Dry eye disease is a persistent condition that affects many people in Seattle, causing discomfort, irritation, and even vision disturbances. For those struggling with chronic dry eye, finding an effective treatment that provides lasting relief can be challenging. Miebo, a revolutionary topical prescription eye drop, is designed to address the root causes of dry eye disease and provide long-term comfort.
Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the quality of tears is inadequate. The tear film, which consists of three layers—mucus, water, and oil—plays a critical role in keeping the eyes lubricated and healthy. A disruption in any of these layers can lead to symptoms such as:
• A gritty or burning sensation
• Redness and irritation
• Sensitivity to light
• Blurry vision
• Excessive tearing
One of the most common underlying causes of dry eye disease is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which affects the oil layer of the tear film. Without sufficient oil, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness and irritation.
Miebo is a prescription eye drop specifically formulated to target the issue of tear evaporation. Unlike traditional artificial tears that provide temporary hydration, Miebo stabilizes the tear film by reinforcing the oil layer, helping to reduce tear evaporation and extend eye moisture retention.
Key benefits of Miebo include:
• Long-lasting relief – By addressing tear film instability, Miebo provides extended comfort throughout the day.
• Targeted treatment – Designed for patients with MGD-related dry eye, Miebo works to improve tear stability at its source.
• Preservative-free formulation – This reduces the risk of irritation and makes it a suitable option for those with sensitive eyes.
If you experience persistent dry eye symptoms that do not improve with over-the-counter lubricating drops, Miebo may be an effective solution. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with:
• MGD-related dry eye disease
• Frequent exposure to digital screens
• Contact lens discomfort due to insufficient tear film stability
