Alcon launches Systane Balance lubricant eye drops

Systane Balance is indicated for patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) who are unable to adequately prevent the evaporation of tears, resulting in dry eye symptoms.

Alcon claimed that Systane Balance is a scientifically engineered product that contains HP Guar, borate, sorbitol, propylene glycol and the company’s LipiTech System, an emulsion technology of mineral oil and an anionic phospholipid.

Systane Balance is designed to restore the lipid layer and the natural tear film to allow for relief of dry eye symptoms.

Alcon said that Systane Balance is made available without prescription at major retailers in the US and will become available in Latin America later this year.
