Bausch + Lomb has announced the upcoming Australian launch of Blink Hygiene Daily Eyelid Wipes, due in January 2026.
The product marks the company’s expansion of its Blink portfolio beyond dry eye management and into eyelid hygiene – an increasingly important area in ocular surface care.
The sterile, single-use wipes are the first on the market to be indicated for allergies, inflammation, blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, and pre- and post-surgical eyelid hygiene.
Bausch + Lomb said the formulation was designed to provide a convenient and clinically relevant option for daily lid care that supportsed both comfort and compliance.
Eyelid hygiene is often overlooked by patients. The eyelid margin is regularly exposed to oils, bacteria, and environmental irritants, which can contribute to conditions such as blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and infection.
Bausch + Lomb said traditional cleaning approaches, including warm compresses, diluted baby shampoo, or cotton pad scrubs, can be effective but are often inconvenient or irritating, leading to inconsistent patient adherence. For post-surgical patients, eyelid hygiene could be even more difficult, as the periocular area must be kept clean without direct contact or wetting.
Blink Hygiene Daily Eyelid Wipes simplifed this process by providing individually packaged, sterile wipes suitable for daily use or as directed by an eyecare professional. Each wipe was alcohol-free, paraben-free, latex-free, and perfume-free, making it suitable for sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, adults, and children. The formulation included hyaluronic acid to hydrate, aloe vera to soothe irritation, allantoin to support comfort, and bio glycerol to maintain moisture balance. The wipes could also be warmed to loosen secretions or chilled to relieve inflammation and irritation, offering versatility for both routine and clinical applications.
The new product represented the first in the Blink Hygiene sub-range, broadening the Blink brand’s focus from dry eye relief to comprehensive eyelid and ocular surface care.
Bausch + Lomb said this expansion provided clinicians with a more complete toolkit for managing eyelid conditions and supporting surgical recovery.
Blink Hygiene Daily Eyelid Wipes will be available to Australian eyecare professionals and patients from January 2026. For further information, contact Bausch + Lomb Australia on 1800 251 150.
