What is the honey eye drop trend? ‘Could be harmful side effects’
Aug 6, 2024
Oh, honey, no!
TikTok is abuzz with a painful new wellness hack that promises eye problems can be cured with raw honey.
Acolytes claim that a few excruciating drops of Jimerito raw honey applied to the eyes can rid them of floaters — the dark dots that cloud vision — and even clear glaucoma and cataracts.
Jimerito honey, which retails for as much as $80 a bottle, is harvested from stingless bees.
Honey drop advocates maintain that it contains a glucose molecule called trehalose that helps cells hold moisture and alleviates dry eyes, a condition that occurs when the eyes aren’t producing enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to gritty, painful agitation.
One particularly convincing honey eye devotee explains, “It contains flavonoids that protect your eyes from oxidative stress. Raw Jimerito honey contains a wide range of amino acids that help rebuild damaged tissue.”
He adds, in a conspiratorial tone, “Doctors would never tell you this, but people have removed their floaters after one use. When you apply one small drop in each eye, it will stimulate your tear ducts, helping to remove mucus from behind your eyes.”
Yet, as many, many TikTok videos show, the treatment seriously stings.
In one clip, an herbal practitioner shared footage of a woman howling in pain after having the honey eye drops administered. He captioned the clip with the claim that the drops can “clear vision,” “increase vision range” and “fix ear ringing.”
