Allergan spun-off the company to its stockholders on June 29, 2002 and Advanced Medical Optics became an independent public company. Headquartered in Santa Ana, Calif., Advanced Medical Optics develops, manufactures and markets medical devices for the eye. The company markets and sells products through three major strategic business units (SBUs): cataract, refractive and eye care.

The refractive SBU markets excimer and femtosecond laser systems, related treatment cards and disposable patient interfaces, related diagnostic devices and refractive implants. The eye care SBU provides a full range of contact lens care products for use with a wide range of contact lenses.
