Miebo Eye Drops Information

Miebo (Perfluorohexyloctane) is a prescription eye drops used to treat people with the signs and symptoms of dry eye. Dry eye disease (DED) is a condition with problems associated with tear production, and as a result, the eye(s) cannot produce enough lubrication/tears. Miebo eye drops effectively treat dry eye disease by preventing excessive tear evaporation. The active ingredient in Miebo is Perfluorohexyloctane. Perfluorohexyloctane belongs to the class of medication called semifluorinated alkane ophthalmic agent. It forms an anti-evaporative layer, stabilizing the tear film on the eye's surface. It stops the tears from evaporating and prevents the drying of the eyes. Miebo eye drops prevent burning, irritation, and discomfort associated with dry eyes.
