COMPANY PROFILE

Waterford Mail 4 December 2014

Celia Holman Lee shares her experience of life-changing eye surgery Stunning style icon; television presenter and fashionista extraordinaire Celia Holman Lee was frustrated. She looks nowhere near her age, though she makes no secret of her 63 years, but one thing had fallen victim to the march of time – her eyesight. “I lost my ability to see things up close, and became completely reliant on reading glasses”, says Celia. “It really drove me nuts. I couldn’t read my phone, no matter how big the font was; I even had trouble putting on eye makeup using a magnifying mirror - sometimes I had to try to do it wearing the glasses!” Celia was experiencing an eye problem that happens to just about everybody over the age of 40: it’s ageing of the eye, known as Presbyopia. The muscles that usually squeeze the lens in the eye into shape, to allow you to see objects close up, become stiff and don’t work as well anymore. Most people notice they have to hold printed material at arm’s length, away from their face, in an attempt to see it clearly - this is a dead giveaway for Presbyopia. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had laser eye surgery before, or if you’ve had perfect vision all your lifePresbyopia is inevitable! Celia’s work in visual media meant she had no choice but to rely on her glasses to see. “Don’t get me started about those glasses”, she laughs. “Every day without fail I’d put them down somewhere in the ofﬁce and everyone would have to hunt madly for them, or I’d leave them behind in restaurants, or lose them at the bottom of my bag and be ﬁshing around frantically.”

Celia Holman Lee at the launch of the Presbia treatment, delighted to ﬁnally get rid of her reading glasses co-ordinated- having to add a pair of glasses to your ensemble presents an irritating lack of freedom. “I’m not anti-glasses - I think a sexy pair can be a great accessory”, explains Celia “But it’s the dependency and being forced to wear them I didn’t like. You no longer have the element of choice, and for my job, looking good is vital - how can I give a style talk with glasses on? I’d be wearing them perched on the bridge of my nose; looking down at notes and then looking up and not being able to see beyond the front row of the audience. Up, down, up down- it was so annoying”.

It’s such a clever procedure, and now I can read my iPad; texts; computer; the newspaper apps on the phone - everything.

Mr Wayne Crewe Brown, Surgeon and Medical Director with his team at Optilase “I remember once I was doing fashion workshops at Brown Thomas and forgot themtotally stuck. What can I do from there? I couldn’t read anything; I was only looking at fuzzy pictures.” Even if you wear reading glasses, you can only see about a foot on front of you so have to keep taking them off to see at different distances. Then there’s the aesthetic issue- you’re dressed beautifully and every accessory has been carefully

A revolutionary eye surgery available at Optilase, called Presbia, can turn back the hands of time and allow people with near vision problems to see perfectly, without corrective eyewear. A microscopically thin disc is slipped into place over the cornea, and it works to gather all the light entering the eye; focusing it onto the retina to allow you to form a perfectly clear image. It only needs to be inserted into one eye, and your distance vision remains unaffected. “I was excited to hear Optilase had a solution to my near vision problem” says Celia. “I was apprehensive initially - you would be when it comes to your eyes - but the Optilase team were so meticulous in explaining every detail, step by

Celia Holman Lee visited Optilase for a free consultation step, that I was reassured. Surgeon Wayne Crewe Brown was very candid – he explained it doesn’t give you back the eyesight of your youth, but it takes away the dependency on glasses.” “I felt nothing other than a slight pressure during the procedure, and it’s so quick. There’s no bandages or anything- the only thing was I couldn’t wear eye makeup for 10 days after surgery, so I went to events anyhow and explained I’d just had Presbia surgery. People were fascinated!” “It’s such a clever procedure, and now I can read my iPad; texts; computer; the newspaper apps on the phone - everything. This tiny little thing in my eye has made a massive difference in my life.” To ﬁnd out if you are eligible for this life-changing procedure, contact Optilase for a free consultation on 1890 301 302 or visit www.optilase.com

