Posted on

What’s it like working in and around Harley Street For centuries, the closest most people got to Harley Street was knowing the name of an aristocrat, celebrity, or some other well-to-do person who’d allegedly received treatment there. Since the 19th century, the street has been known for providing world-class medical services to the mega-rich and ultra-elite classes. Florence Nightingale and Dr Edward Bach practised there, treating the likes of King George VI for his stammer and Stephen Hawking for motor neuron…

5 stars whose lives changed after Laser Eye Surgery With their perfectly sculpted bods, bags of charm, impeccable style sense, and charismatic voices, celebrities can often seem like some kind of superhumans who’ve arrived here from space. But although they may seem like aliens (some more than others), they are more or less ordinary people. There is something, however, that makes many of them different from the average person on the street. To get to where they are, many celebs,…

4 Up close & personal accounts of Laser Eye Surgery When thinking about having Laser Eye Surgery, it can seem like you’re the only person in the world who know’s what you’re going through: the arduous task of choosing a clinic; ongoing hesitations over the cost; endless questions about the procedure. And with this being just the tip of the iceberg, it’s easy to feel like all the hassle isn’t really worth it. That is until you remember, you’re not…

2018 is a great year to sort your vision out

2018 is a great year to sort your vision out 2018 will go down in history for many reasons. It’s the year Korea united under one flag at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, the year Nelson Mandela would have turned 100, the centenary of the end of fighting in the First World War, and the first time in history the World Cup will be held in Russia. Oh, and not forgetting the year Elon Musk launched a sports car complete with…

Looking after your eyes on the London tube

Posted on

Looking after your eyes on the London tube Take a ride on the London underground and you’re destined to see sights you won’t have seen anywhere else. Strange characters dressed up as mythical creatures and dominatrix on their way to work. Longtime commuters sprawled out with shoes off and feet up. Even couples celebrating the best day of their lives by getting married on their favourite line. The problem is, as an enclosed, poorly ventilated environment that’s also full of…

Staring at Facebook for 4 hours a day might be bad for you

Posted on

Staring at Facebook for 4 hours a day might be bad for you Facebook has taken a bit of a bashing recently. Several studies have come out showing the damaging effects it can have on everything from relationships and love life to stress and self-esteem. Even the people who helped build the thing are coming out and declaring it’s “ripping society apart” thanks to its purposely designed “feedback loops”. For a site that calls itself a ‘social network’ and that brought…

How to avoid eye strain

How to avoid eye strain Like migraines, weak glutes, and depression, eye strain seems like just another part of modern day life we have to accept. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t end the work day by rubbing my eyes and blinking like a maniac. There was, however, a time when it was much worse — when I wore contact lenses. My eyes would be instantly as dry as Ghandi’s flipflops if I simply made a sandwich or…

London’s Mayor committed to reducing pollution, what this means for your eyesight Think of cities with a serious pollution problem and you think of Delhi or Beijing — places known for their heavy smog clouds that sweep over and blanket whole neighbourhoods for days, weeks, or months on end. Somewhere that doesn’t immediately come to mind, however, with all its talk of protecting the environment and supporting green energy, is London. Yet surprisingly enough — at least for those that…

5 Things you can now do after Laser Eye Surgery

5 Things you can now do after Laser Eye Surgery When you have good eyesight, it’s easy to take many of the everyday pleasures in life for granted: having a trouble-free shower, reading menus and text messages, rolling around with the kids, waking up and knowing where you are. You’d think having first to perform a fiddly ritual of putting your contacts in or finding your glasses would make you appreciate these things more. But they don’t. In fact, they make…
