- During the bulking phase, both products add volume to the tear film.
- During the tear-sustaining phase, SYSTANE® Lubricant Eye Drops restructures the tear film to provide protection through 90 minutes.
SYSTANE®: The Preferred Choice
A recent patient preference study3 comparing SYSTANE® to other lubricant eye drops showed that SYSTANE® was the preferred choice for dry eye:
- SYSTANE® was preferred nearly 2 to 1
- SYSTANE® significantly reduced symptoms of dry eye in the morning and evening
