For Dry Eye Disease "Miebo eye drops are reasonably good for dry eyes and the effect lasts longer than conventional products. There are few side effects, mostly some blurriness and slight burning, which go away after a while. However, I am shocked that Bausch & Lomb is charging $900 for eye drops that are available over the counter in Europe and Asia for $20 or less. EvoTears are exactly the same product, same ingredient, same bottle, same size, everything is the same except the label and price. Look them up and see. B&L licensed EvoTears from the inventor in Germany and is now charging the US consumers 50 times what most of the world pays. There is no justification for this. At this price, Miebo is not cost-effective even with insurance. My copay is over $300, not worth it."

For Dry Eye Disease "I have very dry eyes. I tried Xidra, which I could not use due to pain and burning of eyes. I was switched to Restasis, which was better, but my eyes were still bad. My eye doctor then added Miebo to my treatment. Between Restasis and Miebo, my eyes feel great. The only problem with Miebo is it does not last a full month. I even tried having someone else put the drops in for me, and it still did not last a month. Definitely needs to have more in a bottle to be able to put one drop in each eye four times a day. With Miebo, I have no pain or burning when the drop hits my eye."

"Best eye drop ever. I have ocular rosacea & dry eye. I have tried everything & am currently using Cequa & Oasis Tears. I even had IPL & LipiFlow treatments. Nothing ever took away the burning & redness until Miebo. I have been miserable for years, and now my eyes feel & look more normal than ever. Finally, I found something that works."

For Dry Eye Disease "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."

For Dry Eye Disease "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?"
