BION Tears is no longer available via PBS subsidy (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) in Australia. Any remaining stock can continue to be sold over the counter to patients until stock runs out.
To help make the transition easier for those patients and practitioners currently using or prescribing Bion Tears, practitioners could recommend the PBS-listed lubricant Systane UD Lubricant Eye Drops. This has the benefit of being available in a similar delivery format, preservative-free unit dose vials, and addresses the mucoaqueous layer of the tear film with HP Guard technology.
Stocklist: For details on orders, please contact Alcon Customer Service on 1800 224 153.
RRP: $17.45
