Product: Systane Complete
Top Line: Alcon is introducing Systane Complete, a new eye drop formula designed to provide soothing relief for every major type of dry eye. The new product joins the Systane family of dry eye drops as the brand’s most advanced solution to date. It is an ideal first-line treatment option for people who suffer from evaporative dry eye, aqueous tear deficient dry eye or mixed dry eye, according to Alcon.
Close Up: Systane Complete uses intelligent moisture and lipid delivery to enhance delivery of the active ingredient across the surface of the eye and stabilize the tear film. Its advanced nano-droplet technology allows for fast-acting hydration, tear evaporation protection and long-lasting relief for a patient’s eyes. Each drop includes the active demulcent, propylene glycol, which spreads across the surface of the eye.
Vital Stats: Systane Complete joins the full line of Systane lubricant eye drops, including Systane Ultra and Systane Balance. Systane Complete is currently available in select retail locations and e-commerce sites, and by May 2018, patients can try Systane Complete in their optometrist's or ophthalmologist's office. It will be widely available for patients to purchase over-the-counter nationwide by June 2018.
“Dry eye is a chronic issue for a large number of my patients, often making it a challenge to treat them and achieve optimal results,” said Paul Karpecki, OD, director of cornea services at Kentucky Eye Institute and Gaddie Eye Centers in Louisville, Ky. “Systane Complete represents a much-needed, over-the-counter option because the technology is designed to deliver the active ingredient in a unique way that ensures effective coverage of the eye, so I can deliver the best outcomes for my patients.”
