Cataracts are one of the most common age related eye conditions, and for many people they develop so gradually that the impact on day to day life can be underestimated.

Eamonn O’Connell, consultant ophthalmologist at Mater Private Network Cork, explains what cataracts are, how they typically progress, and why there is no fixed point at which surgery must be done. He also discusses how cataract surgery has become one of the safest and most successful procedures in modern medicine, helping many patients regain clearer vision and confidence.

If you are experiencing vision changes such as duller colours or night time glare, a consultation with our eye specialists can help you understand your options and whether treatment is right for you.

She picked up a plastic pink hammer at 12. By 21, she was competing at the Paris Olympics.

Our newest Excellence in Motion episode features a brilliant conversation between Mr. Pádhraig O’Loughlin, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Mater Private Network Cork, and Irish hammer thrower Nicola Tuthill.

Nicola’s story is remarkable, growing up on a farm, trying everything from camogie to gymnastics to horse riding before finding her event.
They talk honestly about the reality of elite sport: the injuries that knock you back, the nutrition challenges most people never consider, the importance of bone health for women in sport, and why rest and sleep are just as important as training.

A diagnosis of an inherited retinal condition can often raise important questions for the wider family.

Mr. Kirk Stephenson, consultant ophthalmologist at Mater Private Network Dublin, explains that understanding family history and genetic testing can help determine whether other relatives may also be at risk.

By identifying the underlying genetic cause, care can be tailored not only for the individual, but also to guide appropriate testing and advice for family members where needed.

Paddy Murphy had been living an active life until a health scare sent him to the Mater Private Network, where our Complex PCI team gave him a new lease of life.

Led by Dr. Colm Hanratty and Dr. JJ Coughlan, consultant cardiologists at Mater Private Network Dublin, our specialist cardiac team treat some of the most challenging heart cases in Ireland, including patients whose arteries are severely blocked or who have been told surgery isn't an option due to the risks and complexity of their condition.

As Dr. Hanratty says: "It's a satisfying job to see patients' quality of life greatly improved after treatment."

If you've been experiencing significant heart symptoms, don't ignore them. Ask your GP about a referral or a second opinion, it could make all the difference.

Should you stop walking or exercising if you have arthritis in your ankle? In many cases, the answer is no.

As part of National Arthritis Week, Mr. Adeel Memon, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Mater Private Network Cork, shares expert advice on the importance of staying active when living with ankle arthritis.

While some high-impact activities may need to be reduced or modified, continuing with low-impact movement and regular walking can often help support the muscles around the ankle and benefit overall health and well-being.

Sometimes it’s not about stopping activity altogether, it’s about finding the right way to keep moving.

Most people don't know they have heart disease until something serious happens. A cardiac CT scan can help change that.

In this video, Dr. John-Paul (JP) Carpenter, Head of Cardiac Imaging at Mater Private Network in Dublin, explains how the scan works. Using high resolution imaging, it examines the three main coronary arteries of the heart, detecting blockages, calcium build-up, and early signs of heart disease that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Identifying these risk factors early means they can be addressed before they develop into something more serious, like a heart attack or other cardiac event.
