Introduction & Market Context
Bausch + Lomb Corp (NYSE:BLCO) reported 3% constant currency revenue growth in its Q2 2025 financial results, showing resilience despite ongoing challenges from the enVista intraocular lens recall. The company’s performance represents a recovery from Q1 2025, when it missed both EPS and revenue expectations, causing an 11.3% stock decline.

The company’s Q2 results demonstrate progress in its strategic roadmap as it transitions to what it calls "Phase 3: Accelerate Growth" after completing earlier phases focused on restructuring and innovation.

CEO Brent Saunders had previously emphasized the company’s commitment to patient safety and innovation during the Q1 earnings call, stating, "Patient safety is non-negotiable." The Q2 results demonstrate the company’s ability to navigate challenges while continuing to drive growth across its portfolio.
With the resumption of full production for the enVista platform and approximately 200,000 lenses shipped to resupply market inventory, Bausch + Lomb appears to be successfully addressing the recall issue that impacted its Q1 results. The company’s raised guidance suggests confidence in its ability to maintain momentum through the second half of 2025.
