My husband had a leg ulcer on his shin. Notoriously hard to cure leg ulcers. A nurse showed me how to do it. I got sterile dressing mesh soaked in pure Manuka honey and cut it to exactly fit the floor of the ulcer then squeezed sterile manuka honey in from a tube before putting a breathable dressing over with enough pressure to keep the local area free of the oedema that he had badly in his legs. It got better! It never got infected except when a nurse insisted her way was the only way, once. It got infected really fast and smelt bad. I ignored her advice [it obviously didn't work!] and carried on with the honey. It totally healed. It took about six weeks because ulcers heal very slowly. The honey gave it time to heal free of infection.
Hi, I have put manuka honey on my eyelashes from time to time to try to tackle my blepharits and have found it most effective. (I actually thought I'd invented this method!) However I once got some right in my eye and it stung so much! I also used it years ago for a really bad skin reaction and it was the only thing that worked.
It is pretty much the only honey that we eat, and it is delicious. Used as a topical it’s great for scar healing, burns, ulcers & sores. For general good health in winter, a teaspoon of manuka honey in a mug with lemon juice and hot water is a sore throat and congestion cure-all. And mixed with diluted Apple cider vinegar to drink daily hot or cold as a general tonic. Manuka honey-infused vodka is great too. Come visit NZ sometime and meet our bees and trees :)
That's incredible! I work in an eye clinic with an ophthalmologist who specializes in dry eye and manuka honey drops is not a medication we are aware of. I will have to bring this to their attention!
For sure! There are a few publications that discuss it as a fringe treatment for dry eye, but again it’s a bit new and I image more large scale studies will need to come out before the industry starts accepting it as a mainstream treatment.

Prepare to get an eye roll! Lol, that’s what usually happens when you mention natural medicines to Drs in the US anyway. Their loyalty lies with chemical drugs.
My vision has been bad since elementary school. I’ve been using honey eye drops from herb baby for about 2 weeks and my eyes are 90% less itchy. Also my vision has improved slightly.
Hii Dr. Allen , I am following you since 1 year and I am really grateful and thankful from bottom of my heart to you❤️ , I am from India and in small cities of India such quality eye doctors are not available so we still get every solution of eye problems because of people like you. You should proud of you that you're helping peoples worldwide. I have some eye floaters and I got panic but after seeing your videos all fear gone ! So keep making such helpful videos and yes please make 1 more video on floaters in that tell the treatment also. Again a big thanks and Lots of love from India ❣️🇮🇳
I had problems with blepharitis and dry eye for several months after a conjunctivitis. Nothing seemed to help. Bought manuka honey (thought I'd rather spend money on the real thing than in drops that only contain a little percentage) after watching this video and put little amounts in my eyes right before going to sleep. Instant relief the next day and after four nights I don't even need moisturising eye drops during the day. It's like a miracle for me.
I am from USA and living in Spain right now. I found my dry eye specialist (Dr. Teresa Iradier) in Madrid last year by watching three of your videos called “Dry eye explained”, “MGD (dry eye) treatment guide - How to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction” I have a mixed dry eye and MGD. I completed four IPL treatments along with Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops and Autologous Serum eye drops. In addition, Dr. Iradier recommended permanently warn compresses twice daily, Manuka Forte Eye Gel to apply to my inferior eyelids nightly, and Manuka Dry Eye drops when I’ll be working with my laptop for long periods. I FEEL GREAT thanks to you, your excellent videos, and a caring ophthalmologist Dr. Iradier.
I've been prescribed cyclosporine but I fear it makes my dry eyes worse. You apply it in the evening? After manuka honey or warm compress ? The doctor I saw in Paris (250km far from my home) didn't gave me any details. Cyclosporine takes time to work for you ? I'm so miserable, my dry eyes are not improving...
I started using Optimel right after this video so 3 months ago. It still stings every single time. However, I believe the demodex mite control made a difference in my MGD disease progression by repelling these mites. I have more than one medical issue with these mites and I surmise I'm sensitive to them. With the Optimel I have little to no visible nites according to my eye doctor. My eyelashes have even started to thicken up again and grow. My dry eye is still with me in the mornings but during the day I'm doing well. No symptoms except for when first waking. This stuff was successful for me.
You are the first person I have found that says it stings. I just tried it twice and it does for me too. I’m scared to continue. I have tried 5 different drops now for blurry, heavy tired a year after cataract surgery.
I have been using these for 2 years. I was born with retinoblastoma, and the readiation treatment that I got back then has really ramped up dry eye pain now that I am in my 40s. When I turned 40, my optic nerve died of a blood flow problem, and now all I see all day is light and fog. I think blood is flowing in to the wrong part of my eye now, and it is causing my broken optic nerve to only see LIGHT, pure white and yellow light, just strange fog. But anyway. I started taking these drops to see if they would help. They did not help with that, but they did randomly stop the dry eye pain. So that is SOMETHING, even if I'm suffering every day from the other stuff still. I recommend these honey drops to anyone who has dry eye issues. Visine, etc, never helped me at all solve dry eye pain.
I've been using Optimel for about six months and won't go without it now. By now the last vestiges of Demodex infestation are long gone. The reddish/brown coloring to my eye whites has gone away. What's more, and I suspect this is down to a drop in inflammation, I see a whole lot better than I did before. I can't recommend Optimel enough. Thanks for taking us through the literature on this great product Doctor Eye Health!
This is so cool that bees are still doing such amazing things. 1) pollinators 2) honey makers (which if I recall correctly has a low glycemic index great for diabetes, plz fact check that) 3) so many medical uses that are used in conventional, regional, and experimental forms of medicine.
Hi! So I’m German, this is nit a thing here like many things that are dry-eye related and I keep bringing odd bits and ends from English internet (research, studies etc.) to my optho-team (I have rare and difficult eyes). Just wanted to thank you for being that part of light-shedding people. Always useful and informative.
3 dr visits. 3 emergency room visits (eyes swollen almost shut) 2 specialists. Two rounds of antibiotics. 3 days of steroids, Warm compresses. Threw away mascara. Disinfected makeup brushes etc….. 3 month nightmare of never looking normal again. Just ran out and bought manuka honey. Wish me luck 😫
Haven’t had any issues in 5 months. I put a little bit in the corner of my eyes (tear duct area) and blink it to cover waterlines. I will probably use as maintenance for the foreseeable future. Try it
My hypothesis is the burning is caused by the bushes where the bees procure the sector. Because of their association with tea tree oil, this is probably one of the active ingredients in Manuka honey.
I have used local unprocessed raw honey, not minooka, in warm distilled water to quickly cure conjunctivitis and styes for my family through the years. Has worked every single time.
I'm trying these again after my recent DES check up and I have to say I've noticed a good amount of improvement in the look and comfort of my eyes in just 7 days with twice daily drops. Amazing. As a kiwi, I really should have been on to these a whole lot faster. 🤣 The mild stinging is tolerable. Just keep the eye closed for 15-20 seconds and it's fine. Thanks for the review Doc!
