Shares have formed a "double bottom" formation and are expected to move higher from this formation. Note that the company announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Bausch + Lomb ULTRA® Multifocal for Astigmatism contact lenses, the first multifocal toric lens to be available as a standard offering in the eye care professional's fit set. The news should push the shares higher.
