is there a reason for "10 minutes" later?
@@goodfella1337 ten minutes allows any excess moisture to settle. This helps the Miebo drops to avoid diluting
Is dry eyes permanent
Great information, great video! The explanation is very easy to understand! Thank you for sharing about "What are Miebo Drops for Dry Eyes?"! This video is exactly what we need.
@@phunghuyhoaofficial thank you very much Phung Hoy. I appreciate it! Let me know what video you’d like to see in future.
way too much personals and ads. patients just want what to eat and what not to, with concise mechanism
My dry eyes was induced due to excessive screen time
@@laksmi0108 screen time is a factor- it makes us blink less often
Dr. Plowman, thank you for the very helpful info! I've been suffering from dry eye for years, but my optometrist never mentioned the option of tear duct lavage. On the contrary, she is suggesting to plug my puncta to get the tears stay longer in the eye. Doctor, would it raise the risk of inflammation in the eye and in the lacrimal sac significantly ? Would you recommend punctal plugs to you dry eye patients ?
Do screen cause chronic dry eye or just temporary because due to screen i am now facing chronic dry eyes
Any tips for application? The drops are so small, and at room temp I can't feel the drops go in.
I have to have enough light as I am putting them in, so I can actually see the drop go in.
Hi, interested info. What about Jimerito honey?
Thanks so much for th info! Facinating how the eyes work. I'm not sure I need those prescriptions yet, I'll stick with the Cationorm drops at the moment. I think I'll ask about flushing the ducts though - I've had a long history of allergies.
Good intel. Is there a certain fiber supplement you would recommend?
The best sources of natural fibre are Pears, Oats, Strawberries or Avocado. Your local Wholefoods may stock these or other fibre supplements
I've been using for less than 2 weeks and have severe dry eye. I put in optase first then these drops. I'm assuming I cannot use optase between doses as it will disrupt the oil layer?
Most people use Miebo after Optase, Ivizia or a hyalauronate based drop. Standard frequency is four times per day. Some people use both drops more
I have floaters and moderate to severe dry eyes and Sjorgens. How can I get help? I live in Seattle.
I have been using Miebo drops for two weeks now, and it has made my eyes feel so good. I could not even believe it.
This is great to hear how much they are helping you, Roberta. Thanks for sharing!
is it expensive?
@@MySparkles87 Miebo’s list price Is $920/momth. Learn more in the video above
This prescription cost 💲900.00 per month. Shame on these pharmaceutical companies in America. It’s a shame that we senior citizens would have to pay this.
I know what you mean. It's a shame.
Only covered or you can use the coupon if you have commercial insurance. Once Medicare hits you're on your own, and that is an abomination.
Amazon uk..it's 20£ or roughly 30 $
Hello! I am in Canada and just bought the Nova tears from your online dry eye store. I am so excited to try them! Does one bottle generally last one month?
Hello! Thank you- one bottle normally lasts about one month. To get more drops in, I normally suggest to look next to a ceiling light. When the drop goes in, you can see a change in the appearance of the light. Like a wave of moisture across. Then you know it successfully went in. Hope this helps!
@@dryeyetips Dr. Plowman thank you SO MUCH for this information and for your reply! I am so grateful for your help!❤️I will definitely try that! 😀

What is the cost of Nova Tears in Canada?
Thank you for your video. Always informative. I think I will ask my eye doctor about the lavage. I will let you know if he’s accommodating.😂
You’re welcome, Patti! I look forward to hearing how you go!
$800 for one month supply in the US :)
Sometimes even with insurance it is $600 per month

Hi, thank you for your video. Would your mask also give relieve if you sleep with your eyes partially open and currently try to manage by taping eyes at night (which I HATE.....causes skin sensitivity). Right now I use gel and tape. Not sleeping well
Thank you, Wendy. This mask is designed for people who sleep with their eyes partially open. Medical grade silicone is more comfortable to wear on your eyelids. My patients look forward to using their mask every night!
Thank you
You're welcome, Vivek!
