The journey of ultrasonic eye sprays—once bulky medical devices—into consumer products reveals five pivotal innovations:
Timeline of Disruption:
2015: First portable prototypes (size of a soda can).
2018: FDA approves first drug-delivering ultrasonic spray (for glaucoma).
2021: Cosmetic brands adopt tech for caffeine/peptide sprays.
2023: Smart sprays debut with moisture-sensing auto-misting.
2025: Biodegradable single-use versions expected.
Market Impact:
Clinical Sector: 60% of US dry eye clinics now use ultrasonic.
Consumer Adoption: Gen Z prefers sprays 4:1 over drops (TikTok influence).
Final Thought:
"What started as a niche solution for astronauts is now in every influencer’s purse—proof that the best health tech disappears into daily life."
