iVIZIA Lubricant Eye Gel for Severe and Nighttime Dry Eye Relief, Preservative-Free, Moisturizing, 30 Sterile Single-Use Vials Packaging May Vary

These are the only drops that I have been able to tolerate for my dry eyes at night. All other drops cause my eyelids to sting because the skin is so inflamed and irritated. These still cause some stinging but much more mild and I am able to go back to sleep easier. They feel great on my eyeballs themselves it is just the skin below my lash line that stings. Below is more information on how I use them and my condition.A Path to Comfort:1 – find an eye doctor that understands that blepharitis is an issue of both the skin and the eye. Unfamiliar doctors brush it off and just prescribe you antibiotic ointments or they tell you that it is permanent and there is not much you can do except compresses.2 – a doctor can prescribe a steroid to maintain sanity shorterm and immediately slow or stop damage continuing to your meibomian glands/eye. Prolonged use of steroids will lead to macular degeneration and/or thinning of the skin. Tapering off a steroid is no joke. 2 drops to 1 drop to no drops in the span of a month is way too fast in my experience.3 - Patience is key, find ways to help focus your mind and cut yourself slack in typical responsibilities. There are councilors that help people develop methods to deal with chronic pain.4 – Test eliminating common allergy foods, even if you never had an allergy in your life, if you find that your sleep / gastrointestinal issues / eyes improve within a few days it is very likely you are onto something. Because so many allergic foods are disguised in “Natural Flavors” or natural preservatives try eating only single ingredient foods if you can that don’t require special preparation or sauces.5 – be careful to understand whether hot or cold compresses are best for your condition. This is the most basic care and often seems misguided. Is the issue softening gland blockages or reducing inflammation (that is in turn blocking glands)?Suspected Causes in my case – in no particular order-High Amounts of Stress, Hot Sauce addiction, Food Allergies/Intolerances, Poor care of eyes with overuse of contact lenses, Frequent video calls / not blinking enoughDescription of Blepharitis Symptoms when they were at their worst-red, inflamed, swollen, and eye lids, skin would peal and flake like eczema from the swelling-Very small red bumpy spots on lid margins and on inside of lids referred to as “cobblestone-ing”-wanted to claw my eyes out from itchy and burning sensations, dryness would bother the most in the evening and at night, when swollen lids did not allow eyes to close completely-Had a hard time concentrating on tasks, would have to close my eyes, think about what I was going to do and then just focus on one thing at a time. Thought I might not be able to keep working, or at least not in a demanding job.-white of eyeball was red at inside corner-2mm bump on lower eyelid below lash line that was clear/not red except when a red dot would form almost like a tiny scab that could not be picked. The bump did not hurt. When my eyes were at their worst this would form in the same spot, as it would start to go away the red dot would appear and it would slowly start to deflate and eventually go away completely-A few white spots formed over glands from clogging at different timesEye & Body Care Routine Timeline: 2 years and counting (these are not recommendations but a snapshot of my process and how it evolved, I only detail the eye routine at the beginning and where I’m at now0 – Poor Doctor Guidance (6-8 months) hot compresses 4 times a day, baby shampoo eye washes, eyes getting progressively worse1 – Good Doctor Steroid & Taper (3-4 months)- cold compresses on eyes for 20 mins 4 times a day. Closing eyes as much as possible, tried to do work on paper rather that computer whenever I could. Was able to manage after tapering off steroid but still had redness, dry eyes at night, and peeling skin. Noticed the less I ate the better I felt. AMMorning shower – let cool/medium temp water wet lids with eyes closed, do normal shower routine, then toward end very gently use pads of middle or index finger to massage lash line in circular motion. Careful to not touch part of lid above lash line closest to your eye. For top lid I close eyes and use a gentle sweeping motion from top of eye down to lid and then do a couple side to side movements. You can feel little bits of skin come off on your fingertips. The better my eyes get the less skin sloughs off. Even when my eyes were bad this didn’t hurt but often felt good like itching and itch, so had to be careful not to rub too much.Pataday Eye Drops – 1 drop per eye (no sting in eyes – inflamed lids may sting a bit but this is generally soothing) As it dries will be a bit stickyZocushield – after eyes had dried a bit from finishing morning routine, squeeze 3mm drop of Zocushield onto fingertip and press two finger tips together to then distribute over lids and lashline keeping eyes closed. When lids are bad this will sting a bit and you can feel the heat of inflammation on your lids.Night – Ivizia eye drops as needed, these drops stung the least on my red lids.General – cool towel or jade eye mask at intervals during the day as needed to reduce inflammation2 Allergy Phase – (6 months) eye doc suggested seeing allergist. Soy & tree nut allergy. Huge eye improvement and no more diarrhea after avoiding soy. Stopped binging on my favorite Mexican food and hot sauce. Sad face.3 Gut Health (6 months) – noticed if I avoided fresh vegetables and certain foods my eyes improved more. Still needed eye drops at night. Regularly thought I was healed and would then be disappointed again with flare ups after eating at restaurants or drinking alcohol. Started loosely following low FODMAP diet and saw improvements in eyes. Lower abdominal pain at night – colonoscopy did not show any issues.4 Rediscovering Allergies (4 months)– thought if I could eliminate soy entirely from toothpaste, the feed that animals are given (soy and corn free eggs), etc, etc, my eyes would improve, they did, but not entirely. Started noticing an itchy eye reaction from eating a banana or other foods within 15mins to hour.. Went back to allergist and a new allergist. Vastly different interpretations of the same test. Outcome – new allergist said I didn’t have any allergies but might have SIBO.5 Rediscovering Gut Health (6 months – ongoing) Started seeing integrative medicine doc. Tested positive for SIBO and may have histamine intolerance, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. What I can eat: corn & soy free eggs, 100% grass fed and finished beef and beef liver, blanched swiss chard and kale, blueberries, A2 soy free cream, white rice, white potatoes, mild organic coffee, fresh wild caught sashimi, coconut oil, avocado oil, wild caught salmon cooked. Eye routine: rinse eyes in am shower, light fingertip massage, no more drops. Left eye appears to have completely healed, right eye has light pink zone and some flakiness on portion of lower lid. No more eye drops. No more fatigue, little to no dryness at night. The saga continues to expand my diet without my eyes reacting.I hope this helps someone else find comfort much sooner than it took me.Things I’ve tried when my eyes were at their worst that helped with caveats:Glass Eye cup – body temperature warm water with salt. When my eyes were at their worst I did develop a white stye on one of my lower lid glands. After holding warm salt water to my eye and blinking for 10 seconds and repeating this 3 more times the stye was gone. This excitement then led to me trying this 4 times a day instead of my hot compresses (which were just adding to my inflammation) this was not good. My eyelids became extremely irritated and I never did again use this method but think it could help people with more stye issues with caution and moderation.Manuka honey – medical grade eye drops or gel. Stung like crazy to start but redness and irritation would subside for the day. Eyes were back to where they started the next day.