I make my own. 1/4 teaspoon manuka honey dissolved in 1/4 cup warm distilled water. Optional pinch of kosher salt. It really helps with pink eye and just feels good anytime. I have never had any burning. I use it on my cats as well. Store in refrigerator and warm up (not in microwave) before use.
Hii Doctor! There's many people who are making videos that it is possible to change eye colour via some natural ways. I would request you to study about it and tell the truth to everyone. You're the only Eyesight Doctor I trust on the whole Internet. Bye take care, accept our love and supports! ❤
Surprised Bausch & Lomb isn’t making a drop out of this and calling it their own (at $800 a month) like they did with Miebo (proflurohexyloctane) - $20 in Europe under various names like EvoTears.
I love that you covered this! I myself switched to using pure raw manuka honey as my face wash (I use to use Elta MD.) I have rosacea and demodex, and after each use my acne goes down, my eyes don't itch, and inflammation is totally gone. I love manuka honey!
i would also love to know what manuka face wash you switched to as i am currently with the same problems and just switched to vanicream facewash and moisture only to try and fix my irritated eyes and face but maybe i am not giving it enough time. i even just switched to an all clean shampoo and conditioner yesterday and still having red hot cheeks and burning red irritated eyes around the clock no matte what i do.
U can use it alone as a mask although adding a few drops of olive oil (any quality oil) will help it glide easier. It can also be applied mixed with any face wash, mask etc. A homemade mask or wash: honey, oil/water/aloe, pinch of baking soda or clay for extra exfoliation.
@@julieprieto2209 Hi, sorry for not replying! RUclips never alerted me of these comments. :/ To answer your question, I'll splash warm water on my face, then take a spoonful of manuka honey and rub it all of my face until I have a thick coat everywhere. Including over my eyelids and eyelashes. Then I let it sit for at least 5 minutes (though I have done up to an hour.) Then just rinse it all off with warm water.
I had amblyopia to the left eye. Eye patching was not done then. Right eyes had high power glasses. I did vigorous eye exercises for squint in amblyopic eye. But my right eye caught dry eye. Now I am suffering of dry eyes. By Gods grace I am successfuly doing my teaching job and managing educational institution. Please guide me to keep my eyes healthy.
Love these drops, been using them in. To me I love the feeling as I feel it's "working". Yes your eyes will turn red and your eyelids as well, but that will return to normal after 5/10 minutes. Overall best drop I have used to date. They also make a gel you can use at night, I say night as it's a bit thicker so your vision is blurry for a short period, but also the gel does a better job staying on the eyelids/eyelashes which is what you want to help fight the Blepharitis
I’ve been having extensive antibiotic treatment for over one year for Bartonella (cat scratch) infection which has affected my eyes. I saw an ophthalmologist and have tried absolutely everything there is to gain relief for the inflammation and severe dry eye, the only thing that has helped is manuka honey!
It Is Better clean the eyelids before and after put the gel of manuka or Better put the gel and After clean the eyelids? Someone has some experience with this product about Blood vessels in the sclera of the eyes? Your eyes are more White now After taking manuka honey?
I have tried everything, Ristasis, Xiidra, Tyrvaya &Multiple OTC eye drops, & lubes, plugs stopped my blurred vision and rainbow halos, but here we are years later, still got major dry eyes, but truly grateful for plugs, I will get some Manuka drops, before I try serum tears, if that doesn’t work, I’m done. VTW, thank god for Cevimeline, that truly helped my dry mouth, seems like this would help dry eyes too, but so far, nothing.
Hi. I had dry eye and no eye doctor helped me it was stupid. And the more stupid thing is I cured it myself virtually overnight. Text back if you are interested.
Manuka honey is frequently used in veterinary clinics for pets as a natural antibiotic (topically). I love manuka honey. I have used the honey eye drops before but not the brand you mentioned. I have to try the one you linked here. I have a brown spot in the white of my eyes I am trying to find a remedy for.
I started using the gel version about a week ago. Man, does it sting!! The first time or two I had to lay down for about ten minutes until I could open my eyes and function again. Now it’s about three minutes. Totally worth it if it helps. I think it is. I don’t have MGD…they’re in perfect shape. Dr R thinks it’s a lacrimal gland issue and Dr S says mucin cells issue. Swollen eyelids have caused great eye irritation and suffering. After trying a bunch of treatments and in the midst of fitting scleral lenses (eyes too irritated/inflamed to use them), Dr S decided to pop in some regular contact lenses “as a band-aid” for two weeks before we tried the sclerals again. Voila! My eye irritation went to zero, inflammation has reduced greatly. Not perfect…have to keep eyes well lubricated, but FINALLY something is working. Moving forward I plan to continue with the Manila honey gel and Dr R says he will decide in two weeks if I can remain using regular contacts. I also asked him to try the Rinsada device for me as my eyelids seem to be the main driver of my irritation symptoms.
I've heard of Manuka Honey doctor I won't Injustice because it makes blood sugar rise but that was a very informative interesting video I didn't know Manuka oil was also made for the past but my question is I do have a question doctor does Manuka oil can it reverse glaucoma? I will be checking your videos and looking for your response that I remember you said if you haven't received the question before that gives you the opportunity to dig and do research be blessed and thank you for what you're doing God bless you in all your undertakings in Jesus name
He did a video taking about some studies with floaters and pineapple. Sounds great to me and sounds like a safe try too. I need to get back to making smoothies again and want to give this a try. I love pineapple so in case it doesn't work, no loss and I'll just eat more pineapple that I love anyhow. I've got a few floaters and one messes with me and I think it's a bug flying at my face sometimes. I really see it when I'm outside on a bright sunny day. I've gotten used to it now, but I'm sick of the floaters. I've had floaters for decades, but seems I've gotten more after a car accident many years ago. My eye dr at the time said it's scar tissue. Not sure if that's true or not.
I have found it to be extremely beneficial to eat more Vitamin A! I have meibomian gland dysfunction/dry eye disease and I do hot compresses & lid scrubs everyday and got eyelux & blephex done about 9 months ago. Even with those treatments I still had horrible dry eyes. I did some of my own research and found vitamin A deficiency can cause eye dryness. Although it is very rare to have a vitamin A deficiency I gave it a shot anyways. No sooner did I eat beef liver (super high in very bioavailable vitamin A), a day or 2 later, my meibomian glands were very open and flowing!!!!!! My eyes never felt so good in years. To make sure it wasn’t a coincidence, I ate beef liver 1 day then waited till my dry eye symptoms returned (about a week or so) and ate it again. When I ate it again, it helped similarly to before. So now I have been eating liver every week or 2 and also eating sweet potatoes. The odd thing is that I eat extremely healthy already and I’m only 26 years old, so I was quite surprised that this helped as much as it did. I do still have dry eyes but my day to day comfort is so much better. I HIGHLY recommend giving this a try.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been suffering from meibomian gland dysfunction and have had 5 IPL laser treatments. They did help with getting my meibomian glands to flow but I still feel discomfort and my eyes feel goopy, oily, and constantly tear up when I’m outdoors. For the past year and a half, I’ve been doing warm compresses 2x/day, lid massages, lid wipes…I can’t tell if it’s helping but don’t want to stop in case my MGD may worsen. I will definitely try adding Vitamin A to my diet. Not sure if I would be able to eat beef liver since I never liked the taste of liver. Maybe I’ll try taking vitamin supplements.
