Frequently Asked Questions
It is a device worn over the ear and along the eyeline designed to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
The Eye Guide MC is based on weight. The brain notices the weight of the Guide and the eye picks up the Guide in its peripheral vision. This combination of stimuli sends a signal to the brain which then enables the brain to promote better movement and
confidence.
Yes, the device has to be fitted by one of our trained specialists, as the guide part of the Eye Guide MC needs to be cut and trimmed to each individual.
At the consultation, there will be a series of tests to assess each patient. The tests will also help determine which side is best for the Eye Guide MC to be fitted on. Please get in touch with our team to arrange a consultation.
The Eye Guide MC device is a Class 1 Medical Device that is CE marked, and MHRA accredited. There is no medication, wires or surgery involved with the device. All evidence gathered to date has shown the Eye Guide MC to be a safe non-intrusive device.
£995.00 +vat (most customers are vat exempt).
Although there aren’t any guarantees that the device will work for you as every individual brain is different, there is mounting success story data.
Parkinson’s UK provided Eye Guide MC with early stage advice and support to help get the device CE safety mark assessed. Parkinson’s UK do not formally endorse the product as it is still at an early stage of development, but they are keen to follow its progress.
Sandra the founder of Eye Guide MC is also a Parkinson’s UK volunteer and works with other Parkinson’s UK volunteers to provide support to others living with Parkinson’s in her local community.
Unfortunately, we are only able to offer the Eye Guide MC device to those that have had an in-person consultation with one of our specialists as we must carry out tests and personally fit the device.

Reviews

“Since wearing the device my overall demeanour, posture, coordination, and balance appears much improved. I sense that whilst wearing it I am more in control of my overall mobility and I am not so restless when seated, I am able to stand from the seating position much more easily than previously and the majority of the time, without direct assistance! Fundamentally there appears to be an overall improvement in my Parkinson’s symptoms.”

“I thought the fitting session was extremely well run. The Eye Guide MC was tried on my left side initially but had no noticeable effect. When it was tried on the right side its effect was immediate when it was adjusted to the best position. As I unwound, I became better balanced, and my walking improved almost immediately. I have not used a stick or taken painkillers since that day.
My mood has greatly improved, and I have found my sense of humour, and I take an interest in life much more. It has brought my personality back. We have noticed that if the Eye Guide MC moves, (drops or comes unstuck) when I am wearing it the change in my footfall is quite noticeable and can be restored by a small adjustment.”

“Philip and I would like to thank Sandra, Janette and the team so much for their professionalism, compassion, patience, understanding and care which they displayed when they fitted Philip’s Eye Guide MC device.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and no question goes unanswered. Their attitude extends to the carers too.”