My eye doctor switched me to this brand. I have severe dry eyes and when I sleep my eyes do not close completely. This is a good product pleased with results. But due to my issues one treatment before bed does not carry me through the night without having to add more drops. This is not the gel form, I do not care for that consistency and I have tried several brands and they all tend to make my eyes itchy. Will continue to use this, do not feel the product is the problem, it is me.

I have been dealing with dry eyes for a few years now, up to the point where I can’t wear contacts for very long.These brand of eyes drops have been great. With an application at night and along with daily use/with contacts, my eyes have felt really good. Relief lasts a long time.

I have a mild case of dry eyes (MGD) and have tried several different drops for both day time (my favorite so far for day use are the Refresh Optive Mega 3 drops), and night time. For the latter I've been using these iVIZIA Eye Gel drops for a week or two and really like them so far. Like other gel drops they're pretty thick so may blur your vision slightly for a brief time after using them, but it's not really an issue - especially if used right before bed. They a very comfortable after applying and my eyes still feel good when I wake up in the morning. The drops do dry out a bit during the night so my lids sometimes seem sort of sealed shut, but again I don't find this to be an issue. The only reason for a 4 star vs 5 review is that the drops are kind of spendy and the quantity in each vial seems skimpy. It is enough for one dose, but little more than that. To be fair, my understanding is they only want you use a vial once and then throw it away, and not try to use for two nights. The drops are preservative free so I assume that using a vial only once should eliminate any concerns with bacterial growth. Recommended.

Love this eye drop! I have very dry eyes and it is the only drop I’ve found that works at night.

I had cataract surgery and one eye was just always feeling like something in my eye. Eye doctor gave me a sample and I love how much better my eye feels.

I tried the Ivizia drops when they were in a bottle, and found they were more effective than some of the more popular name brands. Yes, the original bottle was a little tricky to use and I had the feeling it stopped dispensing before all the product was used up, but I was considering another purchase... and then it disappeared from Amazon.. I decided to give the newly repackaged version a try.Note that the active ingredient and its amount is exactly the same as in the earlier bottled version. The gel (inactive ingredients) may be a little thicker now, hence the change in labeling/marketing for use "Severe/night dry eye use." I've been using this vial-based product for about two weeks now.I'm finding the new packaging in individual vials is at least as difficult to use than the bottle! During the first four days I used the vials, there were two days I was only able to get ONE drop out of the vial. I can see there's more product remaining, but I couldn't get it out. My hands are not super-strong, but I don't think I'm in the extremely weak category either, and I bet a large segment of your market are older folks and women.As time goes by, I'm getting more effective as getting at least one drop, sometimes two, out per eye, using one vial for both eyes. I use it once per day, at night. I still find the product quite effective, but I'm not sure I'll re-buy if I can find another comparably effective product : Expensive per drop, can be frustrating to use, likely generating more plastic waste than a single bottle, too.

Keeps dry eyes moist overnight & Preservative Free.
