Miebo (generic name: perfluorohexyloctane ) is also sold under the brand name Hycosan Shield. It is a specially formulated eye drop designed to treat the symptoms of evaporative dry eye disease.
There are two main causes of dry eye disease:
Perfluorohexyloctane is a unique, water-free, and preservative-free liquid, designed specifically to address evaporative dry eye. It provides a novel approach compared to traditional artificial tears when addressing evaporative eye disease. By forming a protective layer, Miebo helps stabilize the tear film. This provides lasting relief from discomfort.
Miebo works by directly limiting tear evaporation from the eye’s surface. The natural tear film has an oily layer on top that prevents the water content from evaporating too quickly. In many people with dry eye disease, this layer is deficient. Miebo’s active ingredient spreads in a thin film across the eye. It acts as a protective shield, mimicking the natural oily layer. This action significantly reduces tear evaporation, keeping the eyes moist and comfortable for longer.
Miebo is for adults diagnosed with dry eye disease, particularly when caused by excessive tear evaporation. It is a recommended option for patients who experience symptoms like grittiness, burning, and redness. Symptoms may be worse in dry seasons or after long hours of screen use. People who have tried standard artificial tears without success have reported that Miebo provides the relief they needed. It should not be used in children under the age of 18 without a doctor’s approval.
Miebo is typically administered by instilling one drop into each affected eye four times per day. First, wash your hands before using the eye drops. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Place the dropper directly over the eye and squeeze one drop in. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination. If you wear contact lenses, you must remove them before using Miebo. Wait at least 30 minutes after using the drops before reinserting your lenses.
Miebo is generally well-tolerated, but some side effects can occur. The most commonly reported side effects are temporary blurred vision and eye redness immediately after application. These effects usually clear up within a few minutes. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Serious side effects are rare. Stop using Miebo and seek medical help if you experience eye pain, persistent changes in vision, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Miebo can provide symptom relief very quickly after the first use. The unique formula starts working immediately to prevent tear evaporation. Consistent daily use as directed by your doctor is key to achieving the full, long-term benefits and managing your dry eye symptoms effectively.
Miebo can generally be used with other eye drops, but you should wait at least 15 minutes between applications. This prevents one drop from washing out the other. Always apply Miebo last, as its protective layer can block other medications from being absorbed properly.
Miebo is not a cure for the underlying causes of dry eye disease. It is a highly effective treatment that manages the symptoms by preventing tear evaporation. It provides significant relief from discomfort, but it does not resolve the root cause of the condition.
If you miss a dose of Miebo, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, you should skip the missed one. Simply return to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane) is approved as a prescription medication in the United States, but can be sold over-the-counter in some other countries. US-based customers will need a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it from IsraelPharm. Always consult a doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.
Miebo should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly capped when not in use. Do not store it in a bathroom where humidity is high. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.
Miebo should not be applied while you are wearing contact lenses. You must remove your lenses before administering the drops. It is recommended to wait for at least 30 minutes after using Miebo before you put your contact lenses back in your eyes.
Yes, Miebo is a preservative-free eye drop solution. This makes it a suitable option for individuals who have sensitivities or allergies to the preservatives commonly found in other multi-dose eye drop products. Its single-ingredient formula is gentle on the eye surface.
Miebo works differently than most artificial tears, which primarily add moisture. Miebo contains perfluorohexyloctane and is water-free; it works by creating a barrier to prevent your natural tears from evaporating. This directly addresses evaporative dry eye, offering a longer-lasting effect for many users.
Miebo may cause temporary blurred vision immediately after you put the drops in your eyes. This is a common and expected side effect that should only last for a few minutes. If you experience prolonged blurry vision, you should stop using the drops and consult your doctor.
Since Miebo can cause temporary blurred vision, you should wait until your vision clears before driving or operating heavy machinery. This effect is usually brief, but it is important to ensure your vision has fully returned to normal to guarantee your safety.
To prevent contamination, Miebo's dropper tip should never touch your eye, fingers, or any other surface. If the tip becomes dirty, you risk introducing bacteria into your eye, which could cause an infection. It is best to discard the bottle and open a new one if you suspect contamination.