Something very few people know. Vitamin A or retinol is plentiful in most types of meats, fish, eggs, dairy. Beta carotene from plant sources, is only a precursor to Vitamin A. Long story short, get your Vitamin A from animal sources. I have done so along with plenty of Omega 3 from fish. Have had better results with a variety of eye problems than any other treatment including tons of different drops. Hope this can help!!!
Beta-Carotene is a carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits which the body converts into Vitamin A (although not all of this carotenoid gets converted). Vitamin A occurs in animal products such as liver, butter, and eggs yolks, and fish high in Omega 3. These animal foods can be relied on as superior sources for the essential nutrient, Vitamin A. Below is a make-at-home formula that has been out in the "natural healing" nutritional world for ages. Eye Drops Solution using Manuka Honey: -- (consult your eye health professional before using).: 5 parts Distilled Water 2 parts Manuka Honey (if unobtainable, use best grade honey) 1 part pure Apple Cider Vinegar Combine in a sterile bottle. Contents should not spoil but it can be stored in refrigerator. (Immediately upon using, it may elicit a smarting sensation, then eyes will clear after a few moments.)
@@mkryuThe Braunschweiger sausage made from pork and pork liver is a high Vitamin A source -- albeit a high-sodium one. The supermarket, Aldi's, has a good version. The Oscar Meyer product seems to be harder to find these days.

Just received my Manuka eye drops. Boy does it sting when it hits the eye. I wasn’t prepared when applying to first eye. Second drop in the other eye still stung but I was ready for it. My eyes feel great after application. Hopefully in a couple of months I can give a success update……hears to positive thoughts.
Thank you Dr. for educating us on these new eye drops. I love the idea of Manuka Honey but am a little concerned about the preservative BAK though and have read some negative reviews on the Amazon website. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Right now, based on the limited studies presented. It appears it may help with inflammation and could help with dry eye. However, as said in the video, most studies were done with small sample sizes. I still recommend always discussing the use of these drops with a local professional. Especially if they are already monitoring your condition.
@@DoctorEyeHealth i dread that visit the v injury has affected my vision. It sucks getting older but getting v injured really sucks. I'm getting better only gonna take another year. Did I tell you not to get the covid vaccine? Please don't the world needs you.
Would there be any difference between homemade Manuka honey drops mixed with lubricant drops and the optimel brand? Looking to keep my drops preservative free
Doctor ❤❤❤ from india i have a question 1)Blindflod can reduce dry eyes lagophthalmos? 2)how many months can i use blindflod lagophthalmos ? 3)i am using carboxymethylcellulose sodium lubricant eye drops from i week symptoms are not cured for how many months can i use this eye drops or suggest eye drops and how many times a day ? 4)which ointment should i use for lagophthalmos and how many months to use?
@@Cooliewhistles I use the drops. The gel causes MGD caps. Where I get like a pimple on my gland. Yes the drops still work . I use it once a day now. Makes like a charm.
Ive had blepharitis issues for about 5 months. I’m 28 years old. No dry eyes mostly itchiness when it flares up and extreme swollen eyelids. Looks like I have been stung by a bee. Then after it looks like eczema . I went urgent care twice and ER once. They didn’t want to run any tests because my breathing was fine. I have optometrist appt tomorrow I and allergist/immunologist appt in 2 months. I tossed all the makeup now for 3 weeks haven’t worn any makeup still had flareups. Continued cleaning my sheets and pillow cases frequently and vacuumed more bc I thought maybe it’s demodex mites although I wasn’t diagnosed with that and I don’t see crusts on my lashes. . I was given courses of oral steroids twice . 5 days on prednisone 20mg . After I was done couple days later my eyes had flare up again. I’m finishing a 6 days course right now. I’m using tea tree oil wipes and Vaseline Prescribed steroids topical ointment and warm compress . Right now I don’t have flare ups but I believe it’s because I’m actively on steroids. I’m gonna try the honey… I just can’t deal with this anymore. I wake up frequently with eyes that look like I been stung by bees . Benadryl does nothing ceterizine does nothing. Takes my eyes 3-4 days to come back down then I deal with the aftermath of my eyelid being irritated from inflammation and my skin looks like eczema for 1 week and then it swells up all over again. It’s been 5 months this is extremely painful and it should be taken more seriously. I feel so discourage that everything I read says it’s chronic. I suspect this started because my immune system took a hit. I’ve had this job where my shifts were at night for over 2 years and half and resulted in chronic sleep deprivation for that period. I have young kids I care for at home and many times I would not sleep for periods of 55-65h on end. I thought I can push through but I think it impacted my health negatively overtime. Also I’ve had a very turbulent marriage and emotional abuse at home and I feel maybe the chronic stress on top of sleep deprivation kickstarted everything. It sucks because now idk how to get rid of . Stopped working nights and started taking vitamins. I hope I’ll see an improvement I cannot live like this. Legit having what looks like an allergic reaction every week and it doesn’t respond to any anti histamine medecine and idk what’s causing it so I can’t prevent my flare ups. Horrible I hope tea tree oil wipes and honey will help
That kind of chronic stress can obliterate your immune system and cause all kinds of autoimmune problems. I've been through that kind of stress, fear, and anxiety AND paid major consequences for it. I truly pray you get help with all of it. You need to make yourself a priority as often as possible and begin to compile your resources. Identify who can help you through this and make the hard decisions for what/who needs to be cut out of your life. And how. Start setting boundaries and know that THAT is self care. You'll never get that from any other human. Just you and God. And your kids will learn the best lesson ever when they see you caring for your own needs. They'll learn they have value and self worth when you demonstrate that yourself. And you do have value and you are worth fighting for yourself. Praying you have every single need met, thank you Jesus, AMEN!!
Thank U SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS. I LOVE your Videos .I WENT To The Eye Doctor last Week I Was So Terrified. ALL my Tests Were Normal I Was Tested For glaucoma And Cataracts. EVERYTHING WAS normal The Only Thing That Worried Me Was When The Doctor Did A Pressure Test It Was High What Does That Mean?
When Eye pressure is high it can be a risk for glaucoma, however there are many variables and eye pressure can sometimes be thrown off if you are holding your breath, or if you are really stressed, or some other physiological factors. Did your doctor recommend additional testing or coming back for a recheck of pressure?
@@DoctorEyeHealth THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING.MY DOCTOR TOLD ME MY EYES ARE VERY HEALTHY.HE SAID THE HIGH PRESSURE COULD OF COME FROM Stress..My Glaucoma test Was negative
Hello Doctor ! In India as per Ayurveda honey is used, not only for eyes problem but also for wound healing, due to its anti bacterial and anti inflammatory characteristics form generation. In present day M/S Patanjali Ayurveda, Haridawara, Uttrakhand, India, is manufacturing an EYE DROP named "Dhristi" ( meaning Eye vision). I used it for dry eyes problem and it work really well. Thanks for your this video.
