Hi Pythonidler, i wish i did more Doc's in UK who do probing - apart frm the one mentioned above. i have no idea or where i could find such information!
I was hoping someone on this site could give me more names!
If i draw a blank then i will have to try David O'Brart - though he is expensive and based miles away (in London) from me.

Hi Liz,

http://www.davidobrart.co.uk/contact.html in London.
You may call his Office asking for other probing ophthalm in the UK.
Or ask at
http://www.rheinmedical.com for distributers of the needles in England.
If many glands are obstucted by hard plugs and micro fibriotic membranes, probing is the only one Treatment to re-open the glands.

Of the about 30 probing ophthalm in Europe that I do know, only a very few are performing the probing according to the rules in a optimized way.

First warming-up the lids, then the careful probings, then warming-up again the lids and manual expression very slowly all glands or applying Lipiflow.
At home applying Azyter drops and steriod ointment for one week at the lid margins.

Wow - if you do know that many doctors who do probing - can you share some with the forum? Rhein Medical recently stopped giving out information about doctors who do probing.

Has anyone in the UK had this procedure?

If so, where and who did it and has it been successful?

What is the cost?

Any info appreciated

Thanks
