What You Need to Know About Cataract Surgery
Cataracts cause cloudy vision, making everyday tasks difficult — but the good news is, surgery is safe, quick, and highly effective.

What to Expect:
Outpatient procedure (you go home the same day)
Painless with local anaesthesia
Your cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial one
Vision improves within days!

Most people experience brighter, sharper vision and a major boost in quality of life. If blurry vision is affecting your daily routine, it might be time to ask about cataract surgery.

Did you know? Retinol can sometimes make the surface of your eyes feel dry.

Tip: If your eyes feel dry after using a cream with retinol, apply a lubricating eye drop along with your eye cream to keep them comfortable.

Keratoconus is an eye condition where the cornea (the clear front surface of your eye) thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. This irregular shape makes it harder for the eye to focus, leading to blurry or distorted vision.

Early detection is important!

As we age, our eyes go through changes — some normal, some that need attention.
Here are a few conditions to look out for:

Cataracts – Cloudy vision that develops slowly over time
Glaucoma – Increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve
Dry Eye Syndrome – Often caused by screen time, age, or environment
Presbyopia – Difficulty focusing on near objects (hello, reading glasses!)
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – Affects central vision

Regular eye exams help detect these early. Don’t wait until symptoms worsen — prevention is key to protecting your sight.

The 28th of September marked World Retina Day — a day dedicated to celebrating the most delicate tissue in the eye. The retina is a literal extension of the brain and is responsible for the actual “seeing” that happens in the eye. Truly majestic!

Eye appointments are an opportunity to protect your vision, detect early signs of disease, and ensure your eyes stay healthy for the long term. To help you get the most out of your visit, here are five things every patient should know:

1. Bring Your Current Glasses or Contact Lenses
2. Share Your Medical History
3. Expect Dilation (Sometimes)
4. Write Down Your Questions
5. Eye Exams Aren’t Just for Glasses

Being prepared for your eye appointment helps you and your doctor work together for the best outcomes. A little preparation can make a big difference in protecting your sight for years to come.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
Retinoblastoma is the most common type of eye cancer in children and accounts for about 2% of all childhood cancers.

Symptoms include:
• A white colour in the centre circle of the eye (pupil) when light is shone in the eye, such as when someone takes a flash photograph of the child.
• Eyes that appear to be looking in different directions.
• Poor vision.
• redness.
• Eye swelling.

With treatment, children with retinoblastoma that has not spread to other parts of the body have a 96.5% survival rate at 5 years.

If you are concerned, don't delay! Contact us to book a consultation:

It’s spring time and although the beautiful warm weather and pretty blossoming plants are wonderful, they do come with the potential for itchy eyes.

Seasonal allergic Conjunctivitis is the most common type of allergy that affects the eyes. This type of conjunctivitis occurs more commonly in the spring when grass, tree, flower, and ragweed pollens are abundant. Lids may be swollen and eyes red and itchy.

Treatment often includes allergy eye drops, applying cool compresses to the eyes, taking antihistamines and decreasing contact lens wear. However, if symptoms persist for an extended period of time after treatment, you should have your eyes examined by your ophthalmologist, as there could be a more serious eye problem.

It’s real. And more common than you think.
Whether you're working, scrolling, or streaming, prolonged screen time can take a toll on your eyes.

Symptoms include:
- Dry, irritated eyes
- Headaches
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Difficulty focusing

One simple way to protect your eyes is the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet (6 metres) away for 20 seconds. This small habit can help relax your eye muscles and reduce digital eye strain.

Bonus tips:
- Blink often
- Adjust screen brightness
- Use blue light filters if needed
- Maintain a healthy distance from your screen

Your eyes work hard for you, give them the break they deserve.
