Bausch + Lomb is working with outside PR counsel as the Rochester, N.Y.,  eye care company slates an initial public offering worth up to $100M.

B+L, following a major recall of contact lens solution, was acquired and taken private in 2007 for $3.7B by Warburg Pincus, which would retain a majority stake following the IPO.

Abernathy MacGregor Group is supporting B+L's in-house team, which is led by VP of global comms. and IR Adam Grossberg. 

The 160-year-old company, which had revenue of more than $3B last year, in late 2012 hired Goldman Sachs to explore a sale and reports indicated WP was looking for as much as $10B for B+L. It announced the IPO filing on March 21. 

Abernathy COO Carina Davidson is handling B+L.
