Bausch & Lomb (NYSE:BOL) today reported certain preliminary and unaudited financial metrics for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, as well as the comparable 2005 periods. The work surrounding the previously announced expanded procedures and restatement of financial results is not complete. As a result, there can be no assurance that the amounts reported today will not differ, including materially, from those reported when the Company files its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2006.
