ScoobyDoo 2 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I was just looking for these eye drops that everyone is talking about and found this recall. Check it out on their website: http://www.systane.com/ something about mold in it... Thanks for posting...the recall is only for Systane FREE, not the regular Systane. I was given a sample of the Systane Free from my optometrist 6 months ago...kind of scary. I'll be mailing it in. Luckily, I usually use the regular one because that is the only one I could find at the store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScoobyDoo 2 Share Posted February 10, 2007 No problem. What is the difference between the regular and the "free"? From the Systane website: Q: How is SYSTANE® Free LIQUID GEL different from original SYSTANE®? A: SYSTANE® Free LIQUID GEL uses a different preservative system than that of original SYSTANE®. The original formulation of SYSTANE® is based on the POLYQUAD® preservative system that has been used for more than 20 years to prevent contamination of eye care products. Furthermore, the original formulation of SYSTANE® has been used safely by consumers since 2003. Q: Is original SYSTANE® safe to use or could a similar issue occur? A: Original SYSTANE® has been proven in both clinical trials and real world usage to be safe and effective for the temporary relief of burning and irritation due to dryness of the eye. A similar situation should not occur, since the original SYSTANE® formulation uses the POLYQUAD® preservative system, which has been used for more than 20 years to prevent contamination of eye care products.
