The purpose of the eyelids is to protect the eyes. Their appearance is also important as the first thing we look as is someone’s eyes and eyelids. Mr Lin will examine you before discussing your needs in detail and the best treatments for you. He has a strong background in teaching which allows him to explain with clarity.
Mr Lin leads the Oculoplastic (eyelid) service at Colchester Eye Centre and performs hundreds of eyelid operations each year including using electrosurgery to aid faster recovery. He utilises modern techniques to minimise scarring and maximise a natural look.
Dear Mr Lin and his team, I’ve been meaning to write this for ages. But this comes with very sincere thanks to all the staff who were involved in operating on my eyebrow ptosis. For the the kindness and care you took to make me feel comfortable while in your care. Many thanks.

Dear Mr Lin, On November 2nd you removed a cyst on my eyelid. Although it was small, it caused me a lot of discomfort. Now I’m really grateful that it’s gone and I want to thank you for the swift professional removal! It is healing well. Yours faithfully.
Mrs AW
