Amphiphilic Effect
Each 1-PFHO molecules show an amphiphilic behavior involving lipophilic and aerophilic effects
Self-assembly
This 1-PFHO class of chain molecules show self-assembly effects and form into a complex discrete supramolecular film.
Lipophilic & Aerophilic Formation
PFHO exhibits supramolecular interactions of amphiphilic lipids at the air-liquid interface outside the tear film forming
a compartmented supramolecular layer.
Stabilizing Lipid Layer Components
Along with forming this layer PFHO exhibits great potential in stabilizing the components of the lipid layer to unfold their
full physiological potential. The improved lipid layer provides the perfect substitution of the natural lipid layer using PFHO.

INDICATION
MIEBO™ (perfluorohexyloctane ophthalmic solution) is a semifluorinated alkane indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
MIEBO should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed before use and for at least 30 minutes after administration of MIEBO
Instruct patients to instill one drop of MIEBO into each eye four times daily
The safety and efficacy in pediatric patients below the age of 18 have not been established
The most common ocular adverse reaction was blurred vision (1% to 3% of patients reported blurred vision and conjunctival redness)
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1800FDA10

Study design
The first and only approved Rx eye drop that required all patients in pivotal studies to have clinical signs of MGD at enrollment
Two 57-day, multicenter, double-masked, saline-controlled studies GOBI and MOJAVE were conducted in adults 18 years old with a self-reported history of DED in both eyes. Primary outcomes were change from baseline in tCFS and change from baseline in eye dryness score (Visual Analog Scale) at Day 57. Day 15 was the earliest time point at which signs and symptoms were evaluated in the trials. Day 57 was the last.1-3
