Consumer Vision Care
Alcon is the largest manufacturer of contact lens care products in the world and is widely known for its artificial tears for dry eye therapy and eye vitamins to help protect eye health. While we manufacture and sell dozens of eye care products around the globe, some of our more widely used products are highlighted here.
Contact Lens Care
The surface of a contact lens may develop dry patches and protein deposits, especially late in the day. These dry patches interact with the eyelids, causing a scratchy, gritty, almost itchy sensation. They also interact with tear proteins, which can make the lens dirty. With all the additional eye care needs of contact lens wearers, it is important to select the right contact lens solution.
OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution (MPDS)
OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® MPDS is specially formulated to help maintain a shield of moisture between your contacts and your eyes. When contact lenses are soaked in OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® MPDS, the surface of the lens is reconditioned by the TearGlyde® proprietary system. This allows the lens surface to retain a thin layer of moisture keeping lenses moist throughout the day. The solution may be used with all soft contact lenses including silicone hydrogel.

Dry Eye
Dry eye describes a disorder that causes inadequate wetting of the eye. Millions of people worldwide suffer from dry eye, making this a very common condition. It usually manifests itself as dryness, itchiness or scratchiness, burning or stinging, tired eyes and sometimes includes sensitivity to light. In short, it feels like there's something in the eye causing general discomfort. Dry eye can occur as a result of the normal aging process, exposure to air pollution or other environmental factors, or in conjunction with disease.
