At Gilbert Eyecare, patient safety and well-being are always our top priorities. We want to inform you about a voluntary nationwide recall of one (1) lot of Systane® Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF issued by Alcon Laboratories. This recall stems from a single production lot, identified as SDV2A1, due to potential contamination concerns.
While this recall has understandably raised some questions, we want to provide clarity and reassurance to our valued patients:
1. This Is Not a Recommended Product at Gilbert Eyecare
For years, Gilbert Eyecare has been highly selective in recommending eye care products. Systane® Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF has not been among the products we’ve advised our patients to use. We continuously evaluate and recommend options that prioritize safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes.
2. This Appears to Be an Isolated Incident
The issue pertains only to one specific lot of the product. According to the recall notice, no other Systane® products or lots are affected. Alcon Laboratories has taken prompt action to address the issue, and the recall underscores their commitment to transparency and patient safety.
3. We’re Monitoring for Updates
While this recall appears to be limited in scope, our team is closely monitoring for any further developments. If new information arises that impacts your eye care or treatment, we will promptly share updates and guidance.
What Should You Do?
If you are currently using Systane® Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra PF, check the packaging for the lot number SDV2A1. If your product matches this lot, discontinue use immediately and follow the instructions provided in the FDA’s official recall notice.
