We generally manufacture our cataract and laser vision correction products at single sites, creating a potential for a material business interruption should any of these sites be affected by a natural disaster or plant shutdown. We manufacture phacoemulsification, femtosecond and excimer laser systems in Milpitas, California. We manufacture our IOLs in Añasco, Puerto Rico and in significantly lower volumes in Groningen, Netherlands, and our viscoelastics in Uppsala, Sweden. If any of these facilities were affected by a natural disaster or plant shutdown, our supply of products could be interrupted. We may not be able to identify and validate alternative sources for the affected products in a timely manner, given the substantial regulatory requirements required for such validations. Any prolonged disruption in the operation of our manufacturing facilities or those of our third-party manufacturers could materially harm our business.
