“…With more than 300 biologically active components, propolis has thus far been shown to be effective in treating various ocular diseases in animal and in vitro models [16]. Its efficacy in ocular diseases is likely attributable to its antiglaucoma, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing agent, and neuroprotective properties [16][17][18]170].…”

“…Amniotic membrane is avascular, rich in antiangiogenic factors, inhibits proteinase activity when transplanted to the cornea, and reduces neovascularization and fibrosis while inducing epithelization [175,176]. Previous studies showed that the combination of amniotic membrane and propolis successfully treated subacute alkaline burns of the cornea, accompanied by faster regression of the defect area [170].…”

Therapeutic Potential of Honey and Propolis on Ocular Disease

Honey and propolis have recently become the key target of attention for treating certain diseases and promoting overall health and well-being. A high content of flavonoids and phenolic acids found in both honey and propolis contributes to the antioxidant properties to scavenge free radicals. Honey and propolis also exhibited antibacterial effects where they act in two ways, namely the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acids following the enzymatic activities of glucose oxidase, which exerts oxidative damage on the bacteria. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects of honey and propolis are mainly by reducing proinflammatory factors such as interleukins and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Their effects on pain were discovered through modulation at a peripheral nociceptive neuron or binding to an opioid receptor in the higher center. The aforementioned properties of honey have been reported to possess potential therapeutic topical application on the exterior parts of the eyes, particularly in treating conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, and corneal injury. In contrast, most of the medicinal values of propolis are beneficial in the internal ocular area, such as the retina, optic nerve, and uvea. This review aims to update the current discoveries of honey and propolis in treating various ocular diseases, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-nociceptive properties. In conclusion, research has shown that propolis and honey have considerable therapeutic promise for treating various eye illnesses, although the present study designs are primarily animal and in vitro studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to translate this finding into a clinical setting.
