TearLab Corp. announced that Paul Smith has been named vice president of international operations, a newly created position.

According to a company press release, Smith will oversee the development and execution of a comprehensive international business strategy for TearLab.

Smith comes to TearLab after 12 years at Alcon Laboratories Inc., most recently as global marketing manager of the surgical cataract franchise.

"Alcon is well-recognized as a leader in the ophthalmic space, both at home and abroad," TearLab CEO Elias Vamvakas, said in the release. "Paul's experience at Alcon brings an important depth of knowledge of the international ophthalmic device and pharmaceutical space to TearLab's management team, and we are very pleased to have attracted an executive of his caliber to this important new position."