I could not order the Manuka Honey Eye Drops here they were even sold out on Amazon. I have had blessing with Indian health produces before and found the Dhrist eyedrops fast and easy plus less than week to get here. They also are way cheaper than the Manuka Honey Eye Drops on Amazon.
@@jackjones4043 Yes, first 4, 5 times it is very irritating because extract of ginger and onion is also there with honey. I started to use it becasue I had problem of dry eyes due to these in summer I suffer with headache if went out in sun light. After using Dhristi eye drop, with in a month that problem reduced remarkable level. Using more than six month dry eyes problem reesolved approx 90%. Still I use it 2, 3 times in a week.
Very informative video! Keep doing this nice work. Doctor I have 1 problem from last 6 months , my right eye was very red while left eye is normal so what could be the reason? I have watched your dry eyes treatment video it is helpful but now it is not dry eye case I don't know the reason why right eye is too red . Can you please tell me any treatment or any drop or any particular suggestion for this?🙏
Hey thanks so much for watching and the kind comment! I wish I could offer more help with the red eye but it really needs to be seen by a local doctor. Too many possible causes. But you are right that if it just one eye it is less likely to be dry eyes or allergies. ( still could be but less likely). Have you seen someone about it yet? If so, what did they say?
I found out i have a mild case of the gland issue I've been told to use eye drops 4 times a day for a month. Then back down. As well as hot compresses I'm going to take the research up to the eye doctor i went to see. They treat macular degeneration as well. Which both my parents have. As well as cataracts And I'm going to start the vitamins as well. But, this is big news for those of us with genetic links to MD
Well, dang! I’m very disappointed to read that honey is high in salicylate. That means I have to avoid it topically. Thank you for telling us about Manuka honey for eyes.
Hi Dr. A., Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have glaucoma, elevated ocular pressures and early stages of macular degeneration. Both eyes have undergone cataract surgery and I'm 80 y.o. I started this drop about 2 weeks ago, and it does sting, but I tolerate it. My main question is...how long do you really recommend that the drops be in each eye? You do say 20-30 seconds in the video, but I wonder if doubling that duration helps. I'm already on Alphagan and Xalatan but do not use those close to the times that I instill the Optimel drops. Cheers.
I will probably order these, I also keep a sqeeze tube of raw organic honey in my shower and wash my face and eyelids/lashes with it in the shower, helps a lot.
Thanks for this vid. My skin and hair reacts well to oil based products, so why wouldn't an oil based eye drop have the potential of having a good effect as well? As a long time sufferer of dry eyes, this is actually the first product I've tested that has helped. It makes a noticeable difference, and puts all the other fancy eye drop products in my cabinet to shame. Warm compresses, massages, eye lid cleansing, gel drops, 3 in 1 solution eye drops, concentrated omega 3 supplements, dietary changes, humidifiers etc. never made any meaningful difference to my dry eyes. This actually does. Can't recommend this product enough.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Again, thank you for this! I live in Norway, and we've had a lot of cold and dry weather during the winter, sometimes reaching -20 degrees celsius. Usually my eyes would struggle, but this winter my eyes have been more moist than during last summer. These eye drops has made such a big difference to my quality of life. Just thought you should know that. Wouldn't have happened (at least not so soon) without your help. Cheers!
I ordered them and am excited to use something more natural, thank you for bringing this to our attention! They really sting terrible and can’t use more then once a day as so painful. I read there is a gel without preservatives, do they not sting? How are they to use? Thank you
My eyes red how to clear l stay somaliland I'm not have quality teartment and also eye drops my eyes irrted and also dry l used eye drops CIPRO -D and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose my doctor tell me use mixed treatment use only three today 😢
Love your channel!! So I’m taking doxycycline and using azithromycin eyedrops right now for 60 days. Would it be OK to add my honey eyedrop now or should I wait until I’m done with my current regimen? TYIA😊
Hey thanks for asking! I do think you should talk to your local doctor about it (I know I would appreciate it if a patient I was treating would call and let me know or ask). The only issue with starting a new treatment/drop is how do you know which treatment is really helping?? Perhaps finishing one treatment first before starting a second. Either way, wishing you success!
I have used it mixed with distilled water as either drops or an eye wash. I make it fresh every time to avoid bacteria. I’m not an eye doctor but I did consult my eye doctor before using it, and he said it shouldn’t hurt. It has been fine for me and has caused no problems. I have a book about honey uses, and the ancient Egyptians used to use honey to clear eye infections etc. It’s not a new thing, I guess. :)
I actually ordered them and received them when you uploaded the video. However, I saw they have preservatives and will just use them for a month once per day. Would you recommend this drops if you have damaged nerves?
I'm with these 👍🏼comments regarding your videos...I just recently went to see my ophthalmologist for new glasses. She identified the feeling I asked you about many months ago and it is the dry eyes. She gave me a sample of drops w/o Preservatives. I used it a couple of times, but didn't feel right. I was looking for another healing property for my eyes. I just ordered this. Again, along with the others, a huge thank you for your help. Don't stop and TMH bless you😊
First time that I heard of it sounds very good something that made out of a bee wax I have to try it thank you DR eye health for sharing have good day you can get that any where or just the amazon?
Have you ever tried using manuka honey for anything? Did it help?
I Never Tried This I Will thank You
My husband had a leg ulcer on his shin. Notoriously hard to cure leg ulcers. A nurse showed me how to do it. I got sterile dressing mesh soaked in pure Manuka honey and cut it to exactly fit the floor of the ulcer then squeezed sterile manuka honey in from a tube before putting a breathable dressing over with enough pressure to keep the local area free of the oedema that he had badly in his legs.
It got better! It never got infected except when a nurse insisted her way was the only way, once. It got infected really fast and smelt bad. I ignored her advice [it obviously didn't work!] and carried on with the honey. It totally healed. It took about six weeks because ulcers heal very slowly. The honey gave it time to heal free of infection.

Prepare to get an eye roll! Lol, that’s what usually happens when you mention natural medicines to Drs in the US anyway. Their loyalty lies with chemical drugs.
@@DoctorEyeHealth😊
My vision has been bad since elementary school. I’ve been using honey eye drops from herb baby for about 2 weeks and my eyes are 90% less itchy. Also my vision has improved slightly.
Hii Dr. Allen , I am following you since 1 year and I am really grateful and thankful from bottom of my heart to you❤️ , I am from India and in small cities of India such quality eye doctors are not available so we still get every solution of eye problems because of people like you. You should proud of you that you're helping peoples worldwide. I have some eye floaters and I got panic but after seeing your videos all fear gone ! So keep making such helpful videos and yes please make 1 more video on floaters in that tell the treatment also. Again a big thanks and Lots of love from India ❣️🇮🇳
I wish more doctors were aware of newer research and treatments like this.
