About MIEBO
What is this medication?
MIEBO is a prescription ophthalmic solution indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. It contains the active ingredient perfluorohexyloctane and is the first FDA-approved treatment that specifically targets tear evaporation. Unlike traditional artificial tears or anti-inflammatory drops, this water-free and preservative-free medication focuses on stabilizing the tear film to prevent moisture loss on the ocular surface.
The medication works by mimicking the natural lipid layer of the eye, creating a protective barrier that reduces the rate of tear evaporation. By preventing tears from drying out too quickly, it helps maintain a healthy eye surface and provides relief from common symptoms like irritation and dryness. Patients typically use one drop in each eye four times per day as directed by a healthcare professional to achieve the best results in managing their condition.

How to read this:plans on the same formulary share tier + PA rules. Your specific plan's copay depends on (a) the tier above, (b) your plan's cost-share for that tier, (c) whether you're in the initial coverage phase or past the 2026 $2,000 out-of-pocket cap. For your exact plan, check its Summary of Benefits or log in to your Medicare.gov account. Copay cards don't apply to Medicare (federal law).
