The main thing that distinguishes one product from another is the proportions of those two ingredients. Genteal and Systane ointments are mostly white petrolatum (94%) and only 3% mineral oil.

However, not everyone who has moderate to severe overnight dry eye symptoms therefore has to use an ointment. Many people can get by with a less viscous (not to mention non-greasy!) lubricant, such as a polymer gel or even gel drop, if they also use some kind of night protection (shield, mask, goggle,

People use products sometimes for additional purposes, and doctors also often recommend products for purposes beyond the scope of their labeled purposes. Manufacturers, however, cannot advertise their products for these \"off-label\" purposes, for obvious reasons!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sometimes exercise my free speech rights in this shop to identify and explain common off-label uses if I think they are important uses for patients to be aware of because they could be helpful to them. Nevertheless I'm depending on you, the intelligent, rational reader, to understand what \"off-label\" is and discuss any ophthalmic pharmaceutical product use with your doctor. Incidentally, there's a whole 'nuther backstory to why no dry eye drops say, on the label, that they're okay to use with contacts, relating to the fact that lubricants are regulated as drugs, while contact lens wetting drops are technically considered medical devices. But I've bored you enough - back to our regularly scheduled programming now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT and WHY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eFor a great many years now, Refresh Celluvisc has been popular amongst PROSE and scleral lens users as a supplement to the preservative free saline they fill their devices\/lenses with. I remember this personally from more than 10 years ago when some PROSE users who had chronic problems with mucous buildup inside their lenses were starting to use it. Today, one of the most frequent questions I see coming up in the Facebook groups is troubleshooting lens fogging, and many others are responding that they address this with Celluvisc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE NOTE that both mucous and fogging can be due to a number of causes, from lens fit to your cleaning and disinfection regimen, or they may be specific to eye diseases you have. So it is very, very important that you fully brief your doctor on any such things going on so they can help you resolve it. Here, I'm just pointing out what so many people already know, that Celluvisc for some users seems to successfully address these issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO USE IT: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eI suspect it's different for every user.

Many people can get by with a less viscous (not to mention non-greasy!) lubricant, such as a polymer gel or even gel drop, especially if they also use some kind of night protection (shield, mask, goggle, etc.).

However, due to (in my opinion) antiquated FDA regulations, American manufacturers are not allowed to list HA as an active ingredient - which also means they can't advertise it (a\/k\/a explain its benefits). In addition, the concentration of HA is not listed since it's on the \"inactives\" list. So annoying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut as I was saying, they have to list something else as the active ingredient. Each manufacturer has gone down a different path. For Oasis, and for Clear Eyes Pure Relief, it's glycerin. For Refresh Relieva, it's CMC and glycerin, so basically a cross between Refresh Plus and the others. For Blink, it's polyethylene glycol. And now for Systane, it's the usual Systane stuff (PEG and prop glycol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps by the time industry straggler Bausch \u0026amp; Lomb gets around to thinking about making its own, the FDA will find a way to allow them to start talking about the benefits.

