Had narrow blocked tear cuts and underwent minor procedure to have ducts stretched and plugged. This was an easy painless procedure that successfully stretched the ducts and I now have far less watery eyes.

I had bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty with Mr Tahir Farooq. Doctor was really reassuring and explained the procedure from a get go (and I was really nervous before going in). Procedure itself seems will be a success and people have mentioned what a difference it is. Thank you

I had a eyelid operation with Mr Tahir Farooq. My Entropion was fully corrected and now my eye does not water and irritate anymore. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
