Product Overview

Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel 10g is a preservative-free Manuka honey-based eye gel designed for moderate to severe dry eye symptoms. Its thicker gel format may suit customers needing more intensive dry eye support, particularly before bed, when temporary blurred vision is less disruptive.

Eye gels can blur vision after application. Use as directed and avoid driving or operating machinery while vision is blurred. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist, worsen, or involve pain, discharge, significant redness, light sensitivity or changes to vision.

For ophthalmic use only. Do not use if the seal is broken or the tube appears contaminated. Stop use and seek professional advice if irritation persists or worsens, or if you experience eye pain, discharge, persistent redness, light sensitivity or sudden changes to vision.

Key Ingredients

Manuka honey from Leptospermum spp. with glycerin in a preservative-free eye gel formulation. Always check the product packaging for the full ingredient list and allergy information before use.

How to Use

Wash and dry your hands before use. Apply as directed on the packaging, ideally before bed or as recommended by your optometrist. Avoid touching the tube tip to your eye, eyelids, fingers or any surface.

Questions About Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel 10g

Quick answers about this product, usage, compatibility, and when to seek advice.

Why is Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel often used before bed?

The gel is thicker than a standard eye drop and can temporarily blur vision. Using it before bed can be more comfortable and less disruptive for customers needing stronger dry eye support.

What is the difference between Optimel Manuka+ Drops and Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel?

Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Drops are generally suited to mild to moderate dry eye support during the day. Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel is a thicker preservative-free gel often used for more intensive or night-time dry eye support.

Can I use Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel with contact lenses?

Do not apply eye gel over contact lenses unless the packaging specifically allows it. If you wear contact lenses, use the gel as directed on the packaging or ask your optometrist for advice.

More About Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel

Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel is a preservative-free, Manuka honey-based eye gel designed for moderate to severe dry eye symptoms. Its thicker gel format provides more intensive, longer-lasting support than a drop, and is often used before bed.

A Manuka Honey-Based Gel

Optimel Forte combines antibacterial Manuka honey (from Leptospermum species) with glycerin in a preservative-free gel. It may suit people whose dry eye symptoms — dryness, grittiness, irritation and lid-margin discomfort — are not fully managed by lighter lubricants, and who want a more intensive night-time option.

  • Preservative-free Manuka honey eye gel (10g)
  • For moderate to severe dry eye symptoms
  • Thicker, longer-lasting support than a drop
  • Often used before bed

What to Expect

Eye gels can blur vision after application, so use Forte when temporary blur will not interfere with activities such as driving — before sleep is ideal. Some people notice a brief stinging sensation with honey-based products, which usually settles quickly; if you have a known honey or bee-product allergy, check with your optometrist first. Compare related eye gels and ointments.

When to Seek Advice

Lubricating gels ease symptoms rather than treating a cause. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist or worsen, or involve pain, discharge, significant redness, light sensitivity or vision changes. Our optometry team can help you build a suitable routine from the dry eye range.
