Here at Wellington Eye Centre we strive to bring our patients the best and latest technology. So we are pleased to announce the arrival of the eye-light®!
You may have heard of red light therapy—maybe from a skincare-obsessed friend or one of those Facebook ads. The treatment, often seen as a sleek white mask dotted with red LEDs, looks straight out of a sci-fi movie.
While it’s best known for skin benefits, recent research shows that Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), a type of red light therapy, can also help relieve dry eyes. But how exactly does it work, and is it safe?
This week we join Aotearoa in celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week).
At Wellington Eye Centre, we’re proud to support te reo as a taonga (treasure) of our culture and identity.
👁️ Did you know?
The word for “eye” in te reo Māori is karu.
The word for "laser" is taiaho.
We’d love to hear from you 👉 What’s your favourite kupu (word) in te reo Māori? Share it in the comments and let’s celebrate the beauty of the language together. 💬
