Glaukos Corporation is an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal disease. Its core products include the iStent micro‑scale glaucoma devices, iDose TR long‑duration intracameral implant approved in December 2023, and Photrexa/iLink corneal cross‑linking therapies.
The FDA approved Epioxa iLink epi‑on for keratoconus in October 2025, with commercial launch planned in the first half of 2026. In 2025, about 83% of net sales came from glaucoma products (iStent family, iDose TR and accessories) and 17% from iLink therapies. The company is advancing multiple platforms, including iLution transdermal creams and Retinal XR sustained‑release intravitreal drugs, and invests heavily in R&D and international expansion.
Key risks highlighted include dependence on successful commercialization of iDose TR and Epioxa, exposure to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, manufacturing and supply disruptions, ongoing operating losses since inception, complex global regulatory and reimbursement regimes, cybersecurity and data‑privacy obligations, and intense competition from larger ophthalmic device and drug companies.
Glaukos Corporation reported record results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, driven by strong uptake of its glaucoma and corneal therapies. Fourth quarter net sales were $143.1 million, up 36% year over year, while full-year 2025 net sales reached $507.4 million, an increase of 32%.
Despite this growth, Glaukos posted a 2025 GAAP net loss of $187.7 million (or $3.28 per share), widened largely by a one-time, non‑cash impairment charge of $112.9 million tied to an acquired intangible asset from the Avedro acquisition as Photrexa transitions to Epioxa. On a non‑GAAP basis, full‑year net loss narrowed to $51.7 million (or $0.90 per share) from $98.3 million in 2024 as operating performance improved.
Non‑GAAP gross margin improved to about 85% in Q4 2025 and 84% for the year. The company ended 2025 with $282.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short‑term investments and restricted cash and reported no debt. For 2026, Glaukos expects net sales between $600 million and $620 million, reflecting continued momentum from iDose TR and its broader ophthalmic pipeline.
