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?

Concern about assets and, primarily, whether or not your working efforts are being sufficiently well rewarded could dominate thinking for the first half of the week. Though it’s not always recognised, those of your sign do have a store of excellent financial acumen: you know what things are worth. Accessing your memory and your understanding of contractual obligations could be very important in the first half of this week. Driven by the need to protect assets whilst also giving a new system time to ‘bed in’, could prove challenging. At many levels it could feel as though you’ve come to a full stop - or that a pause is on the horizon. A contract or engagement may be coming to its natural end but, as it does, require you to think carefully about what you commit to next. An alignment of Mars and Pluto in your opposite sign on Monday could coincide with a power struggle. You don’t have to be involved but may be a close witness to drama. All this is likely to impinge on leisure time on both Monday and Thursday. It would be wholly understandable if you were to give very serious thought indeed to your assets and how best to insure them. It might also be that you’re under some time pressure to get this done. There’s also the possibility of discussions about legacies, wills etc. Very early this week it may be important for you to make a declaration. True, you could move the goal posts again later this week, but, as of Monday, you may feel it imperative for someone to know that you really are ‘on the case’ and that you want to reach agreement and settlement.

It would be entirely understandable if full focus were to be given to home, repair and property matters. If you haven’t already acquired estimates or sought expert opinion, now may be the time to do so. A possible issue is that drains and drain management need to be addressed. Early NEXT week, the Sun aligns with Saturn in your sign for the last time for three decades. You can think of this as a punctuation mark in your life journey. Hints about what needs to be decided, effective time-lines etc, should be obvious early this week. It might suit you to look into dark recesses: in your mind and amongst paperwork that you usually tend to ignore. You could ‘face fears and do it anyway’ by the end of the week: including assessing what you and cannot afford. You seem caught between where you are presently. It may be time to put your stamp of authority on a project. It could be that nothing’s going to happen unless someone (you?) takes charge. Of course, you could give a team or administration another week to get themselves sorted out. In your heart you may already know that that just isn’t going to happen. As the planets circle the Sun, they mark what is ‘punctuation marks’. There’s now a ‘semi-colon’ to be followed by a ‘full-stop’ early next week. This particular pattern won’t form again for another three decades and is likely to be most significant for those born under the Fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. It wouldn’t be so surprising if you felt a little low. Yours is one of the very sensitive signs of the zodiac and present planetary conditions are of the ‘heavy’ variety. These conditions will pass and that though it might seem that things are working against you, you at least know where the boundaries are.

TV of the week The Fall (RTE1 Sunday, BBC2 Thursday) King Nidge, new trainers and all, may have departed our Sunday viewing for good (not sure I’m convinced he’s that dead) but we have the feisty and complex Det Supt Stella Gibson to feast on in the second season of this dark drama set in Belfast. Gillian Anderson is back, more determined that ever to track down the elusive serial killer Paul Spector,

coldly and perfectly played by Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan. The pair engages in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse set against a chilling and dark Northern Ireland city, with its still menacing paramilitary undertones. Compelling, dark, strong stuff that very often plays it close to the bone. Now, hands up all who were raised on a weekly diet of The X-Files?

Album off tthe he w week eek k Into Colour, by Rumer (Atlantic) I am one of those people who didn’t fall in love with Karen Carpenter’s exquisite mellifluous voice until after she died at a young age. Her vocals and brother Richard’s amazing arrangements of many pop standards never cease to enthrall me. Anyways, a year or two back along comes Brit girl Rumer with her eponymous album and it’s the nearest thing to Carpenter (and Heaven) that I’ve found. The similarity is eerie but so rewarding. After a dark time since her first outing and a second album of covers, with a miscarriage and diagnosis of bipolar disorder, comes this crystal-clear collection in which Rumer dabbles in disco with Dangerous, plays Phily with Reach Out I’ll Be There and gives us a deeply-moving ballad with Better Place, among other wonderful, warm renditions. I’m in love again, sorry Karen…

