Join Us for the In-Person Workshop
On 20 March from 17:00 – 19:00, at The Hotel Retreat at Elcot Park, Newbury, Dr. Radka Toms will guide you through the emerging science connecting nutrition, gut health, inflammation, and dry eye disease.
This session will explore how targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies influence the biological systems that protect the ocular surface, tear film, and skin.

If you live with dry eye, you know how exhausting it can be.
Burning, grittiness, redness.. Eyes that feel constantly irritated or tired.
Many people rely on drops, ointments, or medications just to get through the day. Sometimes they help. Often, the relief is temporary. Over time, many people begin asking the same question: Why do my eyes keep becoming inflamed?
Emerging research suggests that dry eye is often not only a problem of the eye surface. It can also reflect deeper imbalances in the body. The health of the ocular surface is closely connected to inflammation, metabolic balance, immune regulation, and gut health.
When these systems become disrupted, the consequences may appear in tissues that are highly sensitive to inflammation, such as the eyes and the skin.
This is why dry eye frequently appears alongside conditions like:

This is why dry eye frequently appears alongside conditions like:
• ocular rosacea and facial flushing
• meibomian gland dysfunction
• chronic inflammatory sensitivity of the skin and eyes
• meibomian gland dysfunction
• chronic inflammatory sensitivity of the skin and eyes
Medication has an important role, but without addressing the underlying metabolic and inflammatory drivers, many people remain trapped in a cycle of flare-ups.
This workshop explores a different question.
What if the path to calmer eyes begins in the gut?
During This Workshop You Will Learn
• why dry eye is often linked to inflammation elsewhere in the body
• how gut health influences the immune and inflammatory pathways affecting the eyes
• why dry eye and rosacea frequently occur together
• how nutrition can support tear film stability and ocular surface health
• the role of blood sugar balance and micronutrients in eye health
• practical strategies to calm inflammation and support healing from within
You will also hear Dr. Toms’ personal story of how addressing gut health helped resolve her own dry eye and rosacea.

This Workshop Is For You If
✔️ your eyes feel dry, burning, gritty, or irritated
✔️ you have been diagnosed with dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction
✔️ you experience rosacea or sensitive skin alongside eye symptoms
✔️ you want to understand the deeper causes of chronic inflammation
✔️ you are interested in a science-based, root-cause approach to healing

A Different Way to Think About Eye Health
Dry eye affects millions of people, yet many patients feel frustrated with treatments that only manage symptoms. Understanding the connection between the gut, immune system, inflammation, and the eyes may offer a new way forward.
Sometimes the journey toward more comfortable eyes begins not with another eye drop, but with restoring balance inside the body.
If this resonates with you, I would love you to join us.
