Medication details

Description

Systane Ultra Eye Drops stand as a trusted solution for individuals grappling with the discomfort of dry eyes. Dry eye syndrome, or dry eye disease, is a prevalent ocular condition characterized by insufficient moisture or lubrication on the surface of the eye. It can manifest as symptoms like itchiness, burning sensations, redness, gritty feelings, and blurred vision. These symptoms often result from an inadequate quantity or poor quality of natural tears.

Systane Ultra Eye Drops are engineered to alleviate these distressing symptoms effectively. They are designed to mimic the composition of the eye's natural tears, providing long-lasting relief and comfort. The advanced formulation of Systane Ultra incorporates a precise combination of active ingredients that work synergistically to address the underlying causes of dry eye.

Dry eye can occur for various reasons, including environmental factors, aging, certain medical conditions, and medication side effects. Regardless of the cause, the goal of Systane Ultra is to soothe the irritation and restore a more comfortable and clearer vision.

The eye drops are suitable for individuals experiencing occasional or chronic dry eye symptoms. Whether your dry eyes are due to prolonged screen time, contact lens wear, exposure to windy or dry environments, or medical conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction, Systane Ultra offers relief that can make a significant difference in your daily comfort and visual clarity.

Directions

Wash Hands: Before using Systane Ultra Eye Drops, ensure your hands are clean and dry.

Remove the Cap: Twist off the cap of the eye drop bottle.
Tilt Head Back: Gently tilt your head backward, looking upward.

Pull Lower Eyelid: With one hand, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

Apply Drops: Hold the eye drop bottle upside down over your eye and squeeze it to release one or two drops into the pocket created by your lower eyelid. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye.

Close Eye: Close your eye gently and blink a few times to help spread the solution evenly.

Repeat if Necessary: If you need to administer drops to both eyes, repeat the process for the other eye.

Replace Cap: Securely replace the cap on the eye drop bottle.
