Alcon has announced the US launch of Systane PRO preservative-free (PF), a fresh addition to the company’s longstanding Systane portfolio. According to Alcon, Systane PRO PF is the longest lasting eye drop in the Systane line. While the drop is not a long-term solution to dry eye disease (DED), its triple action, preservative-free formula temporarily relieves burning and irritation due to eye dryness.1
“We are proud to introduce SYSTANE PRO PF, the first and only multi-dose preservative-free triple action formula with hyaluronate, nano-sized lipids and HP-Guar that support the active ingredient giving patients long-lasting relieffrom the symptoms of dry eye,” Terry Kim, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Medical Safety at Alcon, said in a press release. “This is another example of how Alcon is bringing innovation to the SYSTANE portfolio to address the needs of dry eye patients.”

DED remains one of the most common ocular surface disorders, with incidence rising due to compromised tear stability and moisture retention tied to increased digital device usage, aging, and environmental irritants. The triple action formulation of Systane PRO PF provides sustained hydration, restores tear film stability, and protects against additional irritation to give patients long-lasting relief from DED symptoms.
“As an eye care professional and global dry eye expert, I know that patients should benefit from the design of a triple action preservative-free formula that includes hyaluronate to address all types of dry eye,” Selina McGee, OD, FAAO, Founder and Chief Optometrist of Bespoke Vision in Edmond, Oklahoma, said in a press release. “SYSTANE PRO PF provides hydration and protection of the ocular surface and can also stabilize the lipid layer of the tear film to reduce evaporation and provide lasting dry eye relief for my patients.”
The launch will begin in the US in February and will extend to additional markets in 2026. Alcon will feature Systane PRO PF at SECO, which is happening February 26-March 2, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.
