Description

Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel is formulated by Melcare Biomedical. It contains a standardized medical-grade Manuka honey derived from Leptospermum spp. (a specific type of Manuka plant). This gel is preservative-free and specifically developed for individuals with dry eye issues. The active ingredient in Manuka honey helps create a microenvironment on the ocular surface, promoting healing and preventing further damage.

It’s ideal for use before bed, allowing it to soothe your eyes while you sleep.

How Does It Work?
Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel helps restore eye comfort by:
Improving eye-lid margin hygiene: It reduces bacteria that could potentially cause inflammation, poor tear quality, and trauma to the eye surface.
Reducing bacterial overgrowth: Patients with tear deficiency and meibomian gland disease often have an overgrowth of ocular flora. This gel can significantly reduce bacterial counts, making the eye less susceptible to bacterial conjunctivitis and keratitis.

Clinical improvements: Studies have shown that applying medical-grade Leptospermum spp. honey (Manuka) is associated with significant improvements in dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction

Usage and Precautions:
Apply the gel three times daily to the inferior conjunctival fornix and lower lid margins.
Adverse effects are minimal, usually limited to transient stinging and redness.

Precautions:
Single patient use only
Avoid if hypersensitive to bee products or food gums.
Remove contact lenses before instilling the gel and wait at least 30 minutes before reinserting them.
Replace the cap after use and discard the gel two months after opening
So, if you’re dealing with dry eye symptoms, Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel could be a helpful addition to your eye care routine!
