"Have been using Miebo for about 2 months and I am getting mixed results. I still can’t stand bright sunlight. My eyes are still dry some days. Wind is a big factor for me. One of my eyelids sticks sometimes. I was told maximum benefit comes after 2 months. Maybe I need to lower my expectations."

"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."

"I feel like it may help my chronic dry eye condition, however, the bottle is much too small, not user-friendly, and seems to be a lot of product waste, especially for the price, when our insurance company won’t cover it. I feel like I’m getting headaches from it, unfortunately. Wonder if it can be refrigerated?"

"While I like the drops and they help me a lot, I get upset every time I use them because they run out of the eyes no matter how I twist my neck to make them stay in. It is a pity to waste so much of this very expensive product!"

"I love Miebo. It totally corrects my dry eyes. I have a side effect that I wonder if anyone else experiences. Using Miebo causes a constant taste in my mouth. Luckily, it's not an unpleasant taste, but it causes my tongue to constantly be rubbing against my teeth and me sucking inside my mouth like I'm sucking on a piece of candy. This created the tip of my mouth to become sore, and I had to stop using Miebo for a few days."

"I've used Xiidra and cyclosporine for years with moderate success. Miebo made my eyes feel better in a few weeks. Too bad that they are so hard to use, the size of the drop is about 1/3 the size of other drops and makes it difficult to use. My first bottle (supposed to last 1 month) lasts 2 weeks. ($185 copay) $1,285.00 retail."

"I love Miebo, but the bottle is way too small. I run out before the month is over, and when I put it in my eyes it always runs down my face! You really need to make a bigger bottle that you can get a month's worth in your eyes, and change the bottle so the drops stay in your eyes."

"I just started the drops a week ago. I have started to see some improvement with my dry eyes. My issue is with the size and design of the bottle. There is no way this small amount will last 30 days. It is very difficult to dose 1 small drop out of this bottle. There is no room for error. Ease of use is poor!"

"I just started using Miebo today. I have had dry eye for so long, and there were no drops that were giving me any relief. I put the first drop in my eye, and it felt exactly like what I wanted it to feel like. It was like a gentle puff with immediate relief. Of course, then I put it in my other eye. I have taken three of the four doses, and I couldn't be more impressed with the immediate relief. There was absolutely no stinging and was only blurry for a few moments after I opened both eyes again. This is exactly the relief I have been looking for. Thank you so much!"

"I'm 74 years old, and my eye doctor was very concerned about the condition of my cornea and dry eyes, therefore, recommended Miebo. After using it for one month, my doctor was very happy with the results and said my cornea now looks normal. Side effects I had were eye redness and some blurry vision. I had absolutely no issues with putting the drops in my eyes four times a day, and the bottle did last about a month. My doctor wants me to stay on Miebo for another month but try using only three drops a day to possibly reduce redness and have another follow-up. The initial cost was expensive, but with my second bottle, the cost dropped 70% because of my drug coverage."

"Have had the same experience as many others - drops really work, but no way does that small bottle last as long as it should - only lasts about 1/2-2/3 of the time it is supposed to. Sometimes a big drop is dispensed and sometimes very little. When there is just a little left, nothing comes out at all. Am super careful following the directions, but never works to make it last. Miebo insists that the product is meant to last for the month. Not sure what planet they are broadcasting from!!!"

"I have tried many others, but Miebo is the only one for me. So perfect, and I love it. Only issue is the size of the bottle that is supposed to last 1 month. Using a drop four times a day as directed will simply not work for me. Being very careful and using it as directed, I can only get 17 days out of it. I am concerned that my pharmacy may not give me refills as I need them due to the manufacturer saying that it will last a month."

"Agree with others that the amount in the bottle is not enough for 4 applications per day for 1 month. It’s difficult to use per the instructions, and mine ran out with a week to go. Might try using only 3 times a day. Don’t know if it’s more important to use numerous times a day or for the full month."

"Agree with the others, the bottle is too small, and I’m terrible at giving myself eye drops, but I will tell you that it takes at least six weeks for it to actually work. But when it does, oh my gosh, what an amazing difference it has made!"

"I was using Restasis for 3 years. The worst medication I ever experienced with bad side effects as follows: watery eyes, itching, burning eyes, and face noise itching, and allergic reaction! I stopped Restasis, evil, after using it for 3 years. Doctor prescribed me Miebo eye drops. So far, pretty good! No more watery eyes, itching, burning eyes, and face & noise itching and allergy reaction, just a little bit blurry for 15 minutes only, then will be clear."

"After taking Miebo for 2 1/2 weeks, my eyes started to burn. Badly. That was yesterday, and today they’re still burning, but not as bad. Also, they feel swollen, although they are not. My eye doctor is calling me tomorrow about this. Maybe taking less?"

"I have ocular rosacea with severely dry eyes, and I have tried all the eye drops. I also work 10 hours on the computer as a software engineer. Miebo solved my constant suffering. I can now sit on the computer without constantly feeling like I need to take a break. Thank you so much! 9 out of 10 because the full dose is hard to drop in your eyes without it falling down on your nose."

"Not sure why everyone's complaining mainly about the delivery mechanics of the drops. Took me 2 days to get it right, and since then zero issues. Bottle lasts well over 30 days. Best of all, my eyes have not felt so great in years, and I can see better. Not bad for a 74-year-old."

"I’ve used Miebo for six months and consider it a miracle. My doctor addressed the application issue from the beginning and told me to just get ‘a bit’ in-and not to worry if ‘full drop’ didn’t get in. I used four times a day initially but have improved so much that morning and night applications now suffice. My vision has improved dramatically and grit is gone. I’m beyond grateful to be able to read again!"

"For people with MGD, this drug works well but is a temporary fix and you will need to buy the drug for the rest of your life. The problem is that the glands have closed up so oil can’t flow into your eyes and keep the tears on your eye. Find an ophthalmologist that does meibomian gland probing for about $800 per eyelid. It resolves the oil gland problem. That procedure with Restasis to treat my GVHD has been a lifesaver."

"It is definitely the best product on the market for dry eyes. My problem is I keep running out before the 30 days is up. Can they make a larger container, such as regular eye drop containers."
