Our Clinical Lead

Consultant Opthalmologist, Mr Myer Mark Yodaiken, opened the Dry Eyes Clinic to provide a specialist service to those suffering with dry eyes. It was his own experience which alerted him to the need for a dedicated dry eye provision.

The clinic, based in Manchester, offers a comprehensive service to sufferers of Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). As a leading dry eye specialist, Mr Yodaiken brings considerable expertise to his patients.

Mr Yodaiken combines expert knowledge and skills with compassion and understanding. He has a holistic approach to treatment, advising on lifestyle and diet measures as well as all clinical and pharmaceutical treatments. Scroll down to read more about our dry eye assessments.

Our Assessments

Before you come in, you will be sent a link to complete a detailed questionnaire to collect symptom information and your overall medical history.

The assessment itself consists on two parts and takes over an hour to ensure it is as comprehensive as possible.

Step 1 – Dry eye analysis

Objective testing, using a dry eye analyser, is undertaken and a report produced for the clinician. Included is:

Tear break-up time
Non-invasive tear break-up time
Schirmer’s testing
Tear meniscus height measurement
Meibomian gland imaging to check gland structure and identify any atrophy

Step 2 – Assessment and consultation

During your consultation, your dry eye analysis and meibography results will be reviewed with you.

The clinician will also undertake:

Examination of eyelids and glands openings to identify any abnormalities
Meibomian gland expression to ascertain oil volume and quality
Test probe of one or two glands to see if internal blockages are present
Detailed information outlining all findings and treatment options

You will be encouraged to share any particular concerns or additional information.

The clinician will then discuss the treatment options available and advise which would be most likely to be of benefit to you. Recommendations will take the individual findings in your case into account, as well as what matters most to you. You will be able to ask questions and raise concerns.

Following your appointment, you will receive a detailed report, including your gland images, and a quotation for any treatment that has been recommended. You are welcome to get in touch with any questions, which we will be happy to answer, and you will never be pressured to proceed with any treatment.

Our Treatments

At the Dry Eyes Clinic, treatment is only undertaken if our clinicians are satisfied that it is likely to benefit you.

It is true that we have a wide range of treatments available. However, it is the extensive experience and knowledge that sets us apart from other clinics. Mr Yodaiken is recognised as a leading dry eye expert in the UK and has developed his own protocols, based on years of treating dry eye patients.

Depending on your individual circumstances, we might recommend one or more of the following treatment options which we have available:
