GAME OF CONES! 🗡️🛡️

My very talented patient, Wendy, made this beautiful painting for the office one week after her cataract surgery! 😍
If you have seen my office you’ll know that these colours are exactly our theme. Thank you Wendy!!

Here's an ophthalmic fact for the day 🎓

In Australia, pterygiums more commonly affect the right eye than the left eye! 👁️

This is likely because we sit on the right hand side of the car when driving 🚗 and therefore most Australian’s get more sunlight exposure on the right side of their face.

Left eye pterygiums are more common in countries with left-hand-drive cars. Interestingly, the lifetime effect of asymmetric sun ☀️ exposure through our driver’s side window can become quite obvious in those that drive as a profession.

Dr Nick Andrew has successfully treated thousands of pterygiums. If you have a pterygium and would like to understand your treatment options please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with him at his Gold Coast clinic today.

Get your eyes looking and feeling great!

These day's there are lots of fashionable choices when it comes to picking out a pair of glasses. 👓

But… it would still be nice not to have to wear them very often! ✔️

Surgical vision correction provides this opportunity. 👁️

You could dramatically reduce your need for glasses, or even live glasses free!

Dr Nick Andrew and his team at Sight Specialists are able to help you achieve this.

Using the latest diagnostic technology, they can advise you on your suitability for each different procedure, and the best treatment option for your eyes and visual goals.

Furthermore, Dr Nick Andrew is often able to treat patients that have been told they are not suitable for LASIK.

It's a permanent investment in your lifestyle.

Why not make an appointment today?

Like many of his patients, Dr Nick Andrew loves the lifestyle that the Gold Coast provides him and his young family. ☀️🐬

A former Australian Team rower, he has always loved water sports. Nowadays that includes swimming in the ocean.🏊‍♂️

This isn't just about exercise for his body, but also for his eyes! 👁️

Spending time in the great outdoors, away from focusing on screens, and with a variety of focal points, can help to keep your eyes healthy too!

But one thing - on really sunny days protect your eyes with goggles or sunglasses!😎

This slows the progression of cataract, pterygiums, and possibly macular degeneration.

Here's an interesting question - do your retinas get sunburnt?

Staring at the sun will cause retinal injury, but that is a thermal burn, not a UV burn. No UV light reaches our retina, because the natural lens of the eye blocks it. And when a person has their lens replaced with cataract surgery, their new artificial lens implant has a UV filter!

OPTICAL BIOMETRY WITH THE IOL MASTER 700 ✅

What you just watched is the entire testing sequence of the Zeiss IOL Master 700, one of the many amazing technologies that are used at Sight Specialists. ✔️

The technology is incredible, and it's beautiful to look at too…✨

In a matter of seconds, the device measures the precise dimensions of the entire eye, as well as the curvature of the anterior and posterior cornea. Optical biometry is an essential step in planning many eye surgeries.👁️

Since it's so important, I don't just use this device, but I use a total of 5 devices on every patient. Each device provides specific information and cross-checks the others.

The results are spectacular - like this device! 👍
