My eyes are much more comfortable after meibomian gland probing and I feel so much happier knowing that Mr Longhurst is keeping a check on my eye condition. He is extremely knowledgeable and if you have dry eye I strongly recommend a visit!

Getting meibomian gland probing is the best decision I’ve ever made for my eyes and Robert was great! He really took the time to explain everything and he was so patient with me and so gentle. My eyes feel less tired and heavy now and I no longer have to use eye drops constantly!

I highly recommend this clinic to anyone with dry eye symptoms. Robert is super friendly, experienced and made me feel like I’m in safe hands. I came with severe dry eyes and have seen big improvements in less than a year. I was given punctual plugs which have helped massively!
