Both Miebo and Hycosan Shield contain the same clinically proven active ingredient — Perfluorohexyloctane — which helps restore the tear-film’s lipid layer to reduce evaporation and soothe dry eyes.
The main difference? Hycosan Shield is available without a prescription in the UK, offering the same science-backed relief with trusted German manufacturing.
