What is Miebo?

Miebo is a prescription eye drop used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

Miebo works to treat dry eye disease by preventing excessive tear evaporation.

Miebo contains perfluorohexyloctane, a semifluorinated alkane that works to stabilize the tear film on the surface of the eye, stopping the tears from evaporating and preventing drying of the eyes.

It is not known if this medicine is safe and effective in children under the age of 18.

What is Miebo used to treat?

Miebo is used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED).

Dry eye disease occurs when the eyes don’t make enough tears to stay lubricated, or when the tears don’t work correctly due to an imbalance in the tear lipid layer.

One of the most common causes of dry eye disease is excessive tear evaporation, which can be caused by a dysfunction of the Meibomian glands. Meibomian glands are oil glands along the edge of the eyelids where the eyelashes are found. They produce an oil that is an important part of the tear film, and it is what stops the tears from evaporating too quickly.

When the tears evaporate too quickly, the eyes become dry and inflamed, eventually causing damage to the surface of the eye.

Miebo works to stop dry eyes by preventing excessive evaporation of the tear film.

How should I take Miebo

Use this medicine exactly as prescribed.

The recommended dosage is one drop to be instilled into each eye four times daily.

Remove contact lenses before using the drops and wait for at least 30 minutes before reinserting.

Administration Instructions

Step 1. Remove the cap from eye drop bottle.

Step 2. Holding the bottle upright, gently squeeze the bottle.

Step 3. While squeezing, turn the bottle upside down and release the pressure (drawing air into the bottle).

Step 4. Keeping the bottle upside down, place the bottle above your eye and squeeze it again to release a drop into your eye.

Repeat steps 1 - 4 for the second affected eye.
