Imagine having to see the world in blur. Everyday details: the smile of a loved one, the colors of a sunset, your favourite foods and moments, all unclear.

This World Sight Day, the NU Eye Care team would like to leave you with a reminder that our eyes like every other part of us require attention, and healthy habits to keep them functioning at their best.

Simple choices, like taking breaks from screens, reading in proper light, staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and keeping up with regular eye exams, can make a world of difference.

As your ophthalmologist, I take pride in not just treating eyes, but caring for the person behind them.

Your vision is precious, and together, we can protect it for years to come. Have any questions for our Team? Call/WhatsApp 298-6668.

Locations: San Juan, St. Augustine, Couva and St. Clair.

We at St. Augustine Private Hospital mourn the loss of Dr. Dorothy Williams-Chandler — a devoted physician, shareholder, and beloved member of the medical fraternity.

Her compassion and dedication will be deeply missed, but her legacy of service will live on. 🕊️💚

You might have seen it in the mirror; a small, fleshy growth creeping in from the corner of your eye toward the center.

That growth is called a Pterygium, and while it often starts off looking like a little bump, it can bring irritation, redness, and eventually interfere with your vision.

Living in sunny, windy climates like ours, makes it even more common, and for many people, it can become more than a cosmetic concern

If you’ve noticed this change in your eyes, let’s talk about the next step toward relief and clarity. NU Eye Care offers safe and effective pterygium surgery to remove these growths and help restore your clear, healthy vision.

At times, our eyes can feel itchy, tired, or watery, and before we even think twice, our fingers are right there rubbing away.

While this might provide instant relief, the reality is, your eyes are extremely delicate and rubbing them can create problems down the road.

Instead, next time that annoying itch creeps in, pause. Grab some soothing drops, try a cool compress, or simply close your eyes for a quick reset.

Have you been noticing halos or glowing rings around lights, especially at night? This could be an early sign of cataracts, a condition that gradually clouds your vision.

Don’t ignore these symptoms. Early diagnosis through a simple eye exam can make all the difference and help keep your vision clear for years to come

Eye makeup can be part of a healthy routine if it is used correctly.

Poor hygiene, expired products, or skipping removal can put your eyes at risk for irritation and infection.

Prioritize clean habits and proper application to keep your vision safe and your eyes looking their best!

Something we often remind our patients of, is that growth isn’t always linear and that there will be moments where you stumble, revert to old patterns, or question your progress.

Though it might feel like it, these roadblocks are never indicative of failure or returning to square one. Every experience (even the difficult ones) adds to your self-awareness and resilience.

The process of learning includes mistakes, setbacks, and pauses.

So, with that in mind, give yourself permission to be human. Trust that each step, even the ones that feel shaky, is still part of your journey forward.

Growth lives in persistence, not perfection.

Ever end the day with tired, burning eyes, blurred vision, or even a headache you can’t quite explain? That might be eye strain creeping in and your screen habits are likely the culprit.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and the good news is, a few simple adjustments can make a big difference.

Sit at the right distance from your screen, adjust your lighting to avoid glare, follow the 20-20-20 rule, and use lubricating drops if your eyes feel dry. Easy!

NU Eye Care is the name and world class, Consultant-Delivered Care is the game!

Ever been on a plane and felt reassured knowing that the captain was flying? That’s Consultant-delivered care, where the most experienced doctor is hands-on, guiding your journey from takeoff to landing.

Now, imagine the captain’s just supervising from the cockpit while a junior pilot flies. That’s Consultant-led care, where the Consultant is in charge, but you’re seen by a trainee under their guidance.

Both can get you safely to your destination but knowing and relying on who’s at the controls makes all the difference!
