Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Drops
Natural Relief for Dry Eye, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction & Ocular Surface Health
About the Product
Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Drops™ are specially formulated to restore eye comfort, reduce inflammation, and improve eyelid margin hygiene by lowering bacterial overgrowth that can contribute to tear film instability and ocular surface damage. This unique manuka honey-based formula offers an alternative to traditional treatments for dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and chronic eyelid conditions.
Key Benefits
- Reduces Bacterial Overgrowth – Helps lower Colony Forming Units (CFUs) that contribute to inflammation and poor tear quality.
- Improves Tear Film Stability – Supports a healthier, more stable tear film for long-term dry eye relief.
- Supports Ocular Surface Healing – May help reduce bacterial lipase production, which can break down essential meibomian gland lipids.
- Alternative to Antibiotics – With increasing resistance among ocular pathogens, Optimel offers a natural approach to managing bacterial-related dry eye issues.
- Clinically Researched – Studies have shown significant reductions in CFUs and improvements in dry eye symptoms with continued use.

I've been using the drops for about 2 weeks and they seem to be working really well. My dry eye has been pretty stable. Still not perfect but so much better than before. Would recommend! They do burn quite a bit when you put them in, but you get used to the burn after a few uses.

Works really well. I can tell a difference when I use it. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get off my prescription.
