Refresh Tears Eye Drops

Refresh Tears is a well-known brand of lubricating eye drops formulated with Carboxymethylcellulose sodium to provide relief from dryness and irritation. The brand has a long history in ophthalmology, originally developed by Allergan, a pioneering pharmaceutical company in eye care founded in the United States.

In recent years, the ownership structure of the brand has undergone significant changes through corporate acquisitions. In 2020, AbbVie, a global biopharmaceutical giant, completed its acquisition of Allergan, bringing Refresh Tears under its extensive portfolio of healthcare products. While the brand originated in the USA, manufacturing for specific markets like India (indicated by the 'IP' or Indian Pharmacopoeia standard on the box) is often handled locally by subsidiaries or contracted manufacturing plants to ensure supply chain efficiency and compliance with regional medical standards.