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order. One letter has already been entered. Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

Before negotiating what could be a brilliantly successful curve as the Moon becomes Full at the end of the week, it seems you’ll have to face a tricky dilemma: namely that you don’t want to be beholden to anyone, want to be free to accept a challenge – and yet. The need to know more, to understand precisely what’s gone wrong and how others intend to put things right could be so strong early in the week. Though others may be keen to get started (and finished), what you need to know is that they know what they’re doing. By the end of what promises to be a hugely busy and exciting week you could be in the spotlight – and not just because the Full Moon is in your sign (6th). Thanks to both your inspired vision and considerable hard work, you could arrive at a professional turning point. It’s entirely possible that someone close has come as far as they can with a particular task or project and that early this week they need to say so. You’ve probably seen this coming and might even be supportive of the idea of drawing a line in the sand. By next Saturday’s Full Moon Mars will have arrived in your opposite sign and yes, around then you may find others HUGELY demanding. Given that it’s your style to be generous, it might be wise to be careful what you promise early in the week just in case you can’t deliver. It would be entirely normal in any early December period to experience both career and family chaos. This year that feeling could come early: coinciding with next Saturday’s Full Moon and positive phase in two other major cycles.

Though it’s probable that there’s MUCH going on at home base, it’s equally likely that career matters will demand full attention in the days leading into Saturday’s Full Moon. The fusion by Mercury with the Sun on Monday suggests a turning point will be reached. Venus begins her annual journey through your sign and the accent turns to partnerships and those who shares your dreams. You may be ready to talk about worries that have escalated in recent weeks. Given that Mercury has been retrograde in Libra. Next Saturday’s Full Moon follows a key aspect between Venus and Jupiter and yes, you and someone close could have something to celebrate. True, this is most likely to be on the romantic front. In business terms too though joy and success seems to be in the air – possibly as a result of a partner’s salesmanship. Mars leaves your sign later this week but, before doing so, there’s a fusion between the Sun and Mercury. It may be that you’ve been fighting to have someone listen to an idea for weeks. Now it seems they’ve at last ‘got it’. Just ahead of Saturday’s Full Moon, Mars moves into your sign. Before then there’s the possibility of an altercation with a neighbour or colleague whom you may feel is acting quite illogically. By the weekend they may well agree that you were ‘right’ all along. On Saturday (December 6th), a Full Moon across the back-bone of your solar chart follows a positive aspect between Venus and Jupiter: implying fun and games. True, this could be linked to the ‘normal’ social activity at this time of year.

Book B ookk of the Week Captivated by You, by Sylvia Day Captivated by You is the latest in the multi-million copy global bestselling Crossﬁre series. “Gideon calls me his angel, but he’s the miracle in my life. My gorgeous, wounded warrior, so determined to slay my demons while refusing to face his own. The vows we’d exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and ﬂesh. Instead they opened up old wounds, exposed pain and insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shad-

ows. I felt him slipping from my grasp; my greatest fears becoming my reality; my love tested in ways I wasn’t sure I was strong enough to bear. At the brightest time in our lives, the darkness of his past encroached and threatened everything we’d worked so hard for. We faced a terrible choice: the familiar safety of the lives we’d had before each other or the ﬁght for a future that suddenly seemed an impossible and hopeless dream.”

7KH %DEDGRRN Easily the best horror film of 2014. But bolstered by knockout performances, and a mind-bending narrative, The Babadook is so much more. It’s one of the best films of the year. Occasionally, audiences are given a horror movie so raw with emotion, so provocative in its themes, and so sophisticated in its scares that it raises the bar on the genre. Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook is such a film. Delivering a gut-punch of dread, while unfurling a taboo topic with unflinching portrayals, it’ll leave you breathless. Essie Davis stars as Amelia, a widowed single-mom who is struggling to raise her 10-yearold son, Sam (Noah Wiseman), alone. The boy has behavioral problems that isolate her from friends and family, but his new obsession about monsters invading their home is pushing Amelia to the brink. Things go from bad to unbearable when

