Escalon Ophthalmics was established in 1987 and introduced Betadine 5% ophthalmic prep solution and the first silicone oil approved for use in the US. The company became public in 1996 under the holding company name Escalon Medical Corp, and in 2000, Sonomed, Inc. was acquired by Escalon. Since that time through acquisition, product divestitures, partnerships, and product development, the company has grown and expanded its product offerings, and all its ophthalmic products are branded as Sonomed Escalon. What hasn't changed is our commitment to providing the best products, outstanding service, and doing what it takes to get it right - pure and simple.
