 (including any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations
thereof, the “Special Meeting”), relating to the proposed acquisition of the Company (the “Proposed Merger”)
by Alcon Research, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alcon”). In connection with the Proposed Merger, the Company
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time), by and among the Company,
Alcon and Rascasse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcon.

We believe the Proposed Merger
is NOT in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, pursuant to the attached Proxy Statement, we are soliciting proxies from holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to vote “ AGAINST” approving the Proposed Merger.

The Special Meeting is scheduled
to be held virtually via live webcast on [●], 2025, beginning at [●] Pacific Time. Stockholders will be able to virtually
attend the Special Meeting and vote at the Special Meeting by visiting [●].

We recommend that you carefully
consider the information contained in the attached Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by completing, signing, dating and promptly
returning the enclosed GREEN Proxy Card today, or by voting “AGAINST” approving the Proposed Merger via the
Internet or by telephone according to the instructions provided on the enclosed GREEN Proxy Card.

If you have already voted
for the Company’s proposals relating to the Proposed Merger on the Company’s proxy card, you have every right to revoke such
proxy card by (i) completing, signing, dating and returning a later dated GREEN Proxy Card, (ii) voting via the Internet or by
telephone by following the instructions on the enclosed GREEN Proxy Card, (iii) submitting written notice of the revocation to
the Company’s Corporate Secretary or (iv) attending the Special Meeting and voting your shares online.
