Mechanism of action

Perfluorohexyloctane mediates its actions in the lipid layer and meibomian glands. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, perfluorohexyloctane is believed to interact with the air-liquid interface of the tear film and form a monolayer, preventing the evaporation of the aqueous phase of the tears.

Indication

MIEBO™ (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED). Instill one drop of MIEBO four times daily into affected eye(s). Contact lenses should be removed prior to and for at least 30 minutes after the administration of MIEBO.
