Alcon to extend eye drop product lines

HUENENBERG, Switzerland Alcon recently announced that it is releasing two new line extensions this summer across its Systane Lubricant Eye Drops product line.

The product expansions include a dry eye drop for contact lens wearers and a preservative-free, single unit dose product.

Systane Contacts Lubricating Eye Drops, the new moisturizing drop for contact lens wearers, will be shipped in May and is designed to keep eyes comfortable while wearing contacts. 

Systane Ultra Preservative Free Vials will launch in August, the company reported. The dry-eye therapy provides extended protection to the ocular surface and increased comfort from the symptoms of dry eye.

“There are over 60 million Americans who suffer from dry eye, and we know they all have different needs,” stated Elyse Dickerson, product manager for Systane. “Expanding our product offering gives consumers more choices for effectively relieving their symptoms with a product designed for their specific needs.”
