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!
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.
Any tips for application? The drops are so small, and at room temp I can't feel the drops go in.
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
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.
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!
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
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
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
I've tried both and there the same to me.
Thanks for sharing your experience with both, Melissa
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! 😀
@@denisemarshall2679 you’re most welcome!

What is the cost of Nova Tears in Canada?
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
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.

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).
$800 for one month supply in the US :)
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.
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.
