Systane is a globally recognized brand of artificial tears and lubricant eye drops designed to provide relief from dry eye symptoms. The brand was originally developed and launched by Alcon, a company with deep roots in optical health. The manufacturing for Systane products primarily takes place in the United States, specifically at large-scale facilities in Texas, though Alcon maintains a global supply chain to meet international demand.

Alcon was founded in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1945. For several decades, it operated as a subsidiary under Nestlé and later Novartis. However, in April 2019, Alcon was spun off into a standalone, publicly traded company. Today, Alcon Inc. is headquartered in Switzerland and remains the ultimate owner of the Systane brand. It stands as the largest eye care device company in the world, specializing in both surgical equipment and vision care products like Systane.
