"I love Miebo! I have chronic dry eyes, and it's the only thing that works for me. I wish I could get a bottle to last an entire month. The pharmacy and the manufacturer both state that it should. I'm extremely careful with the drops, but it still only lasts about three weeks. I'm just curious if anyone else has the same issue."

"While Miebo does help my dry eye disease, the dropper is wasteful. I have been putting drops in my eyes for years, but with this product, I end up with a lot running down my face. I tried a Nanodropper, but the threads aren't compatible."

"I love the relief I experienced with Miebo. However, the one-month supply lasted only 2 weeks. I followed the directions explicitly, and the dropper bottle expelled too much, often running across my eye and cheek. I called Miebo at Blink Pharmacy and explained this along with a follow-up complaint. I am sending back the bottle to the company as they requested. There may be a possible defect with the bottle design. A better bottle design would help, such as a larger bottle size."

"Miebo drops really do work. I tried Restasis, but it was not effective. The only problem with Miebo is that the bottle is very small, and in no way can you have one bottle used 4 times a day last for a month. So, I use it with Tyrvaya, and all is well. Tryvaya morning and night, Miebo noon and dinner time. And the icing on the cake is that I got my insurance company to cover it! Would rate it a 10 if they used a larger bottle to cover the 4X daily recommendation for 1 month."

"Way better than anything else. Tiny drops are difficult to get in your eye and not on your nose. Bottle is very tiny. The trick: Lie down supine. Close opposite eye and hold other eyelids open or pull down on lower eyelid. Then invert bottle slowly and hold tip looking exactly at it, very close. One drop will fall in the eye. Repeat on the opposite side. Downside... very, very, very expensive!"

"I've got to say this is a step up in treating dry eyes. Been using it now for over 6 months. Restasis and other drops have helped, but never took that sandy feeling away until using this. However, the bottle droplet is just a horrible design. I would love to continue using this eye drop. I just received a notification that my insurance will no longer cover this after May. Finally got something that works, and the insurance company decides to drop it. The cost of this stuff is just too much without insurance. It gets a (10) for effectiveness. I give it (3) for cost and poor bottle design."

"I'm a 76-year-old male who was prescribed Miebo to supplement a regimen of over-the-counter eye drops due to dry eyes. The drug is almost impossible to use due to B+L's statement that the application should be a 'nano' drop, which I can't see when I try to apply it to my eye. I've had two conversations with B&L; they acknowledge that they've had multiple complaints about this, but they offer no solution. Therefore, the drug is not useful, and I cannot recommend it."

"I have been using Miebo for dry eye disease for 2 months. This drug is a game changer for me. I was on Restasis for 10 years and still had dry eyes. I tried every new drop that came on the market but still had dry eyes. I used warm compresses and Omega-3s and still had dry eyes. My cornea specialist said I have hardly any oil in my glands and although I had tears they dried up in 2 seconds. When I saw Miebo was approved, I was excited to try it. The price was offensive and without insurance covering it, I was not able to get it. After checking my insurance formulary list for about 6 months, it was finally covered. I won't be without it. It has helped so much I don't even think about dry eyes except when it's time for my drops. Only con I can see is it is oily and may make your eye makeup run, which is not a big deal. I highly recommend it."

"I have been using Miebo eye drops for a month. From the very first dose, I can only describe this drug as a miracle for my particular type of dry eye disease: meibomian gland dysfunction. The drops replace the missing natural oils that lubricate the eye surface. The design of the bottle could be better. Expelling the drops takes some skill as the drops are very tiny, you don't feel them going in, and you don't want to waste any, given the high out-of-pocket cost after insurance. I apply a drop to each eye, 3-4 times per day. The doctor says it's safe to use as frequently as needed. Side effect: minimal temporary blurriness. Immediate eye comfort. Gradual improvement in visual acuity. Worth every penny!"

"I’ve been using Miebo for 5 months. It has been a huge plus for my vision. I use it in conjunction with Xiidra. My vision was poor due to dry eye disease. Although Xiidra is helpful, the addition of Miebo has been excellent. I now have clear vision about 80% of the time. With Xiidra alone, my vision was clear about 50% of the time. While I’ve never seen this mentioned, I believe Miebo may accumulate over time, requiring a break for a day or so. The cost of these two meds is pretty high. I’m glad I can afford them. When competition allows a generic, this will be a lifesaver. I’d rate this 9/10 if it weren’t for the cost."

"I wanted to edit my previous review but unfortunately you can't. I was also skeptical as to whether the teeny bottle with 4 drops a day each eye would last a month, and it does. Absolutely lasted 30 days. The drops are micro drops. They are not big drops like other eye drops. My bottle lasted 33 days before I ran out. Just go slow and easy so you don't waste them."

