Our Patients buy TheaHyabak as it exceeds expectations for both dry eyes & contact lens irritation
As of June 2025 "Hyabak" has been renamed "TheaHyabak" with a slight formulation change. If you have used Hyabak in the past, you should expect no difference in performance of this very well-tolerated and popular lubrication eye drop.
TheaHyabak Details:
- Hydration, bioprotection, and regeneration of the eye’s surface with 0.15% Sodium Hyaluronate
- No preservatives or phosphates
- Increases tear film thickness
- Reduces dry eye symptoms and damage to the eye’s surface
- Hypotonic solution, formulated to match the natural viscosity of tears
- Hypotonic solutions have been shown to offer greater improvements than isotonic solutions
- TheaHyabak also for its suitability for use with contact lenses
There are no silver bullets, this - nor any - drop not the answer for all forms of dry eye for all people. Please see more information- Dry Eye blogs, Digital Eye Strain Blogs , Blepharitis Blogs and speak to your eye care professional about the correct dry eye therapy for you.
Best Synthetic Eye Drop?
The best Artificial Tear / Synthetic Tear for dry eye for you is a tough question to answer without background information. It is irresponsible for brands to make a claim to this title because drops are so different in their functions... or sometimes the best dry eye treatment is not a drop at all. See our BLOG for lots more information
As a point of more of interest vs. science... Analyzing recommendations post work-ups... our primary care Optometry practice recommends TheaHyabak/Hyabak more that any other drop.
Buy for longer no preservatives but longer shelf life
The special, filtered Thea bottle allows for the drop to be non-preserved. This means that it is very gentle to the ocular surface and can be used many times a day if required. The Thea bottle also has a long shelf life of 180 days once opened. This is 6 times longer than a standard bottles' shelf life. Find more information on this here.
Each Thea bottle has ~300 drops. In-clinic, I typically recommend 2x/day so that is over ~4 months of relief.
