Mission and Vision Statements
Our Vision
To work with eye health professionals to raise awareness within the general population of the benefits of performing daily eyelid hygiene, both as a remedial solution to an existing condition and also as a preventative measure. The focus in the industry, is generally on how to treat occurrences of MGD, Blepharitis and Dry Eye Disease. We have seen a dramatic increase over the years in using various forms of technology such as smart phones and computers and also an increase in prescribed medication. These factors and an aging population are all contributors to a variety of eye conditions, consequently it is inevitable that we continue to see a rapid increase in the number of sufferers. Whilst our products offer a treatment for these conditions, our focus is on educating people on the need for daily eyelid hygiene as routine, to help prevent the symptoms and conditions from arising as we age. Our vision is to contribute to reduce the currently increasing number of patients around the world.
Our Mission
We are eyelid hygiene specialists. Our hot eye compresses are the market leaders in providing innovative, uniquely designed, clinically proven treatments for a range of eye complaints, which we are proud to supply globally. With an aging population around the world, our products, in partnership with the healthcare professionals, provide solutions for the increasing number of patients suffering with a variety of debilitating conditions. We provide a healthy, creative work environment and offer top quality products and educational programmes to Ophthalmologists and eye care retailers. The Body Doctor was created to offer the best treatment options for MGD, Blepharitis and Dry Eye Disease patients, at a cost effective price and lead the way in continual innovation.
