In context
“for patients suffering with both presbyopia and astigmatism. And so we believe that's going to be a growth driver for the future. Turning to surgical vision, growth of close to 11% in the quarter, and that's all driven by our doubling down of our focus on premium intraocular lenses, both with the Tech Odyssey launch here in the US last year and PURE C more broadly globally. As you look to 2026, we're going to be further enhancing that performance by building out the portfolio specifically with the launch of Piercy here in the United States. You touched on our fourth-quarter performance, underlying performance of our premium IOLs here in the US was outstanding. We did see that offset somewhat by some ongoing market declines in some of the legacy categories, which we're working to address, but we're confident that our Surgical Vision business can continue to be a strong double-digit growth for the foreseeable future. A couple of other areas I'll focus on here is that we are expanding global market share both in contact lenses and surgical vision, not just winning here in the States, but more importantly globally. We're focusing very much on portfolio optimization. I do think the ortho separation enables greater capital allocation to vision, supporting both R&D, commercial execution, and digital transformation. And so we're thrilled with the continued improvement in Surgical Vision and have great confidence in that continuing. Operator: Thank you. Next question is coming from Terence Flynn from Morgan Stanley. Your line is now live. Terence Flynn: Great. Thanks for taking the question. Appreciate it. Congrats on the quarter. Obviously, multiple myeloma is another one of your key growth drivers here. I”
