Bausch + Lomb Viscotears eye gel

Viscotears is a specialized ophthalmic gel designed to treat symptoms of dry eyes by providing long-lasting lubrication. The product contains carbomer, which helps the gel adhere to the eye surface. Historically, the brand was associated with Novartis and later Alcon, but through corporate acquisitions and divestitures, it has become part of the Bausch + Lomb portfolio. Bausch + Lomb is one of the world's largest suppliers of contact lenses, lens care products, pharmaceuticals, and other eye surgery products.

The brand's origin is tied to Switzerland through its Novartis roots, but it is currently owned by Bausch + Lomb, a Canadian-American company based in Vaughan, Ontario. Manufacturing for the European market, including Sweden (where the packaging mentions 'Ögongel/Øyegel'), is typically performed in specialized pharmaceutical facilities in Germany.
