The active ingredient in Iheezo is Chloroprocaine Ophthalmic Gel. Chloroprocaine Ophthalmic Gel belongs to the class of medication called ocular anesthesia. It works by numbing the nerves and making them less sensitive to pain. As a result, this allows the doctor to examine the eyes without feeling pain or discomfort.
