How Systane sustains dry eye relief
More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from dry eye symptoms,1 with about one in five adult Australians affected.2 Dry eye symptoms can include irritation, stinging, burning, grittiness, excessive tearing, blurriness and eye fatigue.
The tear film is made up of two layers – an oily layer (lipid) on top and a watery layer (muco-aqueous). Systane Complete replenishes the eye’s watery layer and stabilises the lipid layer to prevent evaporation.3 Unique Systane technology allows for increased retention of the soothing agents on the ocular surface, resulting in prolonged dry
eye relief.4.
Systane Complete targets all layers of the tear film to provide relief from all types of dry
eye by optimising surface coverage, stabilising the tear film and retaining moisture.3,5,6
