Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Gel is a high-viscosity dry eye treatment available in Australia, designed for patients with moderate to severe symptoms requiring longer-lasting relief. The formulation contains medical-grade Manuka honey, which provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits while supporting ocular surface healing. 

Compared with standard eye drops, the gel offers increased retention time, making it particularly useful for overnight use or during periods of prolonged dryness. It is commonly used in patients with chronic dry eye, blepharitis, or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where both lubrication and therapeutic support are needed. 

The preservative-free formulation ensures it can be used regularly without compromising ocular surface health. As part of a comprehensive dry eye management plan, it complements eyelid hygiene and other treatments aimed at improving tear film quality. 

The gel forms a protective layer over the ocular surface, reducing evaporation andmaintaininghydration. Manuka honey helps reduce inflammation and supports healing.
