Optimel Manuka Honey Forte eye gel is for use on the lid margin to help stabilise the health of the eye and relieve the symptoms of dry eyes, blepharitis and irritated eyelids. They are designed to be used AS WELL AS lubricating eye drops, not as an alternative.

Designed primarily to be applied along the lid margins, but can be applied into the lower lid pocket too.

Manuka Honey assists the surface health of the eye by creating a micro-environment that supports healing and prevents further damage. When applied to the lid margin, Optimel Manuka Honey Forte eye gel aids eye lid-margin hygiene, softening any crusts that form and lowing the pH environment helping reduce lid margin bacteria and the consequential inflammation around the meibomian gland ducts.

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. Applying Optimel Manuka Honey Forte eye gel 3 times a day can significantly improve the situation within a month.

PLEASE NOTE: stinging after using Optimel Manuka Honey Forte eye gel is to be expected but should be short-lived. Mild redness can occur too.

    Manuka honey eye gell

    I had previously given up hope of finding a product that suited my symptoms, until finding this product. Although not perfect it has made life easier. I have tried both the drops and gell. Both are good, the gell is more difficult to apply due to it's thick consistency, but works for a longer period. I find that If I apply upon wakening it will provide comfort for several hours, and in my case limits the need for other eye drops. I usually apply it with a cotton bud and only a small amount is needed, don't get me wrong when first applied it stings like mad for approx 30 seconds but then the relief is fantastic. I would recommend if nothing else you havd tried as worked.

    Manuka Honey forte eye gel

    I have just used it for 3 days, but so far it has been a game changer. Some say that the effect lessens over time; if that should be the case, I shall just be grateful for the help it has given my extremely dry eyes (both DED and MGD) during the time it worked. Absolutely worth a try if you have dry eyes.

    It does have mild stinging and redness but it does help eye comfort. Eyes don't feel as dry
