Systane Lubricant Eye Drop 15ml

Alcon Systane Lubricant Eye Drops are formulated to give soothing, long-lasting relief from the signs and symptoms of dry, irritated eyes. They relieve ocular fatigue, burning and stinging, and the foreign body sensation or grittiness that comes from an inadequate natural tear film, exposure to wind or sun, or prolonged screen and close work. 15ml multi-dose bottle.

Why choose Systane Lubricant Eye Drops

The formulation is built around two lubricants and a gelling agent. Polyethylene glycol-400 (4mg/ml) and propylene glycol (3mg/ml) do the lubricating, and hydroxypropyl guar is what makes Systane Lubricant Eye Drops distinctive - it helps the drop form a retaining matrix on the eye surface rather than draining away, which is where the "long-lasting" comes from.

It targets the specific complaint most people actually have. Grittiness and the feeling of something in the eye is not usually a foreign body at all - it is a tear film that has broken down, most often from screens, air conditioning, wind or sun. Restoring the surface film is what removes that sensation, along with the burning, stinging and heavy, fatigued feeling.

It is a multi-dose bottle preserved with Polyquad (polyquaternium-1), which is worth knowing when choosing. A bottle is convenient and economical for occasional or moderate use. If you dose frequently through the day, or your eyes have reacted to preserved drops before, a preservative-free single-use product is the better fit. Discard the bottle four weeks after opening.

Common uses

Screen and office work, air conditioning, driving, wind and sun exposure, and the general dry eye that comes with age or with certain medicines. If you need drops many times a day, or preserved drops have irritated your eyes, a preservative-free option in single-use vials is the better choice - Cellufresh and Celluvisc both come as 30 sealed single-use containers. Tears Naturale is another multi-dose alternative.
