Screen Time and Dry Eyes: Why UK Office Workers Need IPL Therapy
Modern workplaces rely heavily on digital screens. While this improves productivity, it also leads to a growing problem – dry eyes. Office workers in the UK spend long hours staring at screens, which reduces blinking and causes the tear film to evaporate faster. The result? Red, irritated and dry eyes. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy […]

YAG Laser Capsulotomy for People with Diabetes: Special Considerations
For many people who have undergone cataract surgery, vision clarity may gradually decline due to a condition called posterior capsule opacification. YAG laser capsulotomy is a widely used treatment to restore clear vision by removing the cloudy capsule behind the intraocular lens. However, for diabetic patients, additional considerations come into play. Diabetes affects eye health, […]
