Diagnosis and treatment of dry eye syndrome
Our Dry Eye Clinic is a referral and self-referral service for clinicians and patients, delivering rapid assessment, clear diagnosis and dependable management of dry eye syndrome.
Led by experienced optometrists, the clinic combines the latest diagnostic technology with same-day treatment planning – allowing you to refer with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays in care.
This one-stop service is ideal for patients whose symptoms are affecting their quality of life, as well as for those who require dry eye management ahead of ophthalmic surgery.
Appointments are held weekly on Fridays from 9am to 4pm at The London Clinic Eye Centre, located on Harley Street. Where appropriate, patients are referred to our consultant ophthalmologists for further care.
We offer flexible appointment times to suit a range of schedules and aim to minimise wait times wherever possible.
Our Dry Eye Clinic assessments are £300, with follow-up appointments charged at £170.

Our Dry Eye Clinic can be used by both patients who want to refer themselves and through referral from healthcare professionals (including GPs, optometrists and consultants). We welcome both insured and self-pay patients.
The service is open to dry eye patients at every stage – whether first signs of symptoms, pre-surgery planning or for extra support with ongoing condition management.
We also welcome those looking for a second opinion or further assessment after a dry eye diagnosis. Some are referred by their doctor, while others choose to come to us directly. Our team can offer reassurance, review current treatment plans or suggest new ways to manage ongoing symptoms.
We currently do not have a waiting list for our Dry Eye Clinic appointments. We aim to see all patients as soon as we can to ensure prompt care is received.
