Systane Balance Lubricant Eye Drops 10mL

Systane Balance is a lipid-restoring lubricant eye drop formulated for evaporative dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Its advanced emulsion replenishes the tear film’s oil (lipid) layer, helping reduce tear evaporation and relieve burning, irritation, and fluctuating vision—ideal for eyes exposed to air-conditioning, wind, screens, or low humidity.

The formula features the LipiTech™ system (mineral oil with an anionic phospholipid) combined with HP-Guar, which forms a protective, moisture-locking matrix on the ocular surface to deliver long-lasting comfort.
