alt Hacker NewsIt's a very interesting drug. There are a lot of concerns right now around PFAS in water supplies, for example, and Miebo/Evotears are pure PFAS (perfluorohexyloctane) that's instilled directly in the eye, giving you a dose somewhere around a million times higher than levels of concern in drinking water.
But it is absolutely revolutionary if you have dry eyes. Quotes include "I feel like my eye is actually too wet now"

Instead of putting and accumulating PFAS in your body, just get punctal cauterization. No drops will be needed thereafter.
It's also used to replace the intraocular fluid. In that case you'll get trillions times that.
This is why the PFAS scare is quite a bit silly. "PFAS" is such a broad category that it's ridiculous.
What the fuck... what's stopping this from poisoning our water supply?
You could try this:
Visomitin (Emoxipine/Mexidol) eye drops are a Russian-developed antioxidant medication known for treating dry eyes, fatigue, radiation damage, and improving vision, working to protect eye cells from damage (oxidative stress), but it's not widely available or FDA-approved in the US, requiring international purchase or specific prescriptions, often used for cataracts or post-surgery recovery, focusing on cell protection rather than just lubrication like many Western OTC drops.
