    Description (Rebecca's)

    November, 2022

    Ivizia products are a new brand name in the US as of 2022. They are made by Thea Pharmaceuticals. They're being advertised quite widely and are available in drugstores, so chances are you've come across them (at least the drops) by now.

    This gel is too thick for a multi-dose bottle, so it's in single-use vials. But don't forget to check out Ivizia Lubricant Eye Drops - they're in a particularly good multi-dose bottle and come in two sizes.Ivizia is a slightly modified version of Thealoz Duo, a very popular European product.

    There are several things to like about the Ivizia line of drops/gel:

    1. Preservative-free eye drop brand

    Ivizia brand eye drops are preservative-free. I really appreciate this feature. When a brand is PF, you don't have to stop and think, you don't have to hunt and label-read quite as carefully. Most major US brands, by contrast, have both preserved and unpreserved versions of the very same product. That might be fine for people who are "preservative-savvy" - they know how to tell them apart easily. But it puts many people at risk of preservative exposure without knowing anything about the issue.


    2. Ingredients 

    POVIDONE: The reason povidone is in this product is because the FDA will not let companies list sodium hyaluronate as an active ingredient, so European companies who are bringing their HA drops to the US are having to reformulate them and add something else. 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. Personally, though, I've always been a fan. 

    SODIUM HYALURONATE: As you know if you've read anything I've written about eye drops, I'm a big sodium hyaluronate (HA) fan. However, not all HA is equal. The higher the molecular weight, the better - and the more expensive. While Ivizia gel is about as thick as other "liquigel" type products that are in single-use vials, we don't think it has the higher molecular weight HA, so it remains to be seen how it will compare (for overnight use) to the known higher molecular weight ones (Oasis Tears Plus and Optase Dry Eye Intense, in particular). Make sure to post your experience in the reviews or shoot us an email!

    CARBOMER: Increased viscosity.

    TREHALOSE: 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. This is a key feature of Thealoz Duo (3%, in fact, though I don't know how much of it is in Ivizia).

    Description

    YOUR DRY EYES DESERVE BETTER: iVIZIA For Dry Eyes

    • Scientifically formulated to relieve dryness, discomfort, and strain from dry eyes.
    • Unique formula made with hydrating polymers that form a protective matrix over your eyes, moisturizing hyaluronic acid, and revitalizing trehalose.
    • Preservative-free bottle; consistently dispenses drop by drop (does not stream).
    • Safe with contact lenses.†
    • From the makers of the #1 doctor prescribed* dry eye brand in Europe.


    HOW DOES iVIZIA WORK?

    POVIDONE (active ingredient) - A hydrating polymer that significantly decreases dry eye discomfort. Hydrating polymers form a protective matrix over the eye.

    HYALURONIC ACID "HA" (enhancer) - Also called sodium hyaluronate is widely used and well known in skin care and eye care. One of the most water-loving molecules in nature, it can be described as "nature’s moisturizer". It can bind 1000 times its weight in water.

    TREHALOSE (enhancer) - Trehalose is a bioprotectant that can be found in nature. It is a disaccharide synthetized by plants such as the Rose of Jericho, as a response to stress (dryness, osmopressure, freezing). Trehalose is extracted from starch in a large-scale enzymatic process.

    Works for Nighttime

    For me, this is a suitable replacement for the European eye gel that has become unavailable. I cannot tolerate ointments. For a long time I used Genteal Severe Dry Eye Gel, but it now irritates my eyes.

    I use 1 1/2 vials of the Ivizia in each eye and gently cover with cling wrap. I make sure the cling wrap stays put by taping with Nexcare Sensitive Skin Tape. My eyes don't close at night, and I have an incomplete blink and congenital lack of tears.

    In the morning I use preservative free drops. No matter what my regimen is, it takes my eyes about 1/2 hour to "wake up" and for me to have reasonably clear vision.

    I wish the vials contained more gel.

    Helps keep sclerals clear longer

    I use a few drops of these into my sclerals, top off with saline before insertion: I can wear the lenses longer

    before they get cloudy and need to be cleaned (these drops are more comfortable for me than Celluvisc).

    Review of Ivizia Lubricant Eye Gel for Severe/Night Dry Eyes

    I purchased this product was for use at night (during sleep) for dry eyes. It works fine as an eye drop during the day, but did nothing for me overnight, as my eyes teared all night long when using this gel...like they do if I don't use any product. I can still use them during the day, but will go back to using an ointment at night.

    Another game-changer

    I really love these drops. They are thick enough to provide significant relief when my symptoms flare. But they don't blur my vision. They go with me everywhere.
