Out and about: Perfect Eyes First Birthday Party, Harley Street, London

Lydia Mormen, Aesthetic Medicine’s editorial assistant, attended the first birthday party of the Perfect Eyes clinic hosted by oculoplastic surgeon Mrs Sabrina Shah-Desai. The celebrations included prosecco and canapes, as well as makeovers by celebrity make-up artist, Nicola Chapman and PCA skincare specialists offering complimentary skin peels. 

A number of industry brands such as Skinade and Aesthetic Source supported the event by providing items for the goody bags and Church Pharmacy kindly sponsored the photo booth. 

The occasion was marked with a donation of £5,000 to the Akshaya Patra Foundation, which helps to provide food and education for underprivileged girls in India. 

Mrs Shah-Desai, said, “I was very fortunate growing up as my parents valued education and always supported and encouraged me. In countries around the world, children are still working to support their family to generate income. In India, the Akshaya Patra Foundation is providing funding for schools to feed children for whom a school meal might be their only meal of the day. The Akshaya Patra school lunch programme fed more than 1.6 million children in 2017.”
