in competition. | 04-08-2008
Analysis of: Novartis and Nestlé in a Deal for Alcon | select.nytimes.com
Author: Steve Rubinstein, OD, Optometrist, Sound Shore Vision Care

Alcon becomes part of a larger group that is very interested in profiting from eye care. The patient will probably not see any changes in labeling or distribution for a few years. The companies interlock well, but do not have a lot of overlap.....except for sales reps!