I had problems with blepharitis and dry eye for several months after a conjunctivitis. Nothing seemed to help. Bought manuka honey (thought I'd rather spend money on the real thing than in drops that only contain a little percentage) after watching this video and put little amounts in my eyes right before going to sleep. Instant relief the next day and after four nights I don't even need moisturising eye drops during the day. It's like a miracle for me.
How do you apply it to your eyes? Did you dilute it?
Can you say which brand of Manuka honey you use?
How are you eyes now?
lmaooo that's not sterile - terrible idea despite the relief
I literally just bought the manuka honey today can't wait to try it for my blepharitis.
I am from USA and living in Spain right now. I found my dry eye specialist (Dr. Teresa Iradier) in Madrid last year by watching three of your videos called “Dry eye explained”, “MGD (dry eye) treatment guide - How to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction”
I have a mixed dry eye and MGD. I completed four IPL treatments along with Cyclosporine 0.05% eye drops and Autologous Serum eye drops. In addition, Dr. Iradier recommended permanently warn compresses twice daily, Manuka Forte Eye Gel to apply to my inferior eyelids nightly, and Manuka Dry Eye drops when I’ll be working with my laptop for long periods.
I FEEL GREAT thanks to you, your excellent videos, and a caring ophthalmologist Dr. Iradier.
I've been prescribed cyclosporine but I fear it makes my dry eyes worse. You apply it in the evening? After manuka honey or warm compress ? The doctor I saw in Paris (250km far from my home) didn't gave me any details. Cyclosporine takes time to work for you ? I'm so miserable, my dry eyes are not improving...
I started using Optimel right after this video so 3 months ago. It still stings every single time. However, I believe the demodex mite control made a difference in my MGD disease progression by repelling these mites. I have more than one medical issue with these mites and I surmise I'm sensitive to them. With the Optimel I have little to no visible nites according to my eye doctor. My eyelashes have even started to thicken up again and grow. My dry eye is still with me in the mornings but during the day I'm doing well. No symptoms except for when first waking. This stuff was successful for me.
You are the first person I have found that says it stings. I just tried it twice and it does for me too. I’m scared to continue. I have tried 5 different drops now for blurry, heavy tired a year after cataract surgery.
@@arlan515sorry to hear that . I also am going for cataract surgery soon
I have been using these for 2 years. I was born with retinoblastoma, and the readiation treatment that I got back then has really ramped up dry eye pain now that I am in my 40s. When I turned 40, my optic nerve died of a blood flow problem, and now all I see all day is light and fog. I think blood is flowing in to the wrong part of my eye now, and it is causing my broken optic nerve to only see LIGHT, pure white and yellow light, just strange fog. But anyway. I started taking these drops to see if they would help. They did not help with that, but they did randomly stop the dry eye pain. So that is SOMETHING, even if I'm suffering every day from the other stuff still. I recommend these honey drops to anyone who has dry eye issues. Visine, etc, never helped me at all solve dry eye pain.
Thank you.❤
I've been using Optimel for about six months and won't go without it now. By now the last vestiges of Demodex infestation are long gone. The reddish/brown coloring to my eye whites has gone away. What's more, and I suspect this is down to a drop in inflammation, I see a whole lot better than I did before. I can't recommend Optimel enough. Thanks for taking us through the literature on this great product Doctor Eye Health!
This got rid of pigmentation in your eyeballs ?
Have you removed the tiny Blood vessels from the sclera of your eyes?
This is so cool that bees are still doing such amazing things.
1) pollinators
2) honey makers (which if I recall correctly has a low glycemic index great for diabetes, plz fact check that)
3) so many medical uses that are used in conventional, regional, and experimental forms of medicine.
My blepharitis inflammation (eyelid redness) has almost gone after only 4 days with the gel. Incredible stuff
Which gel
@@kingnole4237Manuka honey.
Do you mean the Manuka honey gel?
Hi! So I’m German, this is nit a thing here like many things that are dry-eye related and I keep bringing odd bits and ends from English internet (research, studies etc.) to my optho-team (I have rare and difficult eyes). Just wanted to thank you for being that part of light-shedding people. Always useful and informative.
3 dr visits. 3 emergency room visits (eyes swollen almost shut) 2 specialists. Two rounds of antibiotics. 3 days of steroids, Warm compresses. Threw away mascara. Disinfected makeup brushes etc….. 3 month nightmare of never looking normal again. Just ran out and bought manuka honey. Wish me luck 😫
How's it
Haven’t had any issues in 5 months. I put a little bit in the corner of my eyes (tear duct area) and blink it to cover waterlines. I will probably use as maintenance for the foreseeable future. Try it
Are your eyes ok now?
My hypothesis is the burning is caused by the bushes where the bees procure the sector. Because of their association with tea tree oil, this is probably one of the active ingredients in Manuka honey.
Nectar, not sector.
I love these eye drops. I am seeing such great results when it comes to MGD. Any long term safety issues ?
i love the myboclean gel with manuka honey.. it has helped my dry eyes so much i can't go without it
Yeah!!!! My girlfriend loves that stuff for helping remove makeup.
I have used local unprocessed raw honey, not minooka, in warm distilled water to quickly cure conjunctivitis and styes for my family through the years. Has worked every single time.
Ppl say it also brightens the eye color is it true
I'm trying these again after my recent DES check up and I have to say I've noticed a good amount of improvement in the look and comfort of my eyes in just 7 days with twice daily drops. Amazing. As a kiwi, I really should have been on to these a whole lot faster. 🤣
The mild stinging is tolerable. Just keep the eye closed for 15-20 seconds and it's fine. Thanks for the review Doc!
Did your eyes get more red?
Did your eyes get more blood shot at first? He mentioned it... And will they stop after awhile?
Does honey and water change eye color? permanently or temporarily?
I make my own. 1/4 teaspoon manuka honey dissolved in 1/4 cup warm distilled water. Optional pinch of kosher salt.
It really helps with pink eye and just feels good anytime. I have never had any burning.
I use it on my cats as well.
Store in refrigerator and warm up (not in microwave) before use.
woah! I don't think I am brave enough to try making it myself
@@DoctorEyeHealth Because of the infection possibilities?
Cats? I bet they love that 😂
@@Starfish2145
Actually, they do. It's very soothing, and they know it will make them feel better.
@@DoctorEyeHealth why not...your professionally trained? respectfully... I've read some dropper types has additional preservatives (BAK?)... thanks for Sharing.
Love it! I have suffered from meibomian gland dysfunction for many years, and now my eyes feel better. It sure does burn when applied, though.
Was there cumulative improvement from manuka , or just quick relief after you appply each time ?
@@Cooliewhistles I don't use it every day... only when my eyes feel particularly irritated.
Dr. Allen, how do you keep your eyes so perfectly white?
Hii Doctor!
There's many people who are making videos that it is possible to change eye colour via some natural ways. I would request you to study about it and tell the truth to everyone. You're the only Eyesight Doctor I trust on the whole Internet.
Bye take care, accept our love and supports!
❤
Surprised Bausch & Lomb isn’t making a drop out of this and calling it their own (at $800 a month) like they did with Miebo (proflurohexyloctane) - $20 in Europe under various names like EvoTears.
