What our clients say

***** As always, Fay is very polite and helpful. This was my third session of the Low Level Light Therapy and the Active Heat and Massage. I am feeling 95 % better than when I started the therapy. I would really, really recommend to go to see Fay is you have any dry eyes symptoms. Money well spent.

***** Booking an appointment at Soothe ocular SPA was a very good decision. Fay is super professional. From the greeting at the door to the incredible and extensive knowledge an explanation of everything that is happening during the appointment. Her hygiene advice has been extremely helpful, even before I had my first LLLT treatment, I saw a change in my eyes. I am now very much looking forward to the rest of my LLLT treatments. I would really recommend to anyone that has dry eyes to book an appointment as soon as possible. I am sure you won’t regret it.

***** I have today had my 5th appointment with Fay, like all my previous appointments it was thorough, everything explained to me and good advice given. My next appointment is in 3months time, but was assured by Fay that if I had any queries before that date to contact her. I am so pleased that Fay was recommended to me, my eyes were really uncomfortable, and the improvement is amazing. I would recommend anyone with dry eyes to attend her Clinic. My grateful thanks.

I already have a diagnosis, why do I need to book an initial assessment?

In order to give you the best advice, and recommend the correct treatment for you, it is important that we have comprehensive, up to date, information about your dry eyes.  We need to have a baseline assessment, in metrics that are common to all our clients, in order to get a working diagnosis and track your progress.

What is MGD?

MGD, or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, is one of the causes of Dry Eye Disease. 

What does dry eye feel like?

Dry eye can feel hot, burny, gritty, stingy, itchy, as if you have something in your eye, or even watery, depending upon the type of dry eye that you have.

Do your eyes dry out as you age?

Yes, it is more likely that your eyes will feel drier as you age, due to hormone changes and physical changes to the structures of the eye.

Can dry eye heal on its own?

It is unlikely that dry eye will improve without you making changes to your environment, diet, stress management and ocular hygiene routines. It is a chronic condition that needs to be managed, rather than healed.

How do you fix dry eyes?

Relief for dry eyes starts with knowing what type of dry eye you have and then following a regular routine to improve how they feel; in addition you may need professional treatments to kickstart your recovery process.

What is the main cause of dry eyes?

Meibomian gland dysfunction occurs in over 85% of dry eye disease; this is when the glands in the eyelids do not produce enough of the oily layer of the tear film, or what they do produce is of poor quality, leading to inflammation of eyelids and evaporation of tears.
