EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Our Strategy

Sight Sciences’ mission is to develop transformative, interventional technologies that allow eyecare providers to procedurally elevate the standards of care – empowering people to keep seeing. We are passionate about improving patients’ lives by helping them preserve their sight. Our objective is to develop and market products for use in new treatment paradigms and to create an interventional mindset in eyecare whereby our products may be used in procedures which supplant conventional outdated approaches. Our business philosophy is grounded in the following principles:

•
comprehensively understanding disease physiology;

•
developing transformative technologies that are intended to preserve, protect and restore natural physiological functionality to diseased eyes;

•
developing and marketing products with proven clinical evidence that achieve superior effectiveness versus current treatment paradigms while minimizing complications or side effects;

•
providing intuitive, patient-friendly, interventional solutions to ophthalmologists and optometrists (together, "ECPs"); and

•
delivering compelling economic value to all stakeholders, including patients, providers and third-party payors such as Medicare and commercial insurers.

Our initial product development has focused on the treatment of two of the world’s most prevalent and underserved eye diseases, glaucoma and dry eye disease ("DED"). We have commercialized products in each of our two reportable operating segments, Interventional Glaucoma and Interventional Dry Eye. Our Interventional Glaucoma revenue consists of sales of our OMNI® Surgical System family of products ("OMNI"), currently comprised of our Ergo Series OMNI Surgical System and OMNI Edge Surgical System, and the SION® Surgical Instrument ("SION"), while our Interventional Dry Eye revenue consists of sales of the TearCare® System ("TearCare"), and related components and accessories. Each product is primarily sold through a highly involved direct sales model that offers intensive education, training and customer service. We believe this model not only enables us to differentiate our products and our company from competitors, but also expands our addressable market by educating ECPs, patients and other stakeholders on our products and evolving treatment paradigms. Outside of the U.S., we have established direct commercial operations in the United Kingdom and Germany. We sell OMNI directly in the United Kingdom and Germany, and indirectly in several other countries in Europe through distributors.

We sell OMNI and SION to facilities where ophthalmic surgeons perform outpatient procedures, such as ambulatory surgery centers ("ASCs") and hospital outpatient departments ("HOPDs"), which are typically reimbursed by Medicare (or similar foreign governmental reimbursement entity) or private payors for procedures using our products. We are focused on educating surgeons on the clinical benefits of earlier interventions with the comprehensive OMNI and TearCare procedures, driving TearCare revenue growth in the jurisdictions where appropriate payment values have been established for the TearCare procedure, expanding equitable reimbursed access to the TearCare procedure in other jurisdictions, engagement efforts with accounts, enhanced competitive counter selling, investments in targeted commercial resources including growth of our TearCare commercial infrastructure, and development of the OMNI pseudophakic standalone market.

We sell TearCare to ECPs, where eyecare providers perform evacuation of meibomian glands, using heat-delivered through wearable, open-eye eyelid treatment devices and manual expression, which TearCare is specifically designed for.

We are continuing our TearCare commercial launch while focusing on our comprehensive, clinical data-driven, long-term market development plan that aims to improve awareness and patient access to TearCare. In addition, in the areas where appropriate fee schedules have been established for the TearCare procedure, we are focusing our commercial resources on supporting providers in these specific geographies to drive utilization. Our strategy is focused on driving adoption and utilization through our experienced sales, marketing, and customer support teams who are already dedicated to the dry eye market, and the ECP customers who have previously purchased TearCare SmartHubs in these states. Furthermore, we are targeting new ECP customers in these states based on their current treatment approaches to DED, while also focusing on our current Interventional Glaucoma customers, who may benefit from adding TearCare to their current treatment offerings.

We do not have, and do not currently intend to develop, any internal manufacturing capabilities or infrastructure, and rely on a limited number of third-party manufacturers, many of which are single source suppliers, for the components, accessories and materials that are utilized in the assembly of our products. We believe the manufacturing capacity provided by our current suppliers will be adequate to meet our current and anticipated manufacturing needs across all of our product lines. However, as part of our long-term manufacturing strategy, we are actively expanding third party manufacturing capacity and options for our products, which we expect will be available to us in the current year for certain products. We plan to continue to utilize third party contract manufacturers for our products and any related components.

We believe in the importance of continued strategic investment in initiatives that:

•
further demonstrate our products’ clinical effectiveness and safety to potential customers, patients, payors and regulators, including (i) establishing OMNI and SION as standards of care of Interventional Glaucoma treatment among MIGS-trained surgeons, (ii) developing a standalone Interventional Glaucoma market segment with a focus on pseudophakic patients whose IOP is not well-controlled on two or more medications and who are at risk of disease progression, and (iii) increasing customer advocacy and utilization of TearCare while also pursuing expanded coverage and/or payment for TearCare;

•
enhance our commercial capabilities and expertise, including resources dedicated to sales, marketing and education;

•
ensure the broadest possible patient access to the treatment alternatives that our products are cleared to offer;

•
enhance and improve upon our existing product technologies; and

•
allow us to create innovative, transformational and interventional technology with new products, devices or drugs, in glaucoma and ocular surface disease or in new eye disease areas.

As a result, we intend to continue to invest in product development, market access, sales and marketing, clinical studies, and education initiatives. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for at least the next several years, and we may seek additional debt and/or equity financing to fund our operations and planned growth.