Sam discovers a pop-up book, “Mister Babadook,” that unleashes a relentless and evil creature only Sam can see. The narrative of mother versus monster is a recurring one in horror. However, the sickening and mesmerizing twist here is that Amelia hates her son. She loves him, too. But having lost her husband the day Sam was born, her child’s need for her is suffocating, sometimes literally so, as he claws himself around her as he sleeps, one small hand clutching her throat! Disliking your child is a topic too taboo for most to ever say aloud. But this wickedly smart thriller takes a cue from its littler terror and grabs the concept by the throat, and won’t let go. The Babadook is writer-director Jennifer Kent’s first feature-length film. And that’s absolutely insane. Her skill for film language, establishing set geography, developing tension, and creating com-

plex characters is far beyond what you’d expect from a firsttimer. The Babadook is damnnear perfect. And horror connoisseurs better take notice. She paints her film in cool colors, reminiscent of dark fairy tales. The corners of rooms are inky with threatening shadows. Under her direction, a quiet suburban home becomes a claustrophobic cave. The sound design throbs with danger and doom, from thumps on the walls to the goose-bumpinducing whisper of the name “Ba-ba-dook!” The creature design of her titular beast is instantly iconic. With scares that will have audiences hiding behind their hands or shrieking for help, The Babadook is easily the best horror film of 2014. But bolstered by knockout performances, and a mind-bending narrative beautifully shot and colored, The Babadook is so much more. It’s one of the best films of the year.

7KH ,PLWDWLRQ *DPH Morten Tydlum’s The Imitation Game is a firstrate biopic, a thrilling espionage game that’s beautifully crafted and acted. To speak the film’s language – one of codes cracked by mathematicians – the movie equates. It’s also every bit as touching, tragic and romantic as it is intelligent and compelling. And yes, for those who keep track of these annual marathons, it is (or should be) an Oscar contender. Picture, director, screenplay, supporting actress and actor all seem to be in play. Particularly Best Actor – yes, “Cumberbitches” – for Benedict Cumberbatch’s calculated, lean, strong and confident portrayal of brilliant mathematician Alan Turing, who is recruited by the British government during time of war to help decipher Enigma, the machine the Germans use to encode their messages. To crack Enigma might mean to drastically shorten the war. But there is a lot more happening in The Imitation Game then the war effort. “Pay attention,” we are warned, in a Sherlock-y, Khan tone. Alan Turing has secrets. Everyone has secrets at play in The Imitation Game, from the military brass who recruit Turing to the MI6 agent (Mark Strong) who shadows

his progress. B Butt ffew are quite as damaging, as life-altering as Turing’s secrets can (and will) be. If you know history, you know the progressing of this story. The Imitation Game guards its reveal until the one-hour mark, so I’ll steer clear of it for now. It will be a major talking point as the ﬁlm begins to roll out and play to larger audiences. For now, here’s what I’m comfortable telling you. It’s Cumberbatch’s show, but everyone thrives. It

i a is beautifully shot, expertly crafted period drama. It’s guilty at times of succumbing to the melodramas that most awards contenders pack. But the thick tension of the shady espionage – and the eventual explanation of Alan’s beloved Christopher – help this brilliant, engrossing and largely amazing biopic connect on a mathematical and emotional level. This is something special, without a doubt.

INGREDIENTS For the filling 60g/2oz basmati rice, cooked according to the packet instructions pinch turmeric; 1 lemon, zest only; 1 onion, finely chopped 600g/1lb 5oz brown cap mushrooms, sliced 50g/2oz butter, melted 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley; 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon; 1 tbsp dried cranberries 2 free-range eggs, hard-boiled,

chopped; salt and freshly ground black pepper For the pastry 250g/9oz ready-rolled puff pastry; 1 free-range egg, beaten 1 tsp sesame seeds; vegetarian gravy, to serve METHOD Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
