Optimel Manuka+ Eyelid Cream is a targeted eyelid treatment available in Australia, designed to manage blepharitis and eyelid margin disease. Formulated with medical-grade Manuka honey, it helps reduce bacterial load and inflammation, which are common contributors to dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). 

Unlike eye drops or gels, this cream is applied externally to the eyelid margins, making it an important component of eyelid hygiene routines. It supports improved meibomian gland function, which is essential for maintaining a healthy lipid layer and reducing tear evaporation. 

This product is often used alongside lubricating eye drops or gels to provide a more comprehensive dry eye treatment approach. By addressing both the eyelids and the ocular surface, it helps improve overall comfort and long-term eye health. 

Manuka honey reduces bacterial presence on the eyelids and helps control inflammation. This supports healthier meibomian gland function and tear film stability.