Gig of the week Winterval In Waterford (Nov 21- Dec 23) Among the highlights of this annual winter wonderland which kicks off tomorrow, Friday, will be Waterford’s iconic Theatre Royal on the Mall showcasing the Christmas panto Sleeping Beauty, while the Symphony Club of Waterford, in partnership with Garter Lane, presents Handel’s The Messiah performed by the Irish Baroque Orchestra. Also enjoy the Waterford Homecraft Christmas Fare at

Film of the week The Imitation Game, (nationwide) We last saw Brit Ben Cumberbatch as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in last year’s The Fifth Estate. This time out he plays he plays another brilliant mind, that of WWII codebreaker Alan Turing. A pioneering mathematician and computer scientist, Touring’s part in cracking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park went largely unrecognised in his own lifetime. In fact, his reputation and career were destroyed in 1952 by a conviction for the crime of

‘gross indecency’, homosexuality, which led to him accepting chemical castration as an alternative to imprisonment. Two years later, aged 41, Turing committed suicide. Now, it is recognised his work was a huge aid to the Allies winning the war. Keira Knightley plays the heoine, an actress I am increasing growing to admire and love. Sorry Rumer and Karen (see Album OTW).

Garter Lane. Meantime, enjoy the Winterval’s majestic Shire horses taking you on a magical tour of the City. Pick up point at The Mall, Waterford Crystal. Christmas Charity Concert featuring Cara O’Sullivan in aid of The Edmund Rice Centre, Mount Sion. The concert will be held in the Cathedral of The Most Holy Trinity.

Buzz of the week SATC to make a comeback? If, like many of us, you’ve spent much of the last decade pacing your inexplicably large apartment while reciting 10-year-old Sex and the City quotes and counting your pairs of Manolos, just praying that one day, Carrie and co. might somehow return to the small screen. According to the now-defunct HBO series’ creator Michael Patrick King, it could happen. (Keyword: could.) E! Online spoke with King about how

the relatively new popularity of streaming services could lead to a revival of SATC—which wrapped its sixth and final season in 2004. “The mere fact that it is still so alive, in that people are still wondering about these girls, you never know. It could come back at some point.” Obviously, it would be all down to the necessary participation of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, et al.

Social Media of the Week Facebook Wants Your Business A report from the Financial Times the other day indicates that Facebook is working on a new service called ‘Facebook at Work’ that aims to get a piece of the business social networking space. Facebook at Work will look similar to the main service, complete with news feed and groups, but will allow users to maintain a separate work profile as well as a personal profile. FB has reportedly begun testing with external companies as a launch draws near.

Popular tools like Slack and Yammer are used in many businesses for internal social networking.It’s interesting that FB want to move into the business social networking space, as many employers actively discourage their employees from using social networking during business hours. With Facebook now reaching over 1.3 billion monthly active users, it’s likely looking for additional sources of user and revenue growth for the future.

Bookk off the B h W Weekk The Legendary ‘Lugs’ Brannigan by Kevin Kearns (Gill & Macmillan, €24.99) “A belt in the mouth is often the best medicine for a tough kid,” Lugs Brannigan once told a district court judge. It’s probably for the best that the infamous Dublin cop with the big ears (hence Lugs) served with An Garda Siochana during the middle years of the last century, because given the recent scandals involving complaints procedures, whistleblowers and the Garda ombudsman,

it’s most likely this one-man antigurrier crime fighter would have walked. Today, there are no gurriers, just drug-fuelled warring criminals and a police force that spends more manpower dealing with anti-water charges campaigners than it does dealing with the real criminals who, anyway, if apprehended only end up in a revolving-door legal system. A colourful and enjoyable read.

DVD of the week Mrs Brown’s Boys, D’ Movie

App of the Week WhoSampled (Android, Free) & Camera51 (Android, IOS, free) Two apps this week, lucky you. WhoSampled is a glorious rabbithole of sampling culture to disappear down, now on Android as it is on the web and iOS. The app helps you explore the samples used in more than 270,000 songs, tracing them back to the original tracks, and then onwards to other music that used the same samples.

