Optimel Manuka Honey Eye Drops 10ml - Dry Eye Treatment & Relief - Blepharitis, Corneal

Product Information

Optimel Manuka Honey eye drops assist the surface health of the eye by creating a micro-environment that supports healing and prevents further damage. When applied to the surface of the eye, Optimel Manuka Honey eye drops lower the acid level (pH), acting on bacteria that may potentially damage the surface of the eye.

Reduced tear production and meibomian gland disease can increase the bacteria present in the eye, contributing to the tear film instability and eye surface damage. Using Optimel Manuka Dry Eye Drops 3 times a day can significantly improve the situation within a month.Throughout the years, eye care experts, researchers and scientists have continuously worked on developing new treatment plans, devices, procedures and medications to help treat dry eye disease. When it comes to treatments, the most sought out by the majority of the patients are eye drops or artificial tears.

The wound-healing properties of honey, as well as its antimicrobial effects, make it uniquely suited to treat these kinds of ulcers. BlepharitisMGD is typically a life-long condition requiring ongoing management techniques to soothe dry eyes. Early diagnosis and dry eye treatment offer the best chance of symptom relief and prevention of disease progression. Symptoms of chronic dry eye occur because of corneal inflammation and irritation. Symptoms can include a gritty sensation, feeling like something is in your eye or excessive watering/tearing. DO NOT use if you have a history of hypersensitivity or sensitivity to honey, food gums or benzoate preservatives without seeking medical advice. Purpose:To evaluate the effects of manuka honey eye-drops in the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction. Patients used less eye lubricants while using Optimel Antibacterial Manuka Eye Gel or Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Drops and said their eyes felt better and not gritty. Most chose to continue using the honey treatments after the study concluded.

I have been using this to my eyelids about twice a day and whilst I have been at home have left it on most of the day (and night). Mr Moloney said the honey products should be used as adjunctive therapy for dry eye and were an effective management tool to manage MGD and blepharitis. He said good eyelid hygiene, clean eyes and eyelid margins, should always be initial therapy but if lubricants did not manage the condition well, people could try the honey products. The product also supports eyelid hygiene. When applied to the eyelid margin, the low pH environment helps limit bacterial growth. Crusts that may form in the margin of the eyelid with the presence of the formula are more likely to be soft and soluble. With this, Optimel products also help treat inflammation around the meibomian glands. Who Can Benefit from Optimel Products? Dry eye can also be seen following cataract surgery, affecting both patient comfort and visual quality. No serious side effects have been observed, but active Manuka honey preparations can cause initial stinging and redness when applied.

What about treating dry eye after cataract surgery?

At high temperatures, the components in the honey may get denatured and thus dissolution in hot water may corrupt the honey. Patients can benefit from Optimel products that reduce dry eye symptoms such as soreness, inflammation and irritation in the eyes and eyelids. Manuka honey has a distinctive nutrient profile and its high anti-microbial properties can be effective in treating infections such as pink or red eye or common eye irritations. 3.
