Systane BALANCE Lubricating Eye Drops is a clinical strength eye drops designed to restore the lipid layer and the natural tear film to allow for relief of burning and irritation due to dryness of the eye.
Patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) are unable to adequately prevent the evaporation of tears, resulting in dry eye symptoms. Systane BALANCE is a scientifically engineered product that contains an exclusive LipiTech™ System, a unique emulsion technology of mineral oil and an anionic phospholipid to restore the lipid layer and the natural tear film.
MGD is the most common cause of evaporative dry eye with an estimated 50 percent of dry eye sufferers experiencing MGD.
