With a strong focus on clinical credibility and product innovation, The Body Doctor has twice received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, in 2016 and 2022, recognising its continued commitment to advancing eye health.

 Backed by science and supported by experts in the medical field, including TV’s Dr Hilary Jones, The Body Doctor aims to raise awareness of eyecare and especially eye hygiene by delivering preventative solutions and treatments for common eye problems.

 The company achieved a major milestone in the spring of 2021 when a patent was granted for the antibacterial shield Sterileyes, an integral component of Eye Doctor hot and cold compresses which are recommended to treat evaporative dry eye, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and blepharitis. The Sterileyes solution is clinically proven to reduce bacteria by 99.9% and is bound to the fibres of the fabrics in the compress. The granting of the patent followed five years of research and development with three independent laboratories and was a major boost for the company.

 Today, The Body Doctor operates as a dynamic and fast-growing healthcare business with the company as the exclusive and sole UK distributor of the in-practice procedure ZEST and for MacuHealth, NuLids, Optimel and Meivertor. Its continued growth was recognised with a win at Yorkshire’s Fastest Growing Company Awards in 2022.