Results of Operations

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and will continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There have been no material changes to such factors from those described in our Annual Report under the heading "Factors Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations."

market, and the ECP customers who have previously purchased TearCare SmartHubs in these states. We are also targeting new ECP customers in these states based on their current treatment approaches to DED and also focus on our Interventional Glaucoma customers in these states who may also benefit from adding TearCare to their treatment offerings.

We have dedicated meaningful resources to execute our commercial strategy, while also seeking to reduce operating expenses and improve cost efficiencies to better align our operating structure for long-term, profitable growth. In the third quarter of 2025, we implemented a targeted restructuring plan in which we reduced our headcount by approximately 20% of our global workforce, and reduced our operating expenses, principally by (i) delaying certain research and development project spend while prioritizing near term pipeline projects, (ii) reducing our selling, general, and administrative operating expenses by implementing measures to limit marketing, travel, and administrative costs, and (iii) not backfilling certain open and planned headcount. As part of this restructuring, we also executed changes to our operations in the United Kingdom (“UK”) which included elimination of three general and administrative and sales management roles.

We do not have, and do not currently intend to develop, any internal manufacturing capabilities or infrastructure, and rely on a limited number of third-party manufacturers, many of which are single source suppliers, for the components, accessories and materials that are utilized in the assembly of our products. We believe the manufacturing capacity provided by our current suppliers will be adequate to meet our current and anticipated manufacturing needs across all of our product lines. However, as part of our long-term manufacturing strategy, we are actively expanding third party manufacturing capacity and options for our products, which we expect to be available to us starting in 2026 for certain products. We plan to continue to utilize third-party contract manufacturers for our products and any related components.

Revenue in our Interventional Glaucoma segment for the years-ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $75.7 million and $75.9 million, respectively, with gross margins for the same periods of 86.8% and 87.6%, respectively. Revenue in our Interventional Dry Eye segment for the year-ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, with gross margins for the same periods of 59.3% and 46.2%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated more than 90% of our revenue from customers in the U.S.

Our Interventional Glaucoma revenue was down slightly for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to a number of factors, including reimbursement coverage changes and increased competition from other minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (“MIGS”) devices. These reimbursement changes were primarily restrictions on the performance of multiple MIGS procedures in combination with cataract surgery for Medicare patients in the jurisdictions administered by the five MACs that issued the local coverage determinations (“LCDs”) containing such restrictions. We believe that these restrictions, which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2024, led to a decrease in the number of overall MIGS devices used in procedures that are being performed, including procedures utilizing our OMNI technology.

Our Interventional Dry Eye revenue was down for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower demand. Lower demand was the result of a shift in strategy to focus on establishing equitable market access for the TearCare procedure, which took effect in the fourth quarter of 2024. While we established pricing with two MACs as of October 2025, there is no guarantee as to the timing of reimbursement decisions or the amount of reimbursement, if any, with other payors. Given the earlier stage of TearCare’s commercial development, we expect our Interventional Dry Eye segment’s gross margins to be lower than our Interventional Glaucoma segment’s gross margins for the near- and medium-term due to the allocation of fixed labor and overhead costs to the segment's cost of goods sold.

We expect Interventional Dry Eye gross margin to improve over time as market access expands, although these improvements may be partially offset by the impact of tariffs.

We believe in the importance of continued strategic investment in initiatives that:

•
further demonstrate our products’ clinical effectiveness and safety to potential customers, patients, payors and regulators, including (i) establishing OMNI and SION as standards of care of Interventional Glaucoma treatment among MIGS-trained surgeons, (ii) developing a standalone Interventional Glaucoma market segment with a focus on pseudophakic patients whose IOP is not well-controlled on two or more medications and who are at risk of disease progression, and (iii) increasing customer advocacy and pursuing reimbursement including expanding coverage and/or payment for TearCare;

•
enhance our commercial capabilities and expertise, including resources dedicated to sales, marketing and education;

•
ensure the broadest possible patient access to the treatment alternatives that our products are cleared to offer;

•
enhance and improve upon our existing product technologies; and

•
allow us to create transformational and interventional technology innovation with new products, devices or drugs, in glaucoma and ocular surface disease or in new eye disease areas.

As a result, we intend to continue to invest in product development, market access, sales and marketing, clinical studies, and education initiatives. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for at least the next several years, and we may seek additional debt and/or equity financing to fund our operations and planned growth.

Factors Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that will continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For additional information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

These factors affecting our business and results of operations include, but are not limited to:

Product Development

We believe our product development approach is a key differentiator of our team and our company. We are focused on continuous innovation and design and utilize input from our network of expert employees (including ophthalmologists on staff), advisors and customers to rapidly iterate our pre-and post-commercial product designs with the aim of better satisfying the needs of our customers and their patients, delivering the most effective, safe, and consistent outcomes, and increasing adoption and utilization of our solutions. We believe it is critical to our product development approach to comprehensively understand the disease physiology, treat the underlying causes with an interventional mindset, and create products with an intuitive design and strong clinical evidence.

Once our products are launched, our customer feedback loop helps us further develop our products. This is particularly evident in the evolution of OMNI, which originated from the combined functionality of two internally developed, commercial predicate devices, each of which had their own multiple commercial iterations. Our future growth is dependen
