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.

Dry eyes: 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. This tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye surface. The dry eye could be caused by disruption of the healthy tear film due to autoimmune disease, hormonal changes, or inflamed eyelid glands. Symptoms include a burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in your eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision.
