Not long left to bid on paintings

Returning Vision is a charitable organisation formed over a decade ago by Cardiff Optometrist Peter Hong. They aim to bring a higher level of eye care to less developed Countries such as Malawi Romania and Moldova. Often taken for granted in our society, the services the charity provide are to be considered life changing.

The artist Jane Brown, who works for the Matheson Optometrist group has kindly donated the paintings to help raise funds to support future trips and to continue the great work for the less fortunate.

THIS AUCTION ENDS ON MONDAY 8TH DECEMBER AT 5.00PM

Punctal plug fitting and removal video now on youtube


Andrew Matheson, a Therapeutic Optometrist and Dry Eye Specialist, shows how different types of punctal plugs are fitted and removed.

Punctal plugs are a very important part of dry eye treatment and work by reducing the outflow of tears through the lacrimal drainage apparatus. 
Here we see the fitting and removal of Herrick Intracanalicular plugs and Eagle Vision Freeman-type punctal plugs. Later punctal cautery is discussed.

More information can be found on the Matheson Optometrists website and also on the UK dry eye forum, dryeyeforum.co.uk
