Refresh Tears Lubricant Eye Drops

Refresh Tears is a widely recognized brand of over-the-counter lubricant eye drops designed to provide relief from dryness, irritation, and environmental discomfort. The brand was originally developed by Allergan, Inc., a company with a long-standing heritage in the ophthalmic industry dating back over 70 years.

In 2020, the brand underwent a major shift in ownership when the global biopharmaceutical giant AbbVie completed its acquisition of Allergan. Today, Refresh Tears is part of AbbVie’s extensive healthcare portfolio. While the brand is American by origin and remains headquartered in North Chicago, Illinois, its manufacturing operations are international. The product is produced in the United States and various other regional hubs, such as India and Bangladesh, to maintain a global supply chain and adhere to local pharmaceutical standards.
