VAUGHAN, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced the U.S. launch of Blink Triple Care Preservative Free eye drops, which provide instant, long-lasting relief for dry eyes without the use of preservatives and are packaged in a multi-dose bottle.

Blink Triple Care Preservative Free is made with the same clinically proven formula as Blink Triple Care, helping reduce dryness, improve comfort and increase vision quality.† The preservative-free formulation also locks in moisture for long-lasting hydration and provides up to 10 hours of dry eye symptom relief.‡

“Prolonged screen time and environmental factors are driving an increase in dry eye symptoms, and consumers are looking for products that fit their needs and preferences,” said John Ferris, president, Consumer, Bausch + Lomb. “Blink Triple Care Preservative Free provides another option within the Blink portfolio, offering the same trusted 3-in-1 extended relief as Blink Triple Care while further strengthening our position in dry eye.”

This lipid-based, preservative-free, water-based formula is enhanced with a natural oil to help keep tears from evaporating too quickly, as well as hyaluronate, which is found naturally in the eyes to help boost hydration. Together, these elements create a dual-action moisture seal that locks in moisture for instant, long-lasting relief and helps reduce tear evaporation.

“Blink Triple Care is known for delivering long-lasting dry eye relief,” said Jessilin Quint, OD, MBA, FAAO, and co-owner, Smart Eye Care, Augusta, Maine. “Having a preservative-free version of that same, science-backed formula is a welcome addition for my practice, particularly for patients who have sensitivities to preservatives. Because it’s a lipid-based formula, it can be especially helpful for people with evaporative dry eye.”

Blink Triple Care Preservative Free eye drops will be available in the eye care aisle or online at most retailers nationwide, including Amazon, CVS, Target and Walgreens, by the end of June 2026. For more information, visit www.justblink.com.
