The Effect of Manuka Eye Drops on Tear Film Properties
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Optimel Antibacterial Manuka+ Dry Eye Drops and Systane Ultra Lubricating Eye Drops for Dry Eye Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Traditionally, Manuka honey has been used to combat against bacteria and reduce inflammation (the body's way of reacting to infection, irritation or other injury). Due to the inflammatory nature of dry eye, Manuka eye drops show promise as a treatment for dry eye disease. The aim of this research is to compare the effects of two over the counter eye drops that are used to treat dry eye conditions over a one month period.
