**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On March 30, 2026, Sight Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court") issued an order preserving the jury's verdict of willful infringement in the patent infringement case (the "Litigation") filed by the Company in September 2021 against Alcon Inc., Alcon Vision, LLC, Alcon Research, LLC, and Ivantis, Inc. (collectively, "Alcon"). The Company had asserted that Alcon's sale of the Hydrus® Microstent ("Hydrus") infringed three Sight Sciences patents. The patents at issue were U.S. Patent Nos. 8,287,482, 9,370,443, and 11,389,328 (the "Patents"). The Court's order, which was entered on March 27, 2026, (i) preserved the jury's verdict that Alcon willfully infringed all of the Patents; and (ii) awarded monetary damages of $34 million, plus supplemental damages and interest, for past infringement, plus an ongoing royalty of 10% of Hydrus revenue through November 10, 2028, the date of expiration of Sight Sciences' last Patent. A final judgment (the "Final Judgment") is expected to be entered by the Court in the coming months after supplemental damages and pre-judgment interest have been calculated. The Final Judgment is subject to appeal by Alcon. No monetary damages will be recovered by the Company until Alcon exhausts its rights to appeal or the time for filing an appeal has passed.

In June 2025, Alcon filed petitions for *ex parte* reexamination ("EPR") with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") challenging the validity of the claims in the Patents that the Company had asserted at trial, based on prior art patents and publications. The USPTO is reexamining the validity of these claims, and any final office actions by the USPTO, if adverse to the Company, are subject to multiple layers of appeal by the Company, initially within the USPTO, and then to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. If an adverse, final and non-appealable judgment from one or more of the EPRs is entered by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals before a final and non-appealable judgment from the Litigation is entered by that same appeals court in the Company's favor, it could negatively affect the Company's ability to collect on the Final Judgment.

Previously, Alcon filed petitions for *inter partes* review challenging the validity of two of the three patents that Sight Sciences presented at trial. Those petitions were denied by the USPTO in March 2023, which concluded in each case that instituting a review of the validity of the petitioned patents was unwarranted. The USPTO found that the same or substantially the same prior art and arguments previously had been presented to it during examination of the petitioned patents, and Alcon had not demonstrated that the USPTO patent examiner materially erred when considering the prior art.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report") and is incorporated into Item 7.01 by reference.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Sight Sciences Secures Order on Post-Trial Motions That Preserves the Jury's Verdict and Awards Monetary Damages to Sight Sciences Against Alcon and its Hydrus® Microstent**

*Court preserves jury's finding of willful infringement by Alcon, and awards past damages to Sight Sciences in excess of $34 million and ongoing royalties through November 2028*

**MENLO PARK, Calif. – March 30, 2026 -** (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) (Sight Sciences or the Company), an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative, interventional technologies intended to transform care and improve patients' lives, today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the Court) issued an order on post-trial motions in Sight Sciences' patent infringement case against Alcon Inc., Alcon Vision, LLC, Alcon Research, LLC, and Ivantis, Inc. (collectively, Alcon) originally filed on September 16, 2021, that preserved the jury's verdict of willful infringement. Sight Sciences asserted that Alcon's sale of the Hydrus® Microstent (Hydrus) infringed three Sight Sciences patents.

The Court's order was entered on March 27, 2026. The order (i) did not disturb the jury's verdict that Alcon willfully infringed all three of Sight Sciences' asserted patents and (ii) awarded monetary damages of $34 million, plus supplemental damages and interest, for past infringement, plus an ongoing royalty of 10% of Hydrus revenue through November 10, 2028, the date of expiration of Sight Sciences' last asserted patent. A final judgment is expected to be entered by the Court in the coming months after supplemental damages and pre-judgment interest have been calculated. The Court's final judgment is subject to appeal by Alcon.

**Judgment Overview**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The patents at issue were U.S. Patent Nos. 8,287,482, 9,370,443, and 11,389,328

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The past monetary damages are comprised of $5.5 million in lost profits and $28.5 million in royalty damages for Hydrus sales for the period commencing from its commercial launch through the jury verdict, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and supplemental damages for Hydrus sales during the period between the jury's verdict and the Court's entry of the final judgment, in amounts to be determined after Alcon produces supplemental financial data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The final judgement, if upheld, would entitle Sight Sciences to ongoing royalties at a rate of 10% of revenue for each Hydrus sold for the period after entry of the final judgment through the expiration of the last asserted patent, which is set to expire on November 10, 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The final judgment is subject to appeal, and may be affected by *ex parte* reexamination proceedings filed by Alcon in front of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Cooley LLP represented Sight Sciences in the litigation.

"We are pleased with the results of the ruling and the recognition of our strong intellectual property portfolio in interventional glaucoma. Since 2006, Sight Sciences has been committed to elevating the standard of glaucoma care by pioneering and developing the field of circumferential microinvasive

glaucoma surgery," said Paul Badawi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sight Sciences. "We believe safeguarding our intellectual property, which includes both microinvasive glaucoma implants as well as microcatheter-based canaloplasty devices, is critical. It allows us to continue investing in our pipeline of additional interventional innovations with the goal of further elevating the standard of care on behalf of our surgeon customers and their glaucoma patients."

The Company expects to record a $5.4 million success fee to operating expenses, payable to Cooley LLP. The Company expects to exclude this success fee in the amounts reported under non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses.
