From clinic experience to clinical practice

Every recommendation on SOS is grounded in real clinical use.

Sarah Farrant and the Earlam & Christopher dry eye team work daily with patients experiencing dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction and complex ocular surface challenges. That direct clinical experience shapes the products, procedures and treatment approaches shared throughout SOS. Charles Greenwood, Director of JCL Consulting Ltd, provides consultancy, advice and admin support for Local Optical Committees and Primary Eyecare Companies throughout the country. Together they founded SOS Opthalmic to provide acute and dry eye equipment and packs to the UK optical profession.

Rather than overwhelming practitioners with endless product choice, SOS focuses on the equipment and approaches that genuinely support diagnosis, treatment efficiency and patient compliance in practice.
