AI Overview

Many effective, widely available lubricating eye drops do not contain perfluorohexyloctane, which is primarily found in specialized, water-free, oil-based products like Miebo or EvoTears. Common alternatives for dry eyes include preservative-free (PF) artificial tears from brands such as Systane, Refresh, Blink, and OCuSOFT. These often use ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or carboxymethylcellulose to provide moisture without perfluorohexyloctane.
