Systane® COMPLETE Lubricant eye drops mode of action video

Summary

This video introduces Sustained Complete, a revolutionary solution for dry eye relief. The product improves the tear film by enhancing the lipid layer and stabilizing the aqueous and mucin layers. Its unique formulation, featuring propylene glycol and nano-sized lipid droplets, provides long-lasting hydration, moisture retention, and protection for the ocular surface. The technology restores and protects all layers of the tear film, offering advanced lubrication and addressing symptoms of dry eye. By replenishing the lipid layer and preventing evaporation, Sustained Complete offers comprehensive dry eye relief for all types of the condition.

Takeaways

• 😀 Sustained Complete provides relief for dry eye by offering optimal ocular surface coverage and tear film stabilization.
• 😀 The tear film is composed of three layers: lipid, aqueous, and mucin, each playing a vital role in eye health.
• 😀 The lipid layer prevents evaporation of the aqueous layer, and its deficiency leads to dry eye symptoms.
• 😀 A healthy aqueous layer hydrates and protects the ocular surface, while the mucin layer supports tear film spreading.
• 😀 Changes in the mucin layer are linked to dry eye and other ocular surface diseases.
• 😀 Sustained Complete contains dip-mouse and propylene glycol to hydrate the aqueous layer and enhance the lipid layer.
• 😀 The formula features nano-sized lipid droplets that provide greater ocular surface coverage compared to micro-sized droplets.
• 😀 Propylene glycol-based formulation spreads easily across the ocular surface, improving tear film stability.
• 😀 Hydroxypropyl guar (HP guar) in Sustained Complete helps retain moisture and enables slow release of lipid droplets.
• 😀 The product uses anionic phospholipids, which improve the stability of the tear film by linking better to the aqueous layer.
• 😀 Sustained Complete technology restores and protects all layers of the tear film, providing advanced moisture delivery to relieve dry eye symptoms.

Q & A

What is the primary benefit of the Sustained Complete formulation for dry eye relief?

Sustained Complete provides long-lasting dry eye relief by stabilizing the tear film, enhancing moisture retention, and improving the integrity of the ocular surface.

What are the three main layers of the tear film, and why are they important?

The tear film consists of the lipid, aqueous, and mucin layers. These layers work together to protect and hydrate the ocular surface, ensuring proper eye health and comfort.

How does a healthy lipid layer contribute to eye health?

A healthy lipid layer prevents the evaporation of the aqueous layer, which helps maintain the stability of the tear film and protects the ocular surface from damage.

What happens when the lipid layer of the tear film is deficient?

A deficiency in the lipid layer leads to increased evaporation of the aqueous layer, contributing to the symptoms of dry eye, such as irritation and discomfort.

What role does the aqueous layer play in the tear film?

The aqueous layer hydrates and protects the ocular surface, maintaining eye health by providing moisture and nutrients to the eye.

How does the mucin layer contribute to tear film function?

The mucin layer supports the spreading of the tear film across the ocular surface, ensuring even coverage and reducing friction during blinking.

What specific ingredients in Sustained Complete help to enhance moisture retention and tear film stability?

Sustained Complete contains propylene glycol, hydroxypropyl guar (HP Guar), and a lipid complex with polar phospholipids and mineral oil, which work together to improve moisture retention and stabilize the tear film.

What makes the nano-sized lipid droplets in Sustained Complete more effective than larger droplets?

Nano-sized lipid droplets cover more surface area on the eye and penetrate more effectively into the tear film, providing better coverage and enhancing tear film stability compared to micro-sized droplets.

How does the propylene glycol-based formulation in Sustained Complete benefit the tear film?

Propylene glycol helps to hydrate the aqueous layer instantly, providing soothing relief while also allowing for the slow release of nano-sized lipid droplets to replenish the tear film.

What is the role of hydroxypropyl guar (HP Guar) in the formulation of Sustained Complete?

HP Guar interacts with the aqueous layer to help retain the demulcent properties of propylene glycol, improving moisture retention and ensuring a prolonged and sustained release of lipids into the tear film.
