Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops (1/3 fl. oz., 3-pack) is a high-performance, over-the-counter dry eye therapy bundle produced by Alcon.
This specific configuration consists of three separate 1/3 fluid ounce (10 mL) multi-dose "Drop-Tainer" bottles, totaling 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of fluid. It is typically distributed through wholesale clubs (like Costco and Sam's Club) or bulk multi-packs at major pharmacies as a high-value stock-up option for daily users.
Core Active Ingredients & How They Work
Systane Ultra utilizes a unique dual-polymer formulation to mimic natural human tears:
- Polyethylene Glycol 400 (0.4%) & Propylene Glycol (0.3%): The twin active lubricants that shield and instantly hydrate the dry ocular surface.
- HP-Guar (Hydroxypropyl Guar): A smart gelling ingredient that blends with your natural tears upon contact. It transitions into a thin, protective gel-like matrix that anchors moisture to the eye, offering extended relief and creating a healthy environment for corneal surface repair.
Key Product Highlights
- Primary Indications: Designed for fast-acting, temporary relief from burning, stinging, tiredness, and irritation caused by dry eyes. It is highly effective for environmental dryness triggered by prolonged digital screen time, low humidity, high winds, or air conditioning.
- Contact Lens Compatibility: Safe to use before inserting or after removing contact lenses (it can also be used while wearing soft or silicone hydrogel daily lenses to re-wet and relieve lens-related dryness).
- Preserved Formula: These specific multi-dose bottles contain a very mild, low-toxicity preservative called POLYQUAD™ (0.001%). This safely protects the solution from bacterial contamination once open, without causing the heavy stinging common with older preservatives.
Usage & Storage
- Directions: Shake well before use. Instill 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed throughout the day and blink.
- Lifespan After Opening: Because it features a preserved formula, each individual bottle is generally safe to use for up to 6 months after the initial cap twist (unlike preservative-free vials which must be discarded immediately after a single day). Always store the bottles at room temperature.
