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

PUZZLES

Waterford Mail 11 December 2014

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?

Don’t be surprised if the week begins with news from afar that infers a change of heart. Of course, it could be you who’s now doubtful as to whether you want to go ahead with a project. Whilst totally sure that you want to be part of a group preserving something very special, you might not be at all sure about motivation. Financial matters and general asset management could have your attention on Monday - which would be a good time to ‘review the books’ and check on a safety-net. You might also have reason to query someone’s expertise and whether recent changes to a schedule are beneficial. Much as you could probably do with a few days to stop, consider and think, it’s probable you’ll be caught in the fray as of Monday when it appears someone is about to go back on their word or that transportation difficulties threaten to disturb normal service. It’s entirely possible that a certain person is having a major wobble about an agreement that has enormous implications for their working arrangements. The Full Moon may have been on Saturday but the aftershocks could last until mid-week. It may be that they feel you have a magic wand and that you could make everything ‘perfect’ for them. Jupiter stations in your sign on Monday : coinciding with the Sun’s ‘fusion’ with Mercury. It’s entirely possible that you or someone close could experience a change of heart about plans - necessitating expensive changes to travel documents. It might seem to others that you’re having major doubts. Maybe you are. Maybe you need to know more. Yes, others could find your apparently incessant questioning highly irritating midweek. Yet they may be surprised by ‘truths’ that are revealed and yes, by the end of the week a change of thinking all round is probable.

SUDOKU

Don’t panic but there may be yet another decision to reach on Monday. Given all that happened in the lead into Saturday’s (6th) Full Moon this is understandable. The good news is that you don’t need to rush and can afford to take your time to think through consequences. This isn’t about pleasing others. Jupiter stations at the apex of your solar chart on Monday. As it does, the Sun and Mercury fuse in neighbouring Sagittarius. This could be a wealth-changing moment - arguably linked to news that arrived around Saturday’s (6th) Full Moon. Though true, there may still be some arguing or debate to handle midweek. It’s probable you now have MUCH to think about - and mainly as a direct result of developments in a colleague’s or partner’s life. It may be that you now have an opportunity to consider. The fact that this is likely to involve extra traveling will surely appeal. You could find yourself at the centre of a hive of activity on Monday yet still be unsure as to a game plan or objective. That might not be clear until Venus reaches your sign on Thursday. It may be that certain individuals need to feel the buzz: this may be their way of fuelling. Considerable movement is suggested at this start of this week: could be people moving in or out or simple traffic diversions that leave you aware of just how much to-ing and fro-ing is going on around you. And then there’s the possibility of news that requires you to make travel arrangements - and quickly. Much as you would surely appreciate a pause and time for reflection, that’s unlikely to be on offer. Indeed, with others discussing their plans, there’s likely to be much for you to absorb - not least the possibility of you accepting a place on a course (or teaching it) early next year.

Album of the week Damien Rice, My Favourite Faded Fantasy Damien Rice’s follow up to 2006’s 9 comes in the form of My Favourite Faded Fantasy. The album may have taken the Co Kildare man eight years to make, but it was worth the wait. The record is stuffed with the classic Rice sound that audiences fell in love with during the noughties.

Speaking of his absence Rice said: “Sometimes you have to step away from what you love in order to learn how to love it again… Any time I’d go to the studio it felt like a weight on my shoulder, like something I was supposed to be doing instead of something that I actually wanted to do.”

Gadget of the Week Hubsan X4 FPV Quadcopter (approx €229) The Hubsan X4 FPV Quadcopter is ﬁtted with a camera, allowing you to get a direct feed from the Quadcopter straight to the transmitter. Perfect for outdoors, you can soar above trees and rooftops, seeing what it sees, all thanks to the massive 4.3 inch LCD screen. Once you’ve landed from your epic ﬂight adventure

you can instantly playback your recorded footage on the remote without the need of a computer or laptop. Set in a lightweight durable airframe, the Hubsan X4 FPV Quadcopter boasts the latest in 6-axis ﬂight with adjustable gyro sensitivity for super stable ﬂight - even outdoors. All video footage can be saved onto a micro SD card in the transmitter with up to 16GB of storage.

