NEW TheraTears Dry Eye Therapy 10mL – Preservative-Free Eye Drops

Long-lasting hydration and soothing relief for dry, tired and irritated eyes.

TheraTears Dry Eye Therapy is a preservative-free lubricating eye drop containing 0.1% cross-linked hyaluronic acid, designed to provide sustained hydration and relief from mild to moderate dry eye symptoms.

Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid formulations, TheraTears uses cross-linked sodium hyaluronate to form a lubricating hydrogel on the ocular surface. This helps retain moisture, reduce friction during blinking and support a more comfortable tear film.

Gentle enough for sensitive eyes and suitable for use with contact lenses, TheraTears is a convenient everyday option for dryness associated with screen use, air conditioning, environmental exposure and contact lens wear.

Key Benefits

• Cross-linked hyaluronic acid (0.1%): Forms a lubricating hydrogel designed to retain moisture on the eye's surface.
• Sustained hydration: Helps relieve dry, gritty, irritated and tired-feeling eyes.
• Preservative-free: Suitable for sensitive eyes and regular use.
• Contact lens friendly: Compatible with contact lenses and can be used while lenses are in place.
• Everyday dry eye relief: Particularly suited to mild to moderate dry eye symptoms.
• Convenient 10mL bottle: Approximately 250 drops, with a 180-day period of use after opening.

What Makes Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid Different?

Hyaluronic acid is widely used in lubricating eye drops because of its ability to bind water, support tear film hydration and reduce friction between the eyelids and ocular surface.

TheraTears contains cross-linked sodium hyaluronate, in which hyaluronic acid molecules are connected to create a more structured, gel-like network.

This hydrogel technology is designed to improve moisture retention and support sustained lubrication, helping the eyes feel hydrated and comfortable.

How long does a bottle of TheraTears last?

TheraTears Dry Eye Therapy comes in a 10mL bottle containing approximately 250 drops. The bottle can be used for up to 180 days (6 months) after opening, provided it is stored and handled according to the manufacturer's instructions.

How long one bottle lasts depends on how frequently you use the drops. For example, using one drop in each eye twice daily gives approximately 62 days of use.

Why We Recommend TheraTears at Illume Eye Care

At Illume, we know that not all dry eyes are the same and finding the right eye drop depends on what's contributing to your symptoms.

TheraTears provides a preservative-free, cross-linked hyaluronic acid formulation that can be a useful option for improving tear film hydration and everyday comfort, including for contact lens wearers.

However, lubricating drops help relieve symptoms rather than necessarily treating the underlying causes of dry eye disease, such as meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation or reduced tear production.

If you find yourself regularly reaching for eye drops without lasting relief, our advanced dry eye clinic in Ponsonby, Auckland can assess your tear film, meibomian glands and ocular surface to help identify the most appropriate treatment for your eyes.
