Ivizia Eye Drops & Gel
Hi, I’m Rebecca! Today, we’re diving into the world of Ivizia eye drops and Eia gel. Before we start, a quick confession: I’m not entirely sure if I’m pronouncing them correctly! If you’ve seen the TV ads, you might already be ahead of me. These products have been getting quite a bit of airtime lately.
Who Makes Ivizia Eye Drops & Gel?
Recently, Théa Pharmaceuticals expanded into the U.S. market, bringing their eye drops and some eyelid care products along with them. They even have a preservative-free glaucoma drop on offer. But today, we’re focusing on their over-the-counter eye drops.
Sodium Hyaluronate and FDA Regulations
Sodium hyaluronate is a common ingredient in European eye drops. If you’ve followed my content, you know I’ve mentioned it countless times. However, to sell sodium hyaluronate eye drops in the U.S., companies have to add another ingredient from the FDA’s list of pre-approved active ingredients for OTC drops.
Most companies opt for glycerin, but Théa chose a different route by using a polymer called povidone. While povidone isn’t as commonly used today, it was once a popular choice for artificial tears.
The Unique Packaging of Ivizia Eye Drops
The standout feature of Ivizia eye drops is definitely their bottle. If you’re not used to preservative-free eye drops, you might be surprised by this trend. Preservative-free eye drops are increasingly being packaged in special bottles rather than single-use vials. These bottles have built-in filters that prevent bacteria from getting inside after each use.
For some reason, the U.S. has been slow to adopt this type of packaging, and people have mixed feelings about it. But let me tell you, Théa’s bottle is a game-changer. It’s one of the best I’ve seen in this category.
To give you an idea, here’s a comparison: Théa’s bottle is slightly larger than the typical 10 ml bottles you might be familiar with, but it’s easier to squeeze and delivers a precise drop every time—no more dealing with gooey messes.
Who Should Use Ivizia Eye Drops?
Ivizia eye drops are great for general daytime use. They’re reasonably priced and, in my opinion, a better option than some of the mainstream American OTC brands. However, if you have severe dry eye symptoms, you might want to consider something stronger, like Optase or Oasis Tears Plus.
One cool thing about Ivizia is that they offer their preservative-free drops in two sizes: 5 ml and 10 ml. If you’re new to the product, the 5 ml option is a more affordable way to try it out.
A Closer Look at Eia Gel
Now, let’s talk about Ivizia Gel. I have to admit, I find the packaging a bit frustrating, but that’s probably because I rarely use individual vials anymore. The gel comes in small envelopes, similar to other brands like Theratears and Oasis.
Opening these envelopes can be tricky, especially on days when your eyes are at their worst. The vials themselves are standard single-use ones.
But what exactly is Ivizia Gel? The term “gel” can mean different things depending on the brand. In this case, Eia Gel is a thick, preservative-free drop—similar to Refresh Celluvisc. If you’re looking for a modern alternative with potentially better ingredients, Eia Gel might be worth trying.
While I haven’t fallen in love with it as some others have, I do find it very comfortable. That’s a big win for a gel, which can sometimes be irritating.