Board Game of the Week Risk: The Walking Dead - Survival Edition (approx€44.99) In many ways, Risk: The Walking Dead - Survival Edition features the familiar Risk gameplay, with players facing off against one another in order to claim territories on a map, win bonuses, and eliminate the opponents. What differs with this game, though, is that players are battling on a map depicting the southeast region of the United States, the setting for The

Walking Dead comic series, with the map featuring 32 territories and six zones. In addition to fending off attacks from and competing for resources with the other players, they must also maintain their self-preservation from the unrelenting hordes of the undead that spawn at the start of each player’s turn and would love nothing better than to feast upon them.

Video Game of the week Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (approx €74.99) C

DVD of the Week Earth to Echo (€14.99) After a construction project begins in their neighborhood, best friends Tuck (Brian “Astro” Bradley), Alex (Teo Halm) and Munch (Reese C.

+RUULEOH %RVVHV Horrible Bosses 2 belongs to that rare collection of comedy sequels that are as good, if not slightly better, than their successful predecessors. Horrible Bosses 2 belongs to that rare collection of comedy sequels that are as good, if not slightly better, than their successful predecessors. The jokes are recycled, but still come with a twisted kick. The comedic styles of the three leads continue to gel around the movie’s dark heart, and the newcomers bring a necessary spark. There are precious few examples of comedic franchises that continue to wring laughs out of their initial premise – there are more Caddyshack 2 than 22 Jump Street -- so when one comes along, we should take celebrate it, like an unexpected deal on Black Friday. The plot of Horrible Bosses 2 ﬁnds three likeably hapless friends Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudekis)

plotting to eliminate a superior who has done them wrong. Again. The trio hasn’t learned much from the mistakes of the previous ﬁlm. They graduate from murder to kidnapping in this sequel – that might actually be a downgrade on the criminal spectrum – but not before experiencing some success.

The jokes are recycled, but still come with a twisted kick. The comedic styles of the three leads continue to gel around the movie’s dark heart, and the newcomers bring a necessary spark. There are precious few examples of comedic franchises that continue to wring laughs out of their

initial premise – there are more Caddyshack 2 than 22 Jump Street -- so when one comes along, we should take celebrate it, like an unexpected deal on Black Friday. If the Horrible Bosses team knew what they were doing, though, they’d stop now. They got away with one funny sequel, giving us more time with the off-color characters we embraced (despite their faults) in the ﬁrst movie while also coming up with just enough of a motivator to make Horrible Bosses 2 feel like less of a cheap cash grab. But you could start to see through the smokescreen in this one, and win or lose at the box office, Horrible Bosses 3 likely should never happen. As we walked out of our screening, a colleague asked my opinion. “It could have been worse. It could have been a new Hangover movie.” Let’s make sure this franchise ends on a high(ish) note, and doesn’t make that mistake.

7KH 3HQJXLQV RI 0DGDJDVFDU If you’re thankful for flighttnd less birds of action and adorability, then Penguins Of ke Madagascar just might make your Thanksgiving! an While I was never a big fan ’s of Dreamworks Animation’s re Madagascar franchise, there were two things I couldn’t n’t ut help but enjoy the hell out al of: King Julian and his royal ef court; and the comedic relief ns provided by four penguins that hatched random, Black ck e. Ops-level plans of escape. Clearly the breakout stars of ethe star-studded animal seco ries, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico ys and Private were always wo bound for greater things. Two it successful sequels and a hit ly TV show later, the boys finally ’s have their own movie, and it’s well worth the wait. Penguins Of Madagascar tells the “untold story” of how our penguin protagonists got together, but to be fair that’s only the first sequence in the film. After that, the film picks up at the end of Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, which eventually entangles the four Penguins into a bout of intrigue involving Dave (John Malkovich) – an octopus with a particular grudge against all penguin kind, and the North Wind – an elite squad of specialists lead by Classified (Benedict

Cumberbatch) who is tasked with foiling Dave’s evil plan. With both sides of the fight against them, the Penguins will have to take a stand and save the day The only downside to Penguins Of Madagascar is that the story sometimes takes a backseat to the film’s humor. There’s a basic story about finding your place and fitting in with an organization, but it’s given only enough attention to register as a presence. While the story isn’t as watertight as some of Pixar or even Dreamworks’ best efforts, the film does provide a wide enough swath of con-

stantly funny moments, so it hardly even matters. Also, one minor note about whether or not you should see this ﬁlm in 3D, it’s advised that you don’t. The effect really isn’t that spectacular, and just barely pops out with most of the ﬁlm’s sight gags. If you’re looking for a fun time this weekend, but have babysitting duty or any other limitation that would narrow your options to more PG entertainment, Penguins Of Madagascar is well worth the ticket price..
