About Body Doctor
The Body Doctor Ltd was founded in 2012 by Sue Grant and her two sons, Adam & Sam Wymer. Sterileyes/Polygiene overcomes the difficult challenge of creating an antibacterial fabric that is strong enough to kill bacteria, while also being completely safe to use on and around the eyes. It creates a significant differentiation to all other eye compresses that do not have an anti-bacterial quality. The Eye Doctor is designed to treat some of the most common eye diseases and complaints, like Dry Eye Disease. The AB Mask was created in July 2019. A member of staff that suffers with Cystic Fibrosis asked the company to make a face mask using our antibacterial fabric. As a result, his CF Consultant requested a supply for his patients, we subsequently donated these to the hospital and also the Cystic Fibrosis Care Charity. 2020 of course has seen the Coronavirus pandemic, we have increased production on the AB Mask and now sell the product into general markets as well.
