Meibo drops- Anyone try these?

[elliemee]

I noticed with all the medication ads the new dry eye drops, Meibo. Has anyone tried these yet? I'm on restasis for a long time and it has helped me tremendously. My eyed doc put me on them a few years ago, prollly around 10 years ago, when my dry eye got severe again due to worries I would have eye and vision damage. So likely I will stay on that forever. The copay is cheaper now to due to it becoming generic, however the box still says restasis on it although for a while it said cyclosporine.

Has anyone tried Meibo, and did it help you?

I don't know the real cause of mine. Pre type 1 d the dry eye doc thought it was ocular roseacea and steroid drops were a huge help, but now new doc thinks it is autoimmune although not sjorgen's etc. I went to another supposed specialist here then who was terrible who said I didn't have lack of tears but found they were evaporating fast, and did zip for me. Fortunately my regular eye doc had me try restasis which helped tremendously. He said the diagnosis is based on things like rapid tear evaporation etc. lol.

It all started when I was getting type1 and my whole body was inflamed too with bladder inflammation.

Thank goodness for restasis and that it helped me a lot. The first dry eye doc years ago didn't want me on that due to all the inflammation at the time. When I was put on insulin during dka it helped a lot. But then the dry eye came back and I was waking up all night with very dry eye balls, even with the tranquil eyes and fresh kote etc.

My eye doctor recommended Miebo earlier this year. I’ve been able to decently manage my dry eyes for the last 10 years, but she thought this would be a good addition to my regimen, and it was. It stays on my eyes a long time, and makes my vision a lot clearer, sharper, and brighter, unlike any other eye drop I’ve used. It’s an oily, light eye drop, a different consistency than most, which may be why it works so well. The only problem I noticed is after about half an hour, my eyes felt a bit dry if I did not do blinking exercises. But after I told my doctor about this, she recently expressed my meibomian glands, and put me on Cequa, which seemed to help me generate a little more oils and tears, and I don’t notice that problem anymore. So for me, Miebo now works very well. If my eyes were severely dry like they were for many years, I’m not sure if Miebo would work for me though.
