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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication of Optimel Manuka+ Dry Eye Drop 3 times daily to the inferior conjunctival fornix can significantly reduce CFUs from baseline at month 1 in the eyelids of patients with dry eye caused by tear deficiency and\/or meibomian gland disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduction 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbietz and Lenton also reported that the application of medical grade\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeptospermum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esp honey (Manuka) was associated with signficant clinical improvements in dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction.
