Similasan
Swiss homeopathic eye, ear, and sinus drops, made gently since 1980.
Shop now →The story
What differentiates Similasan in a category dominated by preservative-loaded conventional eye drops is the formulation philosophy: homeopathic actives in saline solution, designed to relieve symptoms gently without the chemical preservatives that can themselves cause irritation over time. The brand sits in the practical middle: more than a placebo saline rinse, less aggressive than a prescription steroid drop. For dry eyes from screens, mild allergies, or a stuffy sinus, it is the Swiss-pharmacy-standard option.
Gentle relief, the Swiss way. We make the remedies we put in our own children's eyes.Armin Spaeni, Founder, Similasan AG
What makes them different
-
01
Swiss Heritage
Founded in Jonen, Switzerland in 1980. Forty-five years of refining homeopathic eye, ear, and sinus formulas inside the Swiss pharmacy tradition.
-
02
Homeopathic Actives
Each formula combines homeopathic actives at well-established dilutions, designed to relieve symptoms gently rather than to suppress them. A different mechanism to mainstream drops.
-
03
Preservative-Conscious
Many Similasan eye drops are formulated to avoid harsh preservatives like benzalkonium chloride, which can themselves irritate the ocular surface in long-term users.
-
04
Family Pharmacy Standard
Manufactured under FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and trusted in Swiss and US drugstores for decades. The brand a pharmacist hands you when you want a gentle first option.

Homeopathic nasal mist for sinus congestion without the rebound risk of decongestant sprays. Suitable for daily use during a cold or sinus flare without the worry of oxymetazoline dependence.

Touring the range
Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.
The screen-fatigue eye drop
If your eyes feel dry, gritty, or tired by mid-afternoon, Computer Eye Relief is the first Similasan product to try. A few drops in each eye during the work day.
The dry and red relief
For longer-running dry eye, contact lens irritation, or air-conditioning rooms, the Dry and Red Eye Relief is a daily-use drop without harsh vasoconstrictors.
The sinus and hay-fever mist
Beyond eye care, the nasal mists cover sinus pressure and hay-fever season. Different formulas for different jobs, both designed for gentle daily use.
