Body Doctor events at 100% Optical

Meet Dr Hilary Jones

TV’s Dr Hilary Jones will help the Body Doctor mark its 10th anniversary at 100% Optical late this month.

A meet and greet with the celebrity GP, including a complimentary drink, will kick off the birthday on Saturday 23 April.

The company’s stand will feature live demonstrations of the NuLids electronic eyelid hygiene device for the management of dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and blepharitis. A competition to win the device on Saturday and Sunday will include prizes worth a total of £700.

Andrew Price, the Body Doctor’s head of professional services, will host an hour-long session in the dispensing workshop at 5pm Saturday, looking at the clinical and financial impact of contact lens discomfort. 

Show visitors will be offered sample bags of the Eye Doctor products, including the latest additions to the range. Practices can also register their interest in the firm’s contact lens care programme.

Dr Jones will highlight the Sterileyes anti-bacterial compresses for dry eye disease, MGD and blepharitis. The Eye Doctor will also launch two new products – an eye health food supplement and hayfever relief eyelid wipes.

The company recently won a business award, and was cited as one of the fastest growing companies in Yorkshire. The Ward Hadaway Yorkshire Fastest 50 Awards highlights some of the most successful businesses in the region. 

Managing director and co-founder, Sue Grant, said “This award is recognition of the company’s core value of always having the patient’s needs at the forefront of our minds.”