"I have dry eye disease after Lasik eye surgery. I have been using several vials of OTC drops, steroid drops, and Xiidra daily for a year. After using Miebo, I can eliminate the OTC drops and steroid drops. It is so slick you can't even feel it go in. I use it four times a day. It is truly a game changer."

"I've been using Miebo for 7 weeks. It feels soft, like velvet is to skin. The drop spreads quickly, covering the entire exterior eye surface. I have not had extra fluid run down my face. I've read other reviews about Miebo, but the full reviews largely hint that the set-up instructions are not being followed. The bottle is small, but not more than other ophthalmic solutions. I think it's very important to follow the bottle dispensing steps."

"Eyes feel less dry for approx 3-4 hrs after each dose of 1 drop in each eye. One bottle lasts me 3 weeks using Miebo 3x a day. I don't know if that's normal, but it does make it cost more monthly or interrupt treatment if you can't obtain an early refill. Bausch and Lomb could improve the delivery system so drops aren't wasted. To me, it's expensive symptom relief, not curative for MGD."

"Works for me - much better than Restasis, Cequa, Xiidra, and Tryvava. I would have rated it 10/10 if there was enough solution in each bottle to last an entire month, which there isn’t. I use it only 3 times per day, but still runs out before the end of the month. It costs more than $700 per bottle without insurance."

"I have used Miebo for approximately 3 months now and it has been a game changer for me. I have meibomian gland dysfunction and have used a variety of other drops in the past including Xiidra for the past 2 years. I have experienced no side effects from Miebo and my eyes feel so much better. The only downside is the price as it is very costly. I am now able to eliminate OTC drops. I highly recommend these drops for severe dry eye relief."

"I have been using Miebo eye drops for one month. They do seem to be helping with the irritation caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. The drops feel like they are a bit oily and it feels good on the eyeball. It's a tiny bottle and a tiny drop that goes into the eye. The key to not waste the drop by missing the eye is to follow the directions on the leaflet by squeezing the bottle, turning it upside down, and releasing the air. You barely need to squeeze the bottle then (if at all) for a small drop to drop in your eye. If you squeeze too hard, you will get more than one drop. I just take my time and let gravity do the work. I still need to use my OTC eye drops for dry eye. Miebo is very expensive, but if you go to the Miebo website, there is a savings and support link, and with my insurance and their savings program, my drops cost $60 a month, and the first month was free. Try that!"

"My insurance won't cover it, but these are the best eye drops I have ever had. These are the first eye drops never to irritate my eyes and keep me from having chronically dry and red eyes. I'm no longer having blurry vision. I'm less sensitive to light. I hope my insurance will cover it in 2024 because I can tell I'll be going to the eye doctor less (aside from annual exams)."

"This is going rpto be a very weird comment. I used this for a week and it was great. But during that week, 2 days after I started, I got a lot of burping. Then, 3 days in, acid reflux. I continued another 2 days and got a fungus infection on the roof of my mouth. I've never had anything like this in my life and I’m 75. I had it for 4 months when on the medication, it took a while to clear, and now it’s back, never really totally went away."

"I love the product itself, but I think they need to rethink the applicator. I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten one total drop in my eye. I’ve tried everything that was recommended, but it seems as though most of it runs outside of my eye. Quite oily. Someone suggested lying down, but who can do that when you’re out and about? It’s difficult to remember four times daily, so I probably use it three. There has got to be a better way to put these drops into the eye where they belong. When they are in, they do help greatly, but I’ll still need to use a generic version of Restasis from my eye doctor's office. I quit it, thinking I’d be OK with just Miebo, but I find my eyes are very dry at times. I still use preservative-free tears, but was told they would break up the film coverage that Miebo creates. Lucky enough to get it through a program that gives me a lower cost because my insurance will not cover, and it’s very expensive without it."

"I've been using these for about a month and it's made a world of difference. Finally relief! I use 4 times a day per my doctor: when I wake up, lunch, dinner, and bedtime. For me, these worked. I also started using supplements due to menopause: Omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed, and staying hydrated. You can buy the supplements in bulk at Costco. All this together has made a world of difference."

"I am so grateful for the drops, as they are the only thing that gives me relief. My only complaint is the drops come out without squeezing the bottle when it is full, and you get more than one, therefore, I never have enough to last the month. The 3-4 days I go without are painful!"

"I have tried other medications, but nothing like Miebo. My dry eye condition is pretty bad, I feel like I have sandpaper, and my lacrimal secretion is less than 30%. But I like this medication, it makes a huge difference in my eyes. I can see better, and my eye stays hydrated all day long. The bad thing is my insurance won’t cover it, and I don’t use any other medications. Just sad, really."

"Miebo works for dry eye disease. The applicator design is a real problem. I am a licensed RN and have been using eye drops personally for years. I know what I am doing. It is almost impossible to get a drop directly into the eye. Every lost drop is a lost dose, and this drug is the most expensive of anything I am taking. Four applications per day and at least two lost drops."