Need some help with your smartphone snapping? Camera51 is a new mobile photography app that claims to analyse the scene you’re shooting, and help you compose the best frame for the picture. You can tap on objects to make them the focus for its trickery. And yes, it does work: the results are very impressive. Snap happy!

up to any expectations. For me, the problem is taking a very successful TV format and broadening it out of its regular and fixed settings of the Brown household and the local pub. Here we are all over the place and Mrs Brown, aka Brendan O’Carroll, is like the proverbial fish out of water. Over-long, for what it should be, and tiresome, the laughs are few. In fact I don’t think I laughed once. If it ain’t broke, Brendan, don’t fix it …

DEE E KAVANAGH

When Moore Street market-trader Agnes Brown finds her livelihood under threat from a ruthless developer, she and her family embark on a campaign to save her stall, aided as only the Browns will be by a motley troop of blind trainee Ninjas, an alcoholic solicitor, and a barrister with Tourettes Syndrome. The sole reason this is making DVD Of The Week is because of its massive appeal to a large audience. Sadly, though it really does not live

%H\RQG /LJKWV A present-day showbiz pic that has Gugu Mbatha-Raw singing, dancing and playing a video vixen with the heart of poet. It’s a great display of her range, but sadly, it’s a mediocre movie. You may not know the name Gugu Mbatha-Raw, but by year’s end, you should. The English actress dazzles earlier this year in the provocative period piece Belle, in which she played a biracial aristocrat forced to find her place in a world where her name gives her status but her skin color strips it away. Now Mbatha-Raw offers a 180-degree turn in Beyond The Lights, a present-day showbiz pic that has her singing, dancing, and playing a video vixen with the heart of poet. It’s a great display of Mbatha-Raw’s range, but sadly, it’s a mediocre movie. Written and director by The Secret Life of Bees’s Gina PrinceBythewood, Beyond The Lights plays like a VH1 biopic, full of the kind of saucy sex appeal and subdued scandal that can play on ca-

ble any time of the day. Its story begins with a young Noni Jean--like Marilyn Monroe’s Norma Jean, get it? She’s a biracial British girl with a big voice, raggedy clothes, and a white stage mom (Minnie Driver) who refuses to let the world ignore her baby’s talents. After smashing a second-place trophy won at a low-rent kids talent show, the plot cuts to the crotch of grown-up Noni (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) flaunting and pouting in a steamy music video for a tatted-out white rapper (Machine Gun Kelly). She’s on the rise. Still, the most grating thing about Beyond the Lights--and what may have well kept it from being great--is its treatment of Noni. Though hers is the story we’re introduced to via childhood trauma, the movie abruptly decides to pick up and be about her rescuer instead. This complicated woman who has the world at her fingertips but yearns to embrace her love of songwriting and Nina Simone-style torch songs is shunted to the side so that Kaz can be her knight in

shining armor, sweeping her away from her money-grubbing mama, ravenous paparazzi, and soulless record label folk. Mbatha-Raw and Parker share a decent chemistry, but their sizzle isn’t intense enough to make up for reducing Noni to a damsel in distress who just needs to be saved by the right man. Equally frustrating is PrinceBythewood’s insistence that Noni’s sexual persona is one to scorn, all while the camera leeringly lingers on her curves, booty shorts, and bare skin. All in all, Beyond the Lights is a movie that promises one thing-the story of a girl who must fight to share the song that lives inside her--but delivers another--a messy romance narrative that plays into the tired trope that even a wildly successful young woman needs a man to save her. It’s tedious. It’s frustrating. And it’s a waste of its talent. But if you want to understand why so many critics and filmmakers are chattering about Gugu Mbatha-Raw, you can’t miss it.

5RVHZDWHU Jon Stewart’s Rosewater is beautifully shot, with small, graceful moments. It also feels a bit too much like a well-intentioned but dry civics lesson. Over nearly two decades on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart has reported on strangerthan-fiction stories with a sophisticated sense of humor and an ardent refusal to take himself too seriously. But when buckling down to tell the troubling true story of journalist Maziar Bahari in Rosewater, the TV personality turned film director discards these signatures in favor of earnestness and a predominantly solemn tone. It’s a bold choice, but does it pay off? Based on Maziar Bahari’s memoir Then They Came For Me, Rosewater focuses on how the Iranian native/ Newsweek journalist was thrown into prison and accused of treason following the 2009 election between

