Albany Creek Optometrists are focussed on patient care and now they can see even more of what goes on inside your eyes. They have installed the latest in CT scanning for eyes, the Carl Zeiss Cirrus Photo 600 to take images of your macula and optic nerve. The Cirrus Photo 600 uses infra-red light to image the retina inside your eye, as well as the cornea at the front of your eye. It is also capable of taking high resolution photographs of the fundus (back of the eye), and can use a new technology called Fundus Autofluorescence to photograph the macula of your eye using a special blue wavelength light to detect early signs of macular degeneration. The Cirrus OCT can detect subtle changes at the macula when fluid starts to accumulate, and provides the best early detection of conditions such as diabetic macular oedema. As we grow older our eyes may change in ways not visible on the surface and sometimes without obvious symptoms. This new technology will further improve the detection and management of many serious and sight threatening conditions. The best way to ensure you have healthy eyes and good vision is to have a regular eye examination. Make your next eye appointment with Albany Creek Optometrists- your eyes deserve the best.

Meet Dena our Cruise Holiday Expert Dena Griffiths, a senior consultant at Helloworld Albany Creek, has a passion for cruising holidays. And it shows! Having travelled on 23 cruises to all corners of the globe, Dena has just recently returned from cruising Asia where she has completed her Masters in Cruising excellence, recognised by Cruise Lines International Association. Dena’s recent cruise was on the Royal Caribbean ship, Quantum of the Seas, cruising out of Shanghai, China.
DUTTONMP
To be honoured with the prestigious Cruise Masters award, you must have a vast knowledge of cruising throughout the world. This knowledge is obtained by many hours of online and in house training, webinars, and ship inspections. Dena also had to participate in a number of cruises to gain first hand knowledge. This has been a huge asset to Dena and ultimately her cruising clients.
Ph: 3205 9977
Cruising is a continually growing market for all ages, offering fantastic value for money and endless options for dining, shows, shore excursions and culture. You can do as much or as little as you choose, and the added bonus of unpacking once is very appealing to many travellers, making it a very relaxing holiday.

Heart Starter for Albany Creek Vets
If you have a cardiac arrest in Albany Creek, one of the best places to be is AC Vets! BLS First Aid Training is happy to announce the delivery of a HeartSine Defibrillator package to the lovely people at Albany Creek Veterinary Surgery
Albany Creek Veterinary Surgery are now proud owners of a HeartSine 500p AED, and have now helped make the area a safer place.
BLS First Aid is a local family run business who use their healthcare background to deliver First Aid & CPR training, proudly representing the North side of Brisbane. We are very passionate about getting defibrillators into the general public, in order to potentially save as many lives as possible.
Each year around 30,000 Australians experience Cardiac Arrest. This equates to one every 9 minutes. Sadly, In Australia, only 9-10% of these 30,000 people who experience Cardiac Arrest will survive. 95% of victims who die, do so before reaching hospital. When an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is used, along with early CPR, the chance of survival increases drastically to 30-40%. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how important defibrillators are to saving lives. Getting defibrillators out to as many local businesses and public areas as possible is critical to making Australia a safer place.
Albany Creek Veterinary Surgery are now proud owners of a HeartSine 500p AED, and have now helped make the area a safer place. We were asked to deliver our Nationally recognised CPR training to the staff at the Vets. This training includes the use of an Automated External Defibrillator. While training The Albany Creek Veterinary Surgery in CPR, they asked about our HeartSine defibrillators, and we were more than happy to show them.
24
We all need to be aware of the “Chain of Survival” Congratulations to Stephen Lindores and the team at Albany Creek Vets for the community spirit while we hope their defibrillator is never required but it’s good to know it’s there.

Rotary Club Albany Creek HELPING HANDS PROJECT
Prosthetic Hands for Landmine Victims The Rotary Club of Albany Creek is conducting a campaign to assist the hundreds of thousands of people in Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Laos, mostly children) who are the victims of land mines.
We are making prosthetic hands which we supply and fit to needy recipients. This necessitates the purchase of a kit from the manufacturer which we then personally assemble to make a high quality prosthetic device.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! The kit costs $350 (tax deductible) per hand, and we will be having a special working bee in April 2016 where we will be assembling the kits. You and your staff are invited to attend, to help assemble a hand. Each hand that we send and fit, will profoundly improve a person’s life.
For further information or to purchase a kit please contact: Rotarian Maria Joubert P. 0412 755 404 or Rotarian Chris Kebblewhite P. (07)3325 1097
