Alcon announced the US launch of SYSTANE PRO Preservative-Free (PF) as part of the company’s dry eye products. The over-the-counter eye drop is the longest lasting eye drop in the SYSTANE portfolio with a unique triple action, preservative-free formula for temporary relief of burning and irritation caused by dryness of the eye.

Currently, dry eye disease is one of the most common ocular surface disorders, affecting approximately 45.5 million people in the US and 1.5 billion globally. SYSTANE PRO PF uses sustained hydration to restore tear film stability and protect patients against further irritation of dry eyes.

“We are proud to introduce SYSTANE PRO PF, the first and only multi-dose preservative-free triple action formula with hyaluronate, nano-sized lipids and HP-Guar that support the active ingredient giving patients long-lasting relief from the symptoms of dry eye,” Terry Kim, chief medical officer and head of global medical safety, Alcon, said. “This is another example of how Alcon is bringing innovation to the SYSTANE portfolio to address the needs of dry eye patients.”

Patients with dry eyes usually experience symptoms when moisture retention and tear stability are compromised as a result of factors, such as aging, environment, and digital device use. Alcon’s new product will work to deliver long-lasting dry eye symptom relief for all types of dry eyes.

“As an Eye Care Professional and global dry eye expert, I know that patients should benefit from the design of a triple action preservative-free formula that includes hyaluronate to address all types of dry eye,” Selina McGee, founder and chief optometrist of Bespoke Vision in Edmond, Oklahoma, said. “SYSTANE PRO PF provides hydration and protection of the ocular surface and can also stabilize the lipid layer of the tear film to reduce evaporation and provide lasting dry eye relief for my patients.”

The launch starts in the US this month and will extend to more markets in 2026. SYSTANE PRO PF will also be featured at the SECO International meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
