Manuka Honey Forte Eye Gel 10g - Dry Eye Treatment & Relief Eyelid Gel - Blepharitis, Corneal

I am on day 3 of application, and I wish I didn't wait so long to try this.Around 10 weeks ago I awoke with the sensation of a bruised eye, heat and intense pain on the eyelids, which seemed to start at the inner corner and radiate its way around to underneath the eye. No eye discharge, no bloodshot white. I was checked by optician who said nothing wrong inside the eye, told me to treat with warm dry compress. After another few weeks the eye had 'calmed down' but I was receiving 4 days of relief, and then the pain would start again. Optician said this time blocked meiobian glands, and to massage the lids, warm compresses and use dry eye drops until the glands started to flow again. The eye was beginning to become slightly red and bloodshot at the lower lid edge outside. The discomfort had me try castor oil in the eye (what a relief!) then colloidal silver which seemed to help with the slight redness, and the hot packs have to be managed on a day to day basis. Too much heat or too many hot packs a day cause a counter problem of overdryness, it takes delicate balance. Am also using intermittant lid scrub wipes, again finding a balance with these.Wet cotton bud, put some manuka gel on it, then smear along the lower lid margin and close the eyes. It does sting, but it's not as bad as you think because as soon as the eye starts to create the tearflow, the relief is immense. Although my pain symptom has only been in one eye, I am treating both with this gel. The whites have cleared up, the oil flow seems better; it's flowing better from the one hot compress in the morning, after lid massage and blurry for a few minutes and this takes the strange pressure/pain/bruised feeling away. I have ordered the drops also, as I read those support the meiobian glands to heal and flow better. I am also taking 4 krill oil capsules, 6 omega7 sea buckthorn berry and have just ordered from flax farm some organic cold pressed flaxseed oil. I believe this will support the eyes in the longer term. Additional vitamin D with k2. I will update here in a few months time. Although I do not want to become dependent on these products, it would be great if I could gain relief and natural healing to assist my body to get back to balance in the eyes. Good luck! Seller had very fast posting, received within 2 days of ordering. Edited to add check out Nulids device and gel: its totally a gamechanger for my dry eye problems, is expensive but I've stopped using drops multiple times a day

I bought this as I suffer from very dry bloodshot eyes and have done for 35 years. I use the eye gel at night after cleaning my eyes and it has made such a difference. My eyes feel less dry and don’t burn first thing in the morning and my eyes are barely bloodshot. The small tube is expensive but it has lasted for months as I only use a tiny dot in each eye. It does cause momentary stinging for a few seconds when first applied. Would definitely recommend.

The tube arrived half empty, I didn’t send it back as I actually believed it might be the answer, once and for all, for my dry eyes. It stung, but I persevered for three nights, a drop in each eye, I actually thought my eyes would get use to it. So, after six drops I decided to not use it. Now it is nearly empty and I feel cheated, it was expensive and I wish I had returned it.

I have left it a while before posting a review so that my opinions are well thought out. So, my lower eyelid became red and sore and very dry. I was told it was blepharitis with no cure. It was suggested that I keep my eye clean and to use eye drops to help with dryness. I was very upset to hear this because at 65 years old I didn’t have much going for me but always thought my eyes were the best part of my whole body! The redness was very noticeable and it was upsetting. After much web searching I found this product and although I cannot say the condition has disappeared, I can honestly say it no longer is an issue, the redness is barely visible providing I use the gel every day which of course I am more than happy to do. I am using the same brand of eye drops as well.Added to my review in August 2019 - I would be failing if I did not add some friendly advice based on recent personal experience. The tiny spot of redness on my lower lid remained so while attending a routine doctor appointment I asked my GP if there was any magic potion that would cure it completely. I was shocked when she suggested I see a dermatologist urgently as she told me that blepharitis can be misdiagnosed and the problem could be skin cancer of the eyelid. It accounts for 10% of skin cancers which was a real surprise, I have never heard of skin cancer of the eyelid. Relieved to say that my condition has been confirmed as blepharitis but if you haven't seen a medical practitioner (as suggested on the pack of Optimel) please think about it. The dermatologist also recommended cleaning the eyelid morning and night using diluted baby shampoo (I use Johnsons). Amazing results. I have seen this suggestion on other websites, certainly works for me. Combined with the Gel the blepharitis is hardly noticeable.

Overall good and helped. Made me eyelids burn a little at first

Just couldn't persist with this - eyes flooded with tears immediately on application - not really my idea of relieving dry eye!

Stings at first but well worth it. Keeps my eyes from drying out.

Get the gel and use it on the margin of the lower eyelid with an ear bud. Apply a little the first few days increasing as you become more comfortable with it. After 4 months I was able to see my old eyelids again, pale pinkish not red and not puffed and inflamed.Now I have been using it for more than a year and I only need to out once per day. In conjunction with the blephasteam mask, hylo dual drops and gel for the night I am comfortable again!Love it
