About Systane Ultra Eye Drops

What is Systane Ultra Eye Drops?

Systane Ultra Eye Drops are a type of artificial tear solution designed to provide temporary relief from burning and irritation due to dryness of the eye. They are formulated to moisturise and lubricate the eyes, offering comfort and protection.

What are Systane Ultra Eye Drops used for?

Systane Ultra Eye Drops are primarily used to improve eye health by alleviating symptoms of dry eyes. They help to lubricate the eyes, providing relief from irritation, burning, and discomfort. Additionally, they can be used to protect against further irritation.

How do Systane Ultra Eye Drops work?

Systane Ultra Eye Drops work by mimicking the natural tears of the eye. The active ingredients, Polyethylene Glycol 400 and Propylene Glycol, act as lubricants that help to maintain moisture on the eye’s surface. This reduces friction and provides a protective barrier, which helps to relieve dryness and irritation.

Who are Systane Ultra Eye Drops suitable for?

Systane Ultra Eye Drops are suitable for adults and children who experience dry eye symptoms. They are particularly beneficial for individuals who spend long hours in front of screens, wear contact lenses, or are exposed to dry or windy environments. However, they may not be suitable for individuals who have allergies to any of the ingredients in the drops or those who have certain eye conditions. Always consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use.

How to use Systane Ultra Eye Drops

• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
• Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze one or two drops into the pocket.
• Close your eyes for a few moments and gently press on the inner corner of your eye to prevent the liquid from draining away.
• Repeat for the other eye if needed.

Systane Ultra Eye Drops can be used as needed throughout the day to relieve dry eye symptoms. The duration of use depends on the severity of your symptoms and the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. For chronic dry eye, they may be used long-term.
