Honey drops have good anti-inflammatory action, regenerative and anti-toxic features and we recommend using them to treat eye disorders such as dry eye syndrome, keratopathy, keratitis, corneal ulcers, corneal opacities, and conjunctivitis.
Positive effect of 20 percent honey eye drops on the state of ocular microsoft tissue and the cornea in patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy was noted. An improvement of visual functions (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity) and dilatation of retinal arteries was noted in patients with myopia who used royal jelly.
In patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy who used royal jelly, an improvement of visual functions and reduction of retinal blind spot was found.
In patients with age-related macula degeneration who used royal jelly, an improvement of visual functions (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, mean threshold sensitivity of central visual field) was found.
