Systane Hydration Lubricant Eye Drop belongs to the class of 'ophthalmic lubricants' that treat dry eyes. A dry eye is a disorder of the tear film of the eye that leads to the deficiency of tears or extreme evaporation of the tears causing damage to the ocular surface.
Systane Hydration Lubricant Eye Drop comprises Sodium hyaluronate, Polyethylene glycol, and Propylene glycol. Sodium hyaluronate acts as artificial tears and helps relieve burning sensations, dryness, and discomfort. Polyethylene glycol and Propylene glycol are the lubricating agents that treat dry and irritated eyes. They keep the eyes moist and prevent burning and itching sensations.
Systane Hydration Lubricant Eye Drop is for ophthalmic (for the eye) use only. Common side effects include eye irritation/itching, burning/stinging sensation, eye discomfort, and temporary blurry vision. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and will gradually resolve over time. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.