HA is a good thing, and seeing more and more US companies jump on that bandwagon is a good thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe now - finally - have quite a few on the US market. Outside the US, HA is used as the activate ingredient in many very popular drops such as Hylo Forte. However, due to (in my opinion) antiquated FDA regulations, American manufacturers are not allowed to list HA as an active ingredient - which also means they can't advertise it (a\/k\/a explain its benefits). In addition, the concentration of HA is not listed since it's on the \"inactives\" list. So annoying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut as I was saying, they have to list something else as the active ingredient. Each manufacturer has gone down a different path. For Oasis, and for Clear Eyes Pure Relief, it's glycerin. For Refresh Relieva, it's CMC and glycerin, so basically a cross between Refresh Plus and the others. For Blink, it's polyethylene glycol. And now for Systane, it's the usual Systane stuff (PEG and prop glycol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a Systane fan, I encourage you to try Systane Hydration, since you're already used to the basic ingredients and this would give you the benefit of the HA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm very happy to see more and more preservative-free multi-dose bottles on the US market, though they are still uncommon and there is not a lot of awareness about them. These bottles are more economical than vials as well as more environmentally friendly. The one downside is that they are a little harder to use. For most of us, not a problem, just a matter of getting used to. But for arthritic hands, it can be a more serious problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm amazed at how much strongly positive feedback I've had about this drop in the short time since it was launched. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eManufacturer's description\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew SYSTANE® HYDRATION Multi-Dose Preservative-Free eye drops help restore moisture to dry eyes with the soothing relief of HydroBoost technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrug Facts\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolyethylene Glycol 400 0.4%\u003cbr\u003ePropylene Glycol  0.3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor use as a protectant against further irritation or to relieve dryness of the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor external use only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eif this product changes color or becomes cloudy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eif you are sensitive to any ingredient in this product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen using this product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edo not touch tip of container to any surface to avoid contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereplace cap after each use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStop use and ask a doctor if you experience any of the following:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeye pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003echanges in vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econtinued redness or irritation of the eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econdition worsens or persists for more than 72 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Keep out of reach of children.

Most HA drops in the US currently have glycerin, with the exception of Systane Hydration, which has the usual Systane suspects (polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol). So using povidone as the active is a new thing in the HA drop world.  Povidone tends to be thought of as rather 'old school' for a lubricant drop.

However, not all HA is equal. The higher the molecular weight, the better - and the more expensive. Very few HA drops have high molecular weight HA (like, currently, only Oasis and Optase brands, as far as I know). We think - though we don't know for a fact - that Ivizia does not have high molecular weight HA, which might make it less useful than it could be for people with severe symptoms. Personally, I think that's a perfectly fair tradeoff for getting this product on the US market at all *AND* getting it on the market cheap! Considering the combination of ingredients and the terrific bottle, I think of this product as a great deal, and I love the fact that it has two sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTREHALOSE:\u003c\/strong\u003e I don't have the technical knowledge to explain why this is 'good stuff', but there's definitely a reason why it's been creeping into more and more US drops.

It's low-to-medium viscosity, i.e. not very thick, but not super thin either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonally, my trial of it won't be helpful to you because I really don't get along with PEG drops in general. I tried this one at different times of day\/night and different states of dryness and every time, it made me more uncomfortable. For me, it doesn't have that super-smooth gliding kind of feeling that I look for and it's not the right viscosity for me. Don't read anything into that though. I don't care for Starbucks coffee either :) Eye drops are a very individual thing. I may dislike what you like and like what you dislike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of the lipid, this was a good move on Bausch's part. Most major lubricant eye drop brands in the US have one or more drops with lipids at this point. Lipid-based eye drops are very marketable because people believe the lipid can replace the natural oils that may be missing for people who have MGD. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor context, here are lubricant eye drops with lipids:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefresh brand: Refresh Optive Advanced and Refresh Digital have castor oil, Refresh Optive MEGA-3 has castor oil and flaxseed oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystane brand: Systane Balance, Systane Complete and Systane Pro have phospholipids and mineral oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetaine: Retaine MGD Advanced has mineral oil and light mineral oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptase brand: Optase MGD Advanced has sacha inchi seed oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRohto (preserved only) Rohto Dry Aid has castor oil and sesame oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlink Triple Care has both a lipid \u003cstrong\u003eand\u003c\/strong\u003e HA (hyaluronate) though - so, technically, that puts them in the same category as Systane Pro and Optase MGD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have to say I'm kind of puzzled about the Blink brand drops right now. There are two distinct families within the Blink brand, based on \"official\" active ingredients. First, there's the PEG-based drops (Blink, Blink GelTears and Blink Triple Care) and then there's the more recently launched glycerin-based PF-only drops (Blink Boost and Blink Nourish). However, Bausch has surprisingly discontinued the original Blink Tears PF and also the very new Blink Nourish.
