Optimel Manuka Honey Forte Eye Gel is specially formulated to stabilize eye health and relieve symptoms of dry eye, blepharitis, and irritated eyelids. Designed for application on the lid margin, this soothing gel complements your regular lubricating eye drops and is not intended as a replacement.
Made with 98% pharmaceutical-grade Manuka honey, this concentrated formula is ideal for individuals with severe dry eye or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). It can be applied directly to the eyelids, either from the tube or using a cotton bud—best used before bedtime to allow overnight soothing and restoration.
Manuka honey’s active component, Methylglyoxal (MGO), provides powerful antibacterial properties, creating a healing microenvironment on the ocular surface. This helps reduce bacterial growth, support natural healing, and maintain eyelid hygiene. The gel’s low pH also helps soften crusts along the eyelid margins and reduce inflammation around the meibomian glands.
Directions for Use:
-
Apply a small amount directly to the eyelid margin.
-
Expect mild stinging or redness initially due to the low pH—this typically lessens with regular use.
-
Some temporary blurring of vision may occur after application.
