The hottest week of the year and our patients still showed up — you absolute legends!

You could have been in a paddling pool or down at the sea, but instead you chose us. We like to dream that sitting in our mobile air conditioned examination room was one of the coolest decisions you made this week😂❤️

What a week at our specialist Dry Eye Clinic!

Our team has been busy delivering some of the most advanced dry eye treatments available — Lacrifill ( we are the first in the Southwest to be using this alternative to punctum plugs), Lacrimal Lavage, and Light Therapy have been prominent features this week— for both our patients and some of our own team members too. Because we believe in what we do, and we use it ourselves.

The outcomes have been genuinely rewarding. Patients are feeling real, lasting comfort and — importantly — significantly less reliance on eye drops. That’s our problem-solving eye care in action and such a joy to be achieving.

Drops can help, but they don’t always address the cause. Our specialist treatments are designed to do exactly that.
If dry, uncomfortable eyes are affecting your daily life why not book an appointment with us
