Wellington Eye Clinic

The only way is forward. We’re going through a rebranding process with the infinitely talented Matthew Ray Scott and Amanda Cardwell Carones MPH and can’t wait to share their concept for the Wellington Eye Clinic. Everyone in our team grasped and loved it immediately. New photos always help and we were spotted from a distance going through the process. Stay tuned for a reveal in the coming days.

Thank you Rod Solar! I hope that this article resonates with colleagues performing lens replacement surgery, both for cataract and refractive purposes. The playbook that Rod created is simple to follow and hopefully you find it useful.

We all have to get our house in order regarding sustainability in medicine, healthcare, and ophthalmology. The Irish College of Ophthalmologists's recent conference in Westport had a session dedicated to this with excellent speakers. I tackled a different issue: the sustainability of ophthalmology with the growing demand thanks to the ageing population and decreasing workforce (ophthalmologists). More ophthalmologists are retiring than trainees entering the field. With improved system design, AI use, and enhanced collaboration with optometry, we can address this ever-increasing demand-supply mismatch.

After 30 years doing LASIK and phakic IOLs, I still learn something from attending meetings. The AIER 4th International Refractive Surgery Symposium in Changsha, China, did not disappoint. In fact, it did the exact opposite. We’ve seen the future! As a newly elected member of the AIER Global Refractive Surgery Advisory Council, I could not be more optimistic about the future of vision correction. Xie Xie to the AIER leadership for this kind invitation and significant honour. #AierChangsha

It is with profound gratitude and a sense of humility that I find myself included on this prestigious list. May we continue to learn, grow, and uplift one another, for greatness lies not only in accolades but in our shared journey of discovery. May we keep our duty and responsibility to our patients our top priority. Thank you The Ophthalmologist !

Each year Doctors’ Day is marked on the 30th March and we celebrate our doctors around the world. 💙 In Ireland today, over 300,000 people are employed in healthcare. Over 20,000 of these are medical doctors. Doctors in Ireland can be General Practitioners (GPs) or be specialised in any one of many healthcare disciplines, working in a variety of settings, including hospitals. Today we take this opportunity to express our appreciation to our doctors for their dedication, compassion and commitment to healthcare. Most especially our doctors, consultants, surgeons and physicians here in Beacon Hospital and the incredible GPs in our community! 💕 We are so lucky to have so many hard-working, dedicated, wonderful doctors as part of our team providing an excellent standard of care to all our patients.
