The Swiss eye care company said on Oct. 16 that the eye whitener is clinically proven to be safe and effective, with a low risk of redness rebound and tachyphylaxis, or when the treatment gradually loses its effect with repeated use. The eye drop is expected to be available in the US in the coming months.