I'm waiting on mine to come in the mail. i really hope they work for me. So far I didn't need to pay for them. I'm also taking xiidra
Thanks for sharing- I hope the combination of Xiidra and Miebo help you
Thanks for uploading leigh 😁
Thank you for your interest, George
I just watched this video. I have struggled with dry eye for almost 3 years now. I have found some things that work for my inflammation and drops that I do like. I think this mask is amazing, I will be ordering one today. I live in Canada. And an area that is quite dry. Also hot in the summer . So air conditioning is on. And when I’m away, most hotels have air conditioning or fans on constantly. And it is hard to turn them off.😂 Thank you so much for your tireless work to invent this product. I cannot wait to try it.
Thank you for watching, Patti. I gave this mask to one of my patients. He saw me at his next appointment. He said that he actually looks forward to putting the mask on. I hope you enjoy your mask.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm an optometrist in the desert: Las Vegas area. Dry eye is an epidemic here. I'm happy to have another dry eye tool like BlinkJoy Night Eye Mask in my dry eye toolbelt.
Thank you for sharing, Dr Korman. It's great to have another tool in your tool belt in treating dry eye.
Do you ever wake up with red, dry or irritated eyes? Let me know
I've tried them and I was hoping the burning in my eyes would go away, but so far it hasn't. I've only been using them for a week though. How long does that usually take? Also, can you use these with serum tears?
I’m glad your drops arrived, Kiki. Commonly drops like IVizia or Optase with hyalauronate tend work well first. Then drops like Miebo may be used about ten minutes afterwards. Have you tried this technique?
No, I haven't tried it with the other eye drops, but I will. Thank you for your response!@@dryeyetips
😭😭😭Ommg that last day I put honey in my eye before even watching this video and I was shocked how relief I felt 😢 I swear god and the Quran is soooooooooooooooo true God menshed honey in the Quran in fact there is whole sura on bees and honey God say is these bees comes from their stomach drink which is is miracle and in it there healing for people Img I a, crying 🥹😭😭😭 I am spending all my money these companies don’t care about us I swear if they could sell us even the air they will do it But god gives us all that for free I love god he is my healing my life is in his hands 😭 This truth about the honey that they found in the past couple of years shows us that the Quran is 100 percent the words of god and it’s the right and true book🥹😭 We even have sura on cow in the Quran omg
I'm glad that honey is helping your eyes
Are you austriaian ?
Yes, I am Australian
Sir i have dry eyes since 2 yrs can i use manuka honey drops it's really help sir pls reply
I do find that I always return to the IMed brand of eyedrops. And I have been using Cequa for almost 2 years and it took a good eight months before it started working on my inflammation.
Well done for persevering with Cequa, Patti. I'm glad it is working for you!
Thank u Doctor
You're welcome, Jennifer
I had eyes sergery could I used manukau honey eyes drops
Based on clinical studies, manuka honey drops can be used for multiple types of dry eyes. Hope this helps
Thank you for all the great information. My dry eyes which ive suffered with for many years has none of the usual symptoms...red itchy irritated eyes etc. Nothing except extremely watery during the spring, summer and winter with no decrease during any of the seasons. My eyes pretty much as soon as i wake up are like floodgate of water. I've been mistaken for crying all the time..The only irritation that I have stems from having to constantly wipe my eyes. I've tried pretty much every eye drops available here in Canada but the only thing that gives me some temporary relief is rubbing some Vaseline directly into the eye. I know that cannot be good but its the only remedy that will stop the waterfall for awhile.
You're welcome, Jenny. You may like to chat with your Eye Doctor about Nasolacrimal Lavage. Or see a Dry Eye Specialist. Feel free to check out dryeyedirectory.com Thanks
I honestly didn't see much of a difference with these!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Patti. Have you tried using these drops after another OTC drop like Ivizia or Hyalauronate Based Drops? These help to boost the moisture content, then Miebo helps seal in moisture
Thanks for your comment on these drops, Patti. I hope you find relief for your eyes with products that work.
Animal studies are disgusting!😢
Which animal studies?
Quote: "An animal study showed that Miebo penetrated the Meibomian Glands for up to twenty four hours after a single drop (Krosser et al 2018).
Thank you for sharing this study
Too expensive and I hate that these doctors don’t warn u. Sad that I can’t afford continued use
I know, right? It'd be great if the drops were more affordable
@@dryeyetips the bottle is super small!
I paid zero dollars thru blink Rx, I have commercial health insurance nothing fancy
@@jamesmueller4058 I’m glad that your insurance and blink Rx worked for you
I just got it free from Medicaid. When I read your comment I decided to look at the price and holy sh*t.
