Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes these drops different from the Forte Gel?

The drops have a thinner consistency, making them easier to use during the day while working or on the go. While the Forte Gel is thicker and ideal for overnight support, the drops offer a lighter way to maintain eyelid hygiene and moisture levels throughout your busy daylight hours.

2. What is the "Manuka" benefit in these drops?

The Manuka honey in these drops acts as a natural cleanser for the eyelid area. It helps maintain a healthy balance by creating an environment where debris is less likely to build up.

3. Why does it feel like a "moisture magnet"?

Honey is naturally "water-loving." When applied, it helps the eye hold onto its own natural moisture more effectively. This creates a thin, protective layer that helps shield the eyes from the drying effects of air conditioning, wind, or long hours staring at digital screens.

4. Is the brief sting safe for the eyes?

Yes, the brief stinging sensation is a well-known characteristic of medical-grade honey due to its natural acidity and salt content (high osmolarity). Most people find that as they use the drops more regularly, they become accustomed to the sensation, which is quickly followed by a soothing effect.

5. Can these drops be used with contact lenses?

It is generally recommended to apply the drops and wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before inserting contact lenses. This allows the honey formula to settle and provide its protective benefits to the eye surface first. Always check the specific packaging or consult a professional for your lens type.

Dry eyes improved with regular use

Dry eyes improved with regular use.
Although they sting when the drops first go in they have proved to be very effective for my dry eyes.

My Ride-or-D-eye drops

I've been using this product for months and months, and I love it. (Not going to lie, the first time I used it, I didn't read the warning about the "sting" - which is not inconsiderable! - so I got a little bit of a surprise.)

My local optom also stocks this, and given that he's very conscientious about which products he's willing to recommend, I reckon that says something.

Very occasionally I'll find that these are a little too much for me (a day like today, where there's cold, dry wind, and my probably-ocular rosacea is really flaring) but in general, this is a marvellous product that's made a huge difference to my dry eye.

Very effective

My ophthalmologist recommended these drops for my blepharitis to reduce inflammation. I only use them at night right before going to sleep. I have to say, they do sting a lot as soon as the liquid touches your eyes, however I have slowly got used to it and it does seem to lessen over time. In saying that, they work wonders and my eyes are so white and clear in the morning! I highly recommend!

Manuka Eye Drops

I use these eye drops night and morning and my eyes feel great. I have no need to use any other drops during the day. The benefits definitely out way the slight sting that occurs which seems to lessen over time.

effective if very stingy!

I've not had this product vert long but the first time I used this I washed my eyes out straight away... it was super stingy. Then I did a little research and saw that it is meant to be, so I am trying it out slowly, and adjusting. I like that it doesn't blur my vision (after the sting has subsided) and am willing to persevere to see if it is as magical as others suggest

Manuka Eye Drops

These manuka eye drops were recommended by my optometrist after surgery. Both my husband & I use them now. Stings for a bit but it has given us both relief from dry eye.

Eye drops for dry eyes

Prescribed by my optometrist to treat dry eye syndrome, in preference to other commercially available ones. Stings for a few seconds but subsides quickly and works as expected.

I don’t think it made any difference but it’s only been a week or so.

The Best

These drops provide the best relief out of any eye product I have tried, Close your eyelids after instilling the drop and rotate eye for best effect. They seriously clear the eye of gunk and make them so much more comfortable.

Burning and then bliss

They burn like ACID! But after that initial burn, they seem to clear away the gunk that gets produced and keep my eyes cleaner and clearer than ever. Recommended.

Optimel Manuka Drops

The drops are very good in that I use them less in a day than other drops. The only thing is the initial sting to the eyes which is in itself slightly irritating. I also did not realise that they are not preservative free.
