Connecting Ophthalmic Innovation to the U.S. Market

Sightlink is a specialized commercial agency dedicated to launching and scaling breakthrough ophthalmic technologies in the United States. Founded by industry veteran John Garland, Sightlink was built on a simple idea: deliver world-class commercial execution for companies ready to bring high-potential products into the hands of U.S. ophthalmologists.

With over 25 years of leadership in ophthalmic device commercialization, John has helped introduce and scale dozens of technologies across intraocular lenses (IOLs), femtosecond lasers, phaco platforms, and complex surgical instrumentation. From premium cataract solutions to diagnostics for the most challenging corneas, his career has been defined by successful product launches, trusted surgeon relationships, and a deep understanding of the U.S. ophthalmic landscape.

John’s experience spans global commercial leadership roles at companies like AMO, Bausch + Lomb, AcuFocus, and Microsurgical Technology, where he built sales teams, developed go-to-market strategies, and led growth across surgical and diagnostic categories. He has twice served as interim president, managed full P&L responsibility, and built national selling networks from the ground up.
