ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel helps restore eye comfort and reduces inflammation
by improving eye-lid margin hygiene and reducing bacteria that may potentially
colonise the eyelid margin causing inflammation, poor tear quality and trauma to
the eye surface.

Patients with tear deficiency and meibomian gland disease have an overgrowth of
ocular flora. This overgrowth is thought to contribute to the tear film
instability and ocular surface damage. Both topical and systemic antibiotics can
significantly reduce the Colony Forming Units (CFUs) in eyes with chronic lid
disease. With the increase of resistance among ocular pathogens (Cernak et al
2011) ,the efficacy of antibiotic therapeutic regimens is being reduced.



Application of Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel 3 times daily to the inferior
conjunctival fornix and lower lid margins can significantly reduce CFUs from
baseline at month 1 and month 3 in the eyelids and conjunctiva of patients with
dry eye caused by tear deficiency and/or meibomian gland disease (Albietz and
Lenton 2006).

Reduction of CFUs reduces the potential susceptibility of the dry eye patient to
bacterial conjunctivitis and keratitis. The reduction in CFUs may also assist in
improving the clinical symptoms of dry eye disease by reducing the production of
certain bacterial lipases that are thought to hydrolyse meibomian gland lipids.

Albietz and Lenton also reported that the application of medical grade
Leptospermum spp honey (Manuka) was associated with signficant clinical
improvements in dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. The only adverse
effects noted with the use of Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel in the eye are
stinging and redness. No serious adverse effects are noted. It is recommended
that the use of the Optimel Manuka+ Forte Eye Gel be initially managed under the
supervision of an eye care practitioner.


PRECAUTIONS

 * Single patient use only
 * Use should be managed under the supervision of an eye care professional.
 * For any reaction other than the transient stinging and redness, cease use and
   contact your eye care professional.
 * DO NOT use if hypersensitive to bee products or food gums.
 * Do not instil whilst wearing contact lenses. Wait atleast 30 minutes before
   inserting lenses.
 * Replace cap after use.
 * Make sure tamper seal is in place before first use.
 * Discard 2 months after opening.
