Artelac Eye Drops

Artelac is a well-known brand of artificial tears used to treat dry eyes. The active ingredient in this specific product is Hypromellose, which acts as a lubricant to soothe eyes suffering from reduced tear production. The brand is originally associated with Bausch & Lomb, a historic American eye health company founded in Rochester, New York.

Over the years, the ownership of Bausch & Lomb has undergone significant changes. Currently, it is an independent public company under Bausch + Lomb Corporation, following its spin-off from Bausch Health Companies (formerly Valeant Pharmaceuticals). While the brand has deep American roots, its manufacturing operations are global, with significant production facilities located in Germany and the United States to serve international markets.