I love that you covered this! I myself switched to using pure raw manuka honey as my face wash (I use to use Elta MD.) I have rosacea and demodex, and after each use my acne goes down, my eyes don't itch, and inflammation is totally gone. I love manuka honey!
Hi Crystal can you please explain how you use it and remove it? I have facial and ocular rosacea too. Thank you!
I would love to know more too about the face wash!!
i would also love to know what manuka face wash you switched to as i am currently with the same problems and just switched to vanicream facewash and moisture only to try and fix my irritated eyes and face but maybe i am not giving it enough time. i even just switched to an all clean shampoo and conditioner yesterday and still having red hot cheeks and burning red irritated eyes around the clock no matte what i do.
U can use it alone as a mask although adding a few drops of olive oil (any quality oil) will help it glide easier. It can also be applied mixed with any face wash, mask etc.
A homemade mask or wash: honey, oil/water/aloe, pinch of baking soda or clay for extra exfoliation.
@@julieprieto2209 Hi, sorry for not replying! RUclips never alerted me of these comments. :/ To answer your question, I'll splash warm water on my face, then take a spoonful of manuka honey and rub it all of my face until I have a thick coat everywhere. Including over my eyelids and eyelashes. Then I let it sit for at least 5 minutes (though I have done up to an hour.) Then just rinse it all off with warm water.
I had amblyopia to the left eye. Eye patching was not done then. Right eyes had high power glasses. I did vigorous eye exercises for squint in amblyopic eye. But my right eye caught dry eye. Now I am suffering of dry eyes. By Gods grace I am successfuly doing my teaching job and managing educational institution. Please guide me to keep my eyes healthy.
I eat manuka every day 🤗🍯 But I was not aware manuka eye drops existed 🤔 I will definitely do more research. Thank you for the video! ❤
Love these drops, been using them in. To me I love the feeling as I feel it's "working". Yes your eyes will turn red and your eyelids as well, but that will return to normal after 5/10 minutes.
Overall best drop I have used to date.
They also make a gel you can use at night, I say night as it's a bit thicker so your vision is blurry for a short period, but also the gel does a better job staying on the eyelids/eyelashes which is what you want to help fight the Blepharitis
I haven’t tried the gel version yet. Do they sting more?
@@loveu8910 some people say yes but I don't find it to sting anymore or less
Did your sight get better?
I am going to try this right away! If manuka honey can heal wounds then it only makes sense that it’ll perform in eye drops. Thank you Dr. Allen!!💕
👍👍💯
@@DoctorEyeHealth u put raw honey in eyes any harm pls reply
Personal experience from using a high grade of manuka honey I merely smear it with a cotton swab along my last base and no it does not burn.
I’ve been having extensive antibiotic treatment for over one year for Bartonella (cat scratch) infection which has affected my eyes. I saw an ophthalmologist and have tried absolutely everything there is to gain relief for the inflammation and severe dry eye, the only thing that has helped is manuka honey!
I should mention, I’ve been using the Optimel manuka gel which is a bit more powerful than the drops I believe
I have used manuka honey diluted with filtered water. It works well in cleaning the eyes
I do this as well, except I use distilled water and use the mixture as an eye wash. Amazing how nature provides. :)
It Is Better clean the eyelids before and after put the gel of manuka or Better put the gel and After clean the eyelids? Someone has some experience with this product about Blood vessels in the sclera of the eyes? Your eyes are more White now After taking manuka honey?
I have tried everything, Ristasis, Xiidra, Tyrvaya &Multiple OTC eye drops, & lubes, plugs stopped my blurred vision and rainbow halos, but here we are years later, still got major dry eyes, but truly grateful for plugs, I will get some Manuka drops, before I try serum tears, if that doesn’t work, I’m done. VTW, thank god for Cevimeline, that truly helped my dry mouth, seems like this would help dry eyes too, but so far, nothing.
I understand. I have Superior Limbic Keratoconjunctivitis, and I have tried everything for dry eye with no success.
Hi. I had dry eye and no eye doctor helped me it was stupid. And the more stupid thing is I cured it myself virtually overnight. Text back if you are interested.
I found retaineMGD drops the only drops that help. I get them in the little jugs and they have saved me a lot of pain.
Manuka honey is frequently used in veterinary clinics for pets as a natural antibiotic (topically). I love manuka honey. I have used the honey eye drops before but not the brand you mentioned. I have to try the one you linked here. I have a brown spot in the white of my eyes I am trying to find a remedy for.
Thank you! I'm going to try it and report back. I don't care if they burn or sting. My ophthalmologist only recommended Avenova, which helps a bit.
I like avenova too! But more for just blepharitis.
I started using the gel version about a week ago. Man, does it sting!! The first time or two I had to lay down for about ten minutes until I could open my eyes and function again. Now it’s about three minutes. Totally worth it if it helps. I think it is.
I don’t have MGD…they’re in perfect shape. Dr R thinks it’s a lacrimal gland issue and Dr S says mucin cells issue.
Swollen eyelids have caused great eye irritation and suffering. After trying a bunch of treatments and in the midst of fitting scleral lenses (eyes too irritated/inflamed to use them), Dr S decided to pop in some regular contact lenses “as a band-aid” for two weeks before we tried the sclerals again. Voila! My eye irritation went to zero, inflammation has reduced greatly. Not perfect…have to keep eyes well lubricated, but FINALLY something is working.
Moving forward I plan to continue with the Manila honey gel and Dr R says he will decide in two weeks if I can remain using regular contacts. I also asked him to try the Rinsada device for me as my eyelids seem to be the main driver of my irritation symptoms.
Nice video! Which is better for eyes - optimel Manuka honey eye drops or Manuka honey Gel? Thanks
I've heard of Manuka Honey doctor I won't Injustice because it makes blood sugar rise but that was a very informative interesting video I didn't know Manuka oil was also made for the past but my question is I do have a question doctor does Manuka oil can it reverse glaucoma? I will be checking your videos and looking for your response that I remember you said if you haven't received the question before that gives you the opportunity to dig and do research be blessed and thank you for what you're doing God bless you in all your undertakings in Jesus name
Please Dr find us a light treatment for floaters 🙏🏻
He did a video taking about some studies with floaters and pineapple. Sounds great to me and sounds like a safe try too. I need to get back to making smoothies again and want to give this a try. I love pineapple so in case it doesn't work, no loss and I'll just eat more pineapple that I love anyhow. I've got a few floaters and one messes with me and I think it's a bug flying at my face sometimes. I really see it when I'm outside on a bright sunny day. I've gotten used to it now, but I'm sick of the floaters. I've had floaters for decades, but seems I've gotten more after a car accident many years ago. My eye dr at the time said it's scar tissue. Not sure if that's true or not.
Dr. Allen! Do the drops have preservatives in them and would you advise against them? Or prefer another type of application?