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mir-Hossein Mousavi. The Iranian government claimed Bahari was a spy. As evidence, they showed him an interview he had done with Jason Jones in a

comedy bit for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. It was a moment so surreal that Bahari laughs, but it’s one of the few found in Rosewater. Rosewater is beautifully shot, revealing Iran to be a place of both bustle and decay, religiousness and secularism. There are small moments--like one where a blind-folded Bahari

reaches his hand high over his head to feel the sunlight he’s not allowed to see--that with a gentle grace communicate the movies themes of fighting for freedom. The score is lively and lovely. And Stewart gives a bit of panache to a voiceover monologue about Bahari’s family history by blasting footage of his family on the walls around him as he strolls--still a free man-through a city. There’s p a c i n g problems, but the plot is laid out with care to make sure viewers unfamiliar with the particulars of the 2009 Iranian elections won’t get lost. For all this, Rosewater is a competent political drama and a noteworthy first feature. However, without that smile and wink that Stewart as a TV personality is so known for, the film feels a bit too much like a well-intentioned but dry civics lesson.

FOIL-BAKED BANANAS WITH APRICOT SAUCE YOU may have heard of Nigel Slater, the English cookery writer who happens to be my all-time favourite. Read any of his books and you will notice his talent for putting meals together at the last minute from whatever happens to be in the fridge. His recipes are therefore memorable which is important when you find yourself stuck some evening for a simple dish. Here is one of my emergency “desserts in a hurry “ based on the humble banana. Perfect for any occasion.

Ashley Thompson, at Thompson’s CarryOut Offlicence in Ferrybank, Waterford has several suggestions for beer to match he Granary’s Foil Baked Bananas With An Apricot Sauce and a Hot Banana Brioche . Ashley writes: The immediate presence of banana, brings a few styles of beers to mind. Sweet deserts can often be accompanied by many beers, but more so by beers that have a fruit emphasis to them. Belgium fruit Wheat Lambics, are traditionally brewed to give a particular fruit flavour, Cherry, Apricot, Apple, Coconut, Mango etc . The list is endless but for now, I am going to keep it to two particular beers, that we carry in our shop. Lindemans

INGREDIENTS 4 Ripe Bananas, peeled. 1x 400grm tin of apricots.s You will need four pieces of aluminium foil, each large enough to be folded around a banana. Place the foil on your work surface and put one banana into the centre of each square. Bring the sides of the foil up to make little packets for the fruit. Whizz the apricots with a little of their

syrup in a blender to a purÊe finish. Spoon the purÊe into the parcels and seal thoroughly by scrunching the foil along the top. Bake in a preheated hot oven for about 20 minutes. Serve hot and let everyone open up their own parcel which will be full of fruitscented steam. The Granary CafÊ is on O’Connell Street, Waterford

H>Ă—QB;NĂ—NIĂ—>LCHEĂ—QCNBĂ—CN H>Ă—QB;NĂ—NIĂ—>LCHEĂ—QCNBĂ—CN Pecheresse ( Peach Lambic ) and Well’s nose all leading to a finely balanced, Banana Bread Beer. Lindemans Pecheresse, is a beer developed by Lindemans brewery, using a straight juice-method. The result is a fresh fruity drink with the background of the rich bouquet of Lambic. Golden in colour; with a nose that fills the room with fresh peaches. Sparkling and crisp with a refreshing balance of fruit and acid. 375ml bottle @ 2.5% ABV. Wells Banana Bread Beer uses fair trade bananas. This is an unusual brew, combining all the traditional qualities and style of a Charles Wells beer with the subtle flavour of banana. Tempting Banoffee aromas and flavours , tempered by a grassy, lemony

fresh delicate flavour of peppery hops, with a lingering dry finish. Sounds bizarre, but really very nice indeed. 500ml bottle @ 5.2% ABV. I reckon these two beers would sit nicely alongside the Granary’s two banana deserts, and remember, if fruit beers are not to your taste, then there are numerous options out there to try and taste, as we now carry , nearly 300 different Irish and World Craft Beers, Ales and Ciders in Thompsons CarryOut Offlicence in Ferrybank, Waterford. Like our Facebook page,  Ferrybank Beer Club for more crafty beers and tasting notes. Cheers.
