Bausch + Lomb has launched its Blink Nourish Lubricating eye drops and Blink Boost Lubricating eye drops in the US.1 Both drops will be available in most national retailers, including Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and Amazon, according to a news release.
The preservative-free, contact lens–friendly drops have been formulated to provide hydration and comfort for dry eyes in a multidose bottle.1
"Blink Nourish and Blink Boost deliver the same science-backed, long-lasting relief that consumers have come to rely on from our other Blink eye drop products,” said John Ferris, president, Consumer, Bausch + Lomb. “These preservative-free options provide sufferers of dry eyes—especially those with sensitive eyes—with even more ways to achieve relief."
Blink Nourish is enriched with vitamin B12, vitamin C, magnesium, and amino acids that assist the drop in replenishing and rebalancing the tear film. The drop’s pH-balanced composition also hydrates the eye with the active ingredient glycerin, in addition to containing hyaluronan (HA), a natural moisturizer found in tears, and trehalose to promote tear film stability.1
Blink Boost also contains a combination of ingredients that are naturally inspired and included in the drop’s formulation in reference to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society’s DEWS II report. Some of these ingredients include HA and an electrolyte—components of natural tears—and an antioxidant, which protects HA from free radicals, the release stated. The formula is also pH balanced to match healthy tears.1
“These new preservative-free eye drops deliver a blend of ingredients that not only hydrate but also promote a healthy ocular surface,” said Gina Wesley, OD, of Complete Eye Care of Medina, Minnesota, in the release. “My patients with sensitivities now have 2 new options from the Blink eye drop portfolio to help address their dry eye symptoms.”