Can you address the sting Doctor? Why is the product causing a sting lasting more than a few seconds???
Thanks for your question, Gina. Manuka honey drops sting due to the low pH of the drop. For most people, it lasts for a short time.
The bee 😂😂😂
Since Miebo is sort of an oil, can it clog the meibomian glands? Also, how does it help when it penetrates the meibomian glands? Does it somehow dissolve the thickened meibum?
The mechanism of Miebo is still being investigated. One of the clinical studies showed that Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane) has amphiphilic properties. An animal study showed that Miebo penetrated the Meibomian Glands for up to twenty four hours after a single drop (Krösser et al 2018). In the example patient in the video, he had thick Meibum and then had flowing Meibum again after extended use.
Thanks so much Leigh for explaining this. I did try Nova Tears but will give it another try.
Great- the studies show an improvement at four times per day for two months. I hope they help!
I've tried both and there the same to me.
Thanks for sharing your experience with both, Melissa
Can Meibo/Novatears be used with scleral lenses?
Miebo/Novatears is best used at least fifteen minutes before inserting contact lenses. At night, they can be used after contact lenses it is thought that Miebo/Novatears may have a synergistic effect with the natural eye oil layer. If studies confirm this, Miebo/Novatears may boost contact lens clarity and comfort. Hope this helps
My ophthalmologist prescribed this n my insurance would only cover part of it so my copay was $350. I got first month free from BlinkRx then after that it was NOT $60 a month.. it was $350. It’s ridiculous! I didn’t see much of a difference so I’ve gone back to over the counter Systane complete with no preservatives.
Thanks for sharing your copay with BlinkRx. It’s a lot more than I expected. Check out my list of best eye drops dryeyedirectory.com/best-eye-drops-for-dry-eyes/
I’ve asked my dry eye specialist about Meibo, but no Rx yet. It’s insane what they want to charge!
It’s otc in Europe and Australia so what gives?
@@zacharybohlman4069 It's interesting, isn't it?
I supposed than you can made an order here in Europe ? Hylo lipid is the name in France, it cost 10€/11$ (3€ for me because i have a prescription).
does VitA-Pos ointment help?
Vitapos can help overnight if you wake up with sore, dry or irritated eyes. Some people like it. Eye masks are better as you don't wake up with blurred vision from the ointment. Check out the masks on this page: shop.dryeyedirectory.com/products/eyeeco-eyeseals-4-0-hydrating-sleep-mask
thanks leigh
Thank you so much for this informative video. I think a combination of all these methods really help when performed regularly. What works best for me is the restasis eye drop. It really helps to relieve symptoms, especially after a few months. Also, cleaning the eyelids with special shampoos makes a huge difference. I will also try Ipl treatment this week and write my opinions again. Thank you !
Thank you so much for your comments. I hope that IPL starts to make a difference for you. Well done on your diligence!
I gave up gluten and my dry eyes were fixed in couple of weeks.
Great- I'm glad you found relief for your eyes!
Why is it more common in women? I’m a 30 year old male with chronic dry eye from meibomian gland dysfunction. I don’t get why I have this life changing disease.
Researchers are learning more about dry eye causes. We're learning more about the tiny mechanisms that make dry eyes more common in some people than others. Dry eyes is more common in women due to hormone fluctuations, skincare and makeup and other lifestyle factors. Screen time, incomplete blinking and diet are significant factors in the population for dry eyes. Dry eyes has tripled in the last ten years. I know dry eyes can have a significant impact. Do you see a dry eye specialist?

Great interview Leigh! And wonderful both Mila and Celia recognise the connection of cellular resilience re; gut, brain and immune. A holistic approach is essential for our health - giving us the tools and feeling empowered. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Maria. This aligns well with your expertise- I appreciate your support!
Excellent information, so accurate as I am personally walking this journey. The Thyroid gland is also incredibly important here and an underactive thyroid affects every organ in the body including the Gut and eyes. When fixing the gut with healthy foods, prebiotics and probiotics some people may benefit from also looking at ways to support their thyroid.
Thank you for sharing your journey so far, Janelle! I love looking at holistic health, including the gut and thyroid. All the best!
