Systane Eye Drops Recalled Nationwide

In December 2024, Alcon Laboratories recalled one lot of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops due to a risk of fungal eye infections.

Fungal Eye Infections

Fungal eye infections can be severe or life-threatening, which could potentially lead to side effects such as:

• Eye infection
• Vision loss
• Blindness
• Other life-threatening complications
• Sepsis
• Hospitalization
• And more

What Happened?

No illnesses or infections were reported, but Alcon received a complaint from a consumer who noticed foreign material inside a sealed single-use vial and “determined the material to be fungal.”

What is the Risk?

Eye drops are supposed to be sterile because they are applied directly to the eyes, which bypasses some of the body’s natural defenses.

Mold or fungal contamination in eye drops could potentially cause eye infections, vision loss, blindness, or other life-threatening complications, including sepsis and death. According to the recall:

“Fungal contamination of an ophthalmic product is known to potentially cause eye infections. If an infection occurs, it may be vision-threatening, and in very rare cases potentially life-threatening in immunocompromised patients.”

How To Identify Systane Eye Drops

Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF are used for the temporary relief of burning and irritation in people with dry eye symptoms.

The recall involves the following product:

• Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF (Preservative-Free) — Single Vials On-The-Go, 25-count box
• Packaged in a cardboard carton containing 25 sterile, single-use LDPE plastic vials of preservative free solution for ophthalmic use
• NDC 0065-1432-06
• UPC 300651432060
• Lot number 10101
• Expiration Date 2025/09

What Should I Do?

Anyone who experienced an eye infection or side effect should seek medical attention. The manufacturer urges consumers to “contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to using this drug product.”
