A member asked:
Is systane ultra (ud) the same as artificial tears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A variant: Systane is a slightly thicker tear replacement which I call syrupy. It will cling to the eye a little longer, providing more lengthy relief than ordinary tear replacements. So commonly it is used less often although in extremely dry eyes the schedule is very frequent.
