ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On March 6, 2007, the Company issued a press release reporting preliminary and unaudited full-year and fourth-quarter 2006 financial results (the “Press Release”). The Press Release also sets forth certain expectations of the Company’s 2007 financial performance. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Press Release includes a non-GAAP constant-currency measure that the Company uses as a key performance metric in assessing organic business growth trends. The Press Release explains which components of the financial results use non-GAAP measures and why the Company uses such measures.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including, without limitation, Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On March 6, 2007, the Company announced that it has initiated a limited voluntary recall from distribution centers and retail shelves in the United States and specific other countries of 12 lots of ReNu MultiPlus® lens care solution made at its plant in Greenville, SC because they contain an elevated level of trace iron.

This may result in discoloration of the solution in some bottles, and the shelf life of the product may be shortened to less than its two-year expiration date, due to a potential loss of effectiveness over time. The Company does not expect the costs associated with this limited recall will have a significant impact on its financial results.

If consumers notice that their lens care solution appears to be discolored, they should discard it, as it may be losing effectiveness. The recalled lots all carry the expiration date “2008 — 03” on the bottle. Consumers who have bottles from the lot numbers listed below should check the Company’s web site at www.bausch.com/productrecall or call the consumer affairs line (1-866-259-8255) to arrange for a replacement.

LOT NUMBERS SUBJECT TO RECALL: GC6030 — GC6037 — GC6038 — GC6045 — GC6048 — GC6052 — GC6061 — GC6063 — GC6072 — GC6073 — GC6080 — GC6085

A copy of the press release and additional details concerning the limited recall are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
