What are MIEBO® eye drops?
MIEBO® (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) is a prescription medication that comes in the form of eye drops.1 MIEBO® is an FDA-approved eye drop that is typically prescribed to adults to manage dry eye disease (DED).1, 2 The recommended dosage of MIEBO® is one drop in each eye four times daily.2
How do MIEBO® eye drops work?
MIEBO® eye drops create a protective layer on the eye’s surface, slowing the evaporation of natural tears. ¹ ² This helps keep the eyes moisturized and reduces discomfort caused by dryness.
MIEBO® specifically targets meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a common cause of dry eye disease. ³ These glands, located in the eyelids, produce an oil that prevents tears from evaporating too quickly. When they do not function properly, eyes become dry and irritated. By stabilizing the tear film, MIEBO® helps alleviate symptoms associated with MGD. ⁴
Benefits of MIEBO® eye drops
MIEBO® is the first FDA-approved prescription designed to slow tear evaporation, providing relief from dry eye disease (DED). ³ It is preservative-free and intended for long-term use. ⁵
