Is it exactly like the the drops version only without the preservative?

I think so. Although the ingredients are not completely specified, unlike the drops which list a preservative most of the contents of the gel are 980 milligrams of honey per gram of product. And the precautions say " do not use if you are hypersensitive to bee products or food gums". So I infer that the other 20 milligrams are food gums. Hope that helps. BTW it stings like hell, but only for about 5-10 seconds and works for me.... I do wish they had buffered the gel which would likely reduce the sting.

What are the ingredients in these eye drops apart from honey?

Manuka honey, sodium chloride, glycerol, sodium benzoate (preservative)

Should the tube and lid be sealed together when newly opened?

Yes the lid is attached to a ring below it. When you undo the lid for the first time the seal on the ring breaks then the ring can be removed
