Allergan recently announced that it has surpassed its goal of donating $1 million worth of REFRESH eye drops to first responders around the country. 

This is part of the company’s effort to alleviate the discomfort of dry eye symptoms of America’s heroes.

"We are thrilled to be donating $1 million worth of product to America's first responders, greatly surpassing our original goal of $250,000," CEO and President of Allergan Brent Saunders said. "I would like to thank all of those who purchased REFRESH OPTIVE this past year and made this donation possible. I believe that this campaign is indicative of Allergan's continued commitment to leadership within the eye wellness community."

The campaign called, “REFRESH AMERICA,” began last summer when Allegran announced that its goal was to aid the everyday heroes across the nation alleviate the discomfort of dry eyes caused by heat, wind, smoke and dust.

Traycee Biancamano, CEO of the U.S. First Responders Association said, "We are overjoyed with the support we have received from Allergan for the REFRESH AMERICA campaign. I know first-hand how taxing it is for your eyes to be in an environment that is severely dry, dusty and windy on a daily basis."
