Underdiagnosed and Undertreated
Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial ocular surface disease characterized by loss of tear film homeostasis and accompanied by symptoms, in which tear film instability and hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation and damage, and neurosensory abnormalities play etiological roles.1 Dry eye syndrome can be naturally occurring or following ocular surgery.1
Only 1.7 million are using prescription therapies for their dry eye syndrome.2,3

This encompasses both episodic dry eye, which occurs intermittently, as well as chronic forms involving consistent symptoms. Our comprehensive portfolio aims to provide eyecare professionals (ECPs) multi-faceted solutions to tackle signs, symptoms, and underlying causes – not only in natural dry eye conditions but also for surgery-associated cases. With this full spectrum approach targeting the diversity of dry eye etiologies and presentations, we aim to empower ECPs with treatment options matching the needs of each unique patient.
