Alcon is expanding dry eye care in Canada with Systane PRO Preservative-Free, a triple-action eye drop designed to hydrate, restore tear-film stability, and protect against further dryness. The formula combines HP-guar, hyaluronic acid, nano-sized lipids, and propylene glycol to address multiple components of dry eye within one product. According to Alcon, the drops provide up to 12 hours of symptom relief, making them the longest-lasting option in the current Systane portfolio. The preservative-free format is intended for all types of dry eye.
The launch strengthens Alcon’s ability to serve consumers experiencing dry eye from factors such as aging, environmental conditions, and digital device use. By adding a more comprehensive formula alongside Systane Complete, Ultra, Balance, and Hydration, Alcon can address different symptom profiles and consumer preferences within one established brand. The Canadian introduction also expands the company’s premium eye-care portfolio with a longer-lasting treatment option.