I have found it to be extremely beneficial to eat more Vitamin A! I have meibomian gland dysfunction/dry eye disease and I do hot compresses & lid scrubs everyday and got eyelux & blephex done about 9 months ago. Even with those treatments I still had horrible dry eyes. I did some of my own research and found vitamin A deficiency can cause eye dryness. Although it is very rare to have a vitamin A deficiency I gave it a shot anyways. No sooner did I eat beef liver (super high in very bioavailable vitamin A), a day or 2 later, my meibomian glands were very open and flowing!!!!!! My eyes never felt so good in years. To make sure it wasn’t a coincidence, I ate beef liver 1 day then waited till my dry eye symptoms returned (about a week or so) and ate it again. When I ate it again, it helped similarly to before. So now I have been eating liver every week or 2 and also eating sweet potatoes. The odd thing is that I eat extremely healthy already and I’m only 26 years old, so I was quite surprised that this helped as much as it did. I do still have dry eyes but my day to day comfort is so much better. I HIGHLY recommend giving this a try.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been suffering from meibomian gland dysfunction and have had 5 IPL laser treatments. They did help with getting my meibomian glands to flow but I still feel discomfort and my eyes feel goopy, oily, and constantly tear up when I’m outdoors. For the past year and a half, I’ve been doing warm compresses 2x/day, lid massages, lid wipes…I can’t tell if it’s helping but don’t want to stop in case my MGD may worsen.
I will definitely try adding Vitamin A to my diet. Not sure if I would be able to eat beef liver since I never liked the taste of liver. Maybe I’ll try taking vitamin supplements.
Something very few people know. Vitamin A or retinol is plentiful in most types of meats, fish, eggs, dairy. Beta carotene from plant sources, is only a precursor to Vitamin A. Long story short, get your Vitamin A from animal sources. I have done so along with plenty of Omega 3 from fish. Have had better results with a variety of eye problems than any other treatment including tons of different drops. Hope this can help!!!
Beta-Carotene is a carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits which the body converts into Vitamin A (although not all of this carotenoid gets converted). Vitamin A occurs in animal products such as liver, butter, and eggs yolks, and fish high in Omega 3. These animal foods can be relied on as superior sources for the essential nutrient, Vitamin A.
Below is a make-at-home formula that has been out in the "natural healing" nutritional world for ages.
Eye Drops Solution using Manuka Honey: -- (consult your eye health professional before using).:
5 parts Distilled Water
2 parts Manuka Honey (if unobtainable, use best grade honey)
1 part pure Apple Cider Vinegar

Contents should not spoil but it can be stored in refrigerator.
(Immediately upon using, it may elicit a smarting sensation, then eyes will clear after a few moments.)

My eyes feel great after application. Hopefully in a couple of months I can give a success update……hears to positive thoughts.
Thanks for sharing!! Wishing you the best!
How are your eyes now
Is your eye sight better?
Thank you Dr. for educating us on these new eye drops. I love the idea of Manuka Honey but am a little concerned about the preservative BAK though and have read some negative reviews on the Amazon website. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
You can get gel. It's preservative free.
@@sosygmingmc5030 Thank you, I'll check it out.
According to Dr Toyos, a well known specialist, the preservative is not BAK with these.
Why not use the honey straight ? Without the ‘active ingredient’ which is a preservative?
I have the same question
According to another eye doctor on RUclips, the gel version does not have the preservative.
Can Manuka Honey help with Bullous Keratopathy ???
I'm going to try it. Will it help you see better? Help with dryness?
Right now, based on the limited studies presented. It appears it may help with inflammation and could help with dry eye. However, as said in the video, most studies were done with small sample sizes. I still recommend always discussing the use of these drops with a local professional. Especially if they are already monitoring your condition.
@@DoctorEyeHealth i dread that visit the v injury has affected my vision. It sucks getting older but getting v injured really sucks. I'm getting better only gonna take another year. Did I tell you not to get the covid vaccine? Please don't the world needs you.

Anybody been using it for a long time? I been using it for 6 months and amazing results. I have MGD
Hello, can you take has the improvement been gradual or did it plateau? Drops or gel and how often?
@@Cooliewhistles I use the drops. The gel causes MGD caps. Where I get like a pimple on my gland. Yes the drops still work . I use it once a day now. Makes like a charm.
Ive had blepharitis issues for about 5 months. I’m 28 years old. No dry eyes mostly itchiness when it flares up and extreme swollen eyelids. Looks like I have been stung by a bee. Then after it looks like eczema . I went urgent care twice and ER once. They didn’t want to run any tests because my breathing was fine. I have optometrist appt tomorrow I and allergist/immunologist appt in 2 months. I tossed all the makeup now for 3 weeks haven’t worn any makeup still had flareups. Continued cleaning my sheets and pillow cases frequently and vacuumed more bc I thought maybe it’s demodex mites although I wasn’t diagnosed with that and I don’t see crusts on my lashes. . I was given courses of oral steroids twice . 5 days on prednisone 20mg . After I was done couple days later my eyes had flare up again. I’m finishing a 6 days course right now. I’m using tea tree oil wipes and Vaseline Prescribed steroids topical ointment and warm compress . Right now I don’t have flare ups but I believe it’s because I’m actively on steroids. I’m gonna try the honey… I just can’t deal with this anymore. I wake up frequently with eyes that look like I been stung by bees . Benadryl does nothing ceterizine does nothing. Takes my eyes 3-4 days to come back down then I deal with the aftermath of my eyelid being irritated from inflammation and my skin looks like eczema for 1 week and then it swells up all over again. It’s been 5 months this is extremely painful and it should be taken more seriously. I feel so discourage that everything I read says it’s chronic. I suspect this started because my immune system took a hit. I’ve had this job where my shifts were at night for over 2 years and half and resulted in chronic sleep deprivation for that period. I have young kids I care for at home and many times I would not sleep for periods of 55-65h on end. I thought I can push through but I think it impacted my health negatively overtime. Also I’ve had a very turbulent marriage and emotional abuse at home and I feel maybe the chronic stress on top of sleep deprivation kickstarted everything. It sucks because now idk how to get rid of . Stopped working nights and started taking vitamins. I hope I’ll see an improvement I cannot live like this. Legit having what looks like an allergic reaction every week and it doesn’t respond to any anti histamine medecine and idk what’s causing it so I can’t prevent my flare ups. Horrible I hope tea tree oil wipes and honey will help
That kind of chronic stress can obliterate your immune system and cause all kinds of autoimmune problems. I've been through that kind of stress, fear, and anxiety AND paid major consequences for it. I truly pray you get help with all of it. You need to make yourself a priority as often as possible and begin to compile your resources. Identify who can help you through this and make the hard decisions for what/who needs to be cut out of your life. And how. Start setting boundaries and know that THAT is self care. You'll never get that from any other human. Just you and God. And your kids will learn the best lesson ever when they see you caring for your own needs. They'll learn they have value and self worth when you demonstrate that yourself. And you do have value and you are worth fighting for yourself. Praying you have every single need met, thank you Jesus, AMEN!!
