FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS Menu News About Us Contact Us THE THÉA STORY Estab­lished in the UK in 2008, Théa Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals is built around 3 cen­tral pil­lars which form the foun­da­tion of our spir­it and suc­cess: inno­va­tion, edu­ca­tion and pro­fes­sion­al­ism. Our growth and suc­cess fol­lows a series of excit­ing prod­uct launch­es and acqui­si­tions mean­ing we now offer over 30 prod­ucts across a wide range of key ther­a­py areas serv­ing the com­plex needs of eye health professionals. Over 10 years of outstanding ophthalmology in the UK Ini­tial­ly in the UK Théa focused on the areas of Dry Eye, lid hygiene and eye nutri­tion but now offers an exten­sive prod­uct range to include aller­gy, anti-inflam­ma­to­ry, glau­co­ma, infec­tion, surgery and optometry. The com­pa­ny was amongst the first to intro­duce preser­v­a­tive-free eye drops, due to the well-known issues caused by such ingre­di­ents in oph­thal­mol­o­gy prod­ucts, most com­mon­ly Ben­za­lko­ni­um Chlo­ride (BAK). Théa works close­ly with the oph­thal­mol­o­gy depart­ments in numer­ous UK hos­pi­tals to devel­op high qual­i­ty solutions. Focused on innovation and education Over the last decade, the com­pa­ny has grown from just five staff to a team of over 50 work­ing across three Busi­ness Units: Con­sumer, Med­ical and Sur­gi­cal. Théa is locat­ed in the IC5 build­ing at Keele Uni­ver­si­ty Sci­ence and Inno­va­tion Park and plans to expand even fur­ther over the com­ing years with the goal of becom­ing the lead­ing oph­thalmic sup­pli­er in the UK. Guid­ed by three strate­gic pil­lars: “Dri­ving Inno­va­tion, Edu­ca­tion and Pro­fes­sion­al­ism in improv­ing Eye Health”, Théa con­tin­ues to invest heav­i­ly in education. This is demon­strat­ed by our award-win­ning ‘Dry Eye Project’ (replaced by the Théa Eye Health Con­fer­ence); the pres­ti­gious Moor­fields Inter­na­tion­al Glau­co­ma Sym­po­sium; and Théa Birm­ing­ham Corneal Meet­ing, launched in 2015. Théa Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing oph­thalmic pro­fes­sion­als and to hav­ing a pos­i­tive impact on the eye health of all those who use our prod­ucts as inspired by our glob­al par­ent com­pa­ny.

THÉA GLOBAL The Théa Approach Théa have been pio­neers in oph­thal­mol­o­gy for 150 years, spe­cial­is­ing in preser­v­a­tive-free for­mu­la­tions and inno­v­a­tive deliv­ery sys­tems. We are com­mit­ted to mak­ing preser­v­a­tive-free prod­ucts acces­si­ble and cost-effec­tive for patients and the NHS and aim to invest in edu­ca­tion­al pro­grammes to ben­e­fit both health­care pro­fes­sion­als and patients. Théa invent­ed the first mul­ti-dose bot­tle capa­ble of dis­pens­ing preser­v­a­tive-free eye drops: the ABAK® bot­tle. The ABAK® bot­tle is a high-secu­ri­ty, high-tech­nol­o­gy dis­penser which deliv­ers up to 300 drops through a fil­ter which pre­vents micro­bial con­t­a­m­i­na­tion. Con­tin­u­al inno­va­tions have made it small­er, more user-friend­ly and more effec­tive. The con­tents can now be used for up to 3 months after open­ing as opposed to between 2 and 4 weeks for a clas­si­cal pre­served mul­ti-dose bot­tle. Pro­tect­ed by patents, the design has been specif­i­cal­ly cre­at­ed so that patients with weak­er hand strength can instill drops; — it requires only 1⁄3 of the strength need­ed by oth­er bot­tles.1 Con­nor, AJ & Sev­ern, PS.
