Does anyone have any experience with MEIBO (PF) drops for dry eyes?

There aren’t many options. Walgreens stopped making their store brand ointment, which was my favorite and least expensive out there. I can’t find Walmart brand anymore either.

There are now two other options. Of the two other options, they are both expensive. I think they are made by the same company. Just different name on the box. It worries me that they have a monopoly on this product. If they encountered a problem with their plant, there is no backup. Many people would suffer, including myself.

It’s so expensive, I can’t afford to build a supply to keep on hand. I cut back a little recently and paid the price with considerable pain. I have Salzman’s nodules, as well and it further aggravates the dry eye.

@mazel47 I’ve also been using blink RX with $0 copay until last month so I’m appealing my insurance because I can’t afford $1,100 a month being disabled. I have Sjogren’s and these are the best eye drops so far because they’re more of an oily eye drop and then I use a gel drop at night.

That’s highway robbery! Unbelievable!
I have primary Sjögren’s disease too. I’m using Restasis and Miebo. I agree that Miebo does helps, along with Restasis and OTC eye drops. I use ointment at night.

Is it ok to take Restasis and Maibo both for dry eye?

Yes, it’s ok. I was told by my Dr to use Meibo 4 times a day, Restasis twice a day. Meibo helps a lot.

I will soon be meeting with an opthamologist for the purpose of laser treatment for early glaucoma caused by some meds I was given for a recent head injury. I am told that the treatment causes some pain, and I am wondering what to expect, other than the pain I have presently, which is relieved with some very good OTC drops for dry eyes. Also, I saw a product for dry eyes that was a 'warming mask' and I wonder if anyone has any experience with this type of eye mask, thanks

I tried the disposable type. It is soothing but doesn’t retain the heat. I use warm compress.

I have used Systane Nighttime Eye Gel (or GenTeal Severe Dry Eye Gel) every night at bedtime for over 20 years. About 4 years ago I found I needed to apply again during the night. I apply that dose whenever I wake to use the bathroom. Doing this ensures my eyes are comfortable when I get up in the morning. I also cleanse my eyelids with Ocusoft Foam Lid Scrub every morning upon arising. This was recommended to me by my Optometrist. I also use Xiidra drops twice a day (Restasis did nothing for me.)
As I’ve aged (I’m 77) my dry symptoms have gradually increased. I’m planning on talking with my optometrist at my upcoming appointment about adding Meibo.

@mazel47 I use a rice bag it stays warm and moist

Thanks for the tips. I use those ointments too as I believe they are the only two available, except for a brand called Optase. Systane and Genteal are both made by the same company. I can no longer find any Walgreens brand or Equate. This bothers me as if they go out of business or have a tragic misfortune with their plant, all their customers will suffer. I have no idea what I would do. Sigh.

I need to resume the daily cleansing. I just feel it will dry my eyes further. I do use Systane hydrating drops during the day. I find them mire helpful that Systane gel drops.

Still, I would like to try Meibo.