Thank U SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS. I LOVE your Videos .I WENT To The Eye Doctor last Week I Was So Terrified. ALL my Tests Were Normal I Was Tested For glaucoma And Cataracts. EVERYTHING WAS normal The Only Thing That Worried Me Was When The Doctor Did A Pressure Test It Was High What Does That Mean?
When Eye pressure is high it can be a risk for glaucoma, however there are many variables and eye pressure can sometimes be thrown off if you are holding your breath, or if you are really stressed, or some other physiological factors. Did your doctor recommend additional testing or coming back for a recheck of pressure?

Hello Doctor ! In India as per Ayurveda honey is used, not only for eyes problem but also for wound healing, due to its anti bacterial and anti inflammatory characteristics form generation. In present day M/S Patanjali Ayurveda, Haridawara, Uttrakhand, India, is manufacturing an EYE DROP named "Dhristi" ( meaning Eye vision). I used it for dry eyes problem and it work really well. Thanks for your this video.
After reading this I ordered two Dhrist Wow what burning to the eyes it hurts. I'm going to keep using it anyway.
I could not order the Manuka Honey Eye Drops here they were even sold out on Amazon. I have had blessing with Indian health produces before and found the Dhrist eyedrops fast and easy plus less than week to get here. They also are way cheaper than the Manuka Honey Eye Drops on Amazon.
@@jackjones4043 Yes, first 4, 5 times it is very irritating because extract of ginger and onion is also there with honey. I started to use it becasue I had problem of dry eyes due to these in summer I suffer with headache if went out in sun light. After using Dhristi eye drop, with in a month that problem reduced remarkable level. Using more than six month dry eyes problem reesolved approx 90%. Still I use it 2, 3 times in a week.

Can you please tell me any treatment or any drop or any particular suggestion for this?🙏
Hey thanks so much for watching and the kind comment!
I wish I could offer more help with the red eye but it really needs to be seen by a local doctor. Too many possible causes. But you are right that if it just one eye it is less likely to be dry eyes or allergies. ( still could be but less likely). Have you seen someone about it yet? If so, what did they say?
According to Prphetic Medicine in Islam, honey water is used as an eye salve. Also a mouthwash.
Does it improve glaucoma vision?
Oculosin Propo eye drops are soothing while Optimel eye drops burn!
Its called a Tea Tree shrub in Australia.
I found out i have a mild case of the gland issue
I've been told to use eye drops 4 times a day for a month. Then back down. As well as hot compresses
I'm going to take the research up to the eye doctor i went to see. They treat macular degeneration as well. Which both my parents have. As well as cataracts
And I'm going to start the vitamins as well. But, this is big news for those of us with genetic links to MD
Well, dang! I’m very disappointed to read that honey is high in salicylate. That means I have to avoid it topically.
Thank you for telling us about Manuka honey for eyes.
Can it change eye colour?
Hi Dr. A., Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have glaucoma, elevated ocular pressures and early stages of macular degeneration. Both eyes have undergone cataract surgery and I'm 80 y.o. I started this drop about 2 weeks ago, and it does sting, but I tolerate it. My main question is...how long do you really recommend that the drops be in each eye? You do say 20-30 seconds in the video, but I wonder if doubling that duration helps. I'm already on Alphagan and Xalatan but do not use those close to the times that I instill the Optimel drops. Cheers.
Does it change the eye colour? i saw some people who used it saying it did
I will probably order these, I also keep a sqeeze tube of raw organic honey in my shower and wash my face and eyelids/lashes with it in the shower, helps a lot.
Thanks for this vid. My skin and hair reacts well to oil based products, so why wouldn't an oil based eye drop have the potential of having a good effect as well? As a long time sufferer of dry eyes, this is actually the first product I've tested that has helped. It makes a noticeable difference, and puts all the other fancy eye drop products in my cabinet to shame. Warm compresses, massages, eye lid cleansing, gel drops, 3 in 1 solution eye drops, concentrated omega 3 supplements, dietary changes, humidifiers etc. never made any meaningful difference to my dry eyes. This actually does. Can't recommend this product enough.
Wow ! Thank you so much for sharing this! Often oil based products do help with dry eyes, mostly for people with mixed or evaporative dry eye issues.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Again, thank you for this! I live in Norway, and we've had a lot of cold and dry weather during the winter, sometimes reaching -20 degrees celsius. Usually my eyes would struggle, but this winter my eyes have been more moist than during last summer. These eye drops has made such a big difference to my quality of life. Just thought you should know that. Wouldn't have happened (at least not so soon) without your help. Cheers!
@@xytheon mnuka honey Drop?
I ordered them and am excited to use something more natural, thank you for bringing this to our attention! They really sting terrible and can’t use more then once a day as so painful. I read there is a gel without preservatives, do they not sting? How are they to use? Thank you
The gel stings more
Manuka honey only comes from New Zealand. Manuka is a New Zealand Maori word. Australia is trying to produce a similar product.
Thank you for sharing this!!
Of course! Happy to help!

Do you have an update for us on how the manuka honey eye drops are working for you? 😁 Thanks for making such informative videos!
Love your channel!! So I’m taking doxycycline and using azithromycin eyedrops right now for 60 days. Would it be OK to add my honey eyedrop now or should I wait until I’m done with my current regimen? TYIA😊
Hey thanks for asking! I do think you should talk to your local doctor about it (I know I would appreciate it if a patient I was treating would call and let me know or ask). The only issue with starting a new treatment/drop is how do you know which treatment is really helping?? Perhaps finishing one treatment first before starting a second.
Either way, wishing you success!
Can I use Manuka honey directly in my eyes
I have used it mixed with distilled water as either drops or an eye wash. I make it fresh every time to avoid bacteria. I’m not an eye doctor but I did consult my eye doctor before using it, and he said it shouldn’t hurt. It has been fine for me and has caused no problems. I have a book about honey uses, and the ancient Egyptians used to use honey to clear eye infections etc. It’s not a new thing, I guess. :)
I actually ordered them and received them when you uploaded the video. However, I saw they have preservatives and will just use them for a month once per day. Would you recommend this drops if you have damaged nerves?
Where did you purchase your drops from and did they work for you?
@@mariaa.bryson8126 Yes I use the gel (not the drops). They are stronger and have no preservatives
Thank You for This 🙌🏽❤️
Sure thing!!
Wow, it's pretty pricey too!
Hi I'm from South Africa,will I get it in pharmacies
Hi Doctor Allen, It’s not pure Manuka honey with added ingredients isnt it better to buy pure Manuka honey and apply on the eyes?
I tried using plain honey as eye drops with, what I’d have to call, undesirable results. Kidding
is this really can change eye color?
Can this help reduce swelling around my eye

Have you covered Jimerito Honey?
I'm with these 👍🏼comments regarding your videos...I just recently went to see my ophthalmologist for new glasses. She identified the feeling I asked you about many months ago and it is the dry eyes.
She gave me a sample of drops w/o
Preservatives. I used it a couple of times, but didn't feel right. I was looking for another healing property for my eyes. I just ordered this. Again, along with the others, a huge thank you for your help. Don't stop and TMH bless you😊
