As we get older, we lose our near vision. If you find yourself holding this paper at arm’s length to read this article, then you will understand. Reading menus and texting are equally tricky, even more so if you are unlucky enough to have forgotten your reading glasses!

The technical term for this loss of crispness of our near vision, as we get older is “presbyopia”. It’s a natural process that happens to everyone, usually from their mid-40s, even if you have previously had laser vision correction. It’s simply part of the ageing process!

Traditionally, most people with presbyopia use reading glasses to improve their near vision but as we know, with reading glasses come numerous vision and lifestyle constraints. This is the unique benefit of this revolutionary new treatment. With Presbia Vision comes freedom, convenience and self-sufficiency, no more dependency on reading glasses.

Is Presbia right for me?

People suitable for the Presbia procedure are usually over 40 years old and are found to need reading glasses to view newspapers, mobile phone displays and similar items which would otherwise appear blurred. In other words anyone suffering from the age related condition of presbyopia.

The loss of your near vision doesn’t have to be the end of your on-the-go, mobile lifestyle. Not when the Presbia inlay has the power to help millions of people around the world and possibly even you. If you’re frustrated with trying to keep track of glasses, using contact lenses or stretching your

arms past their limit, the Presbia inlay offers the hassle-free convenience you desire.

Regardless of when or how your eyesight changed, the Presbia inlay may be able to restore your near and intermediate vision – even if you are considering or already had LASIK or cataract surgery.

Dr Wayne Crewe Brown, Surgeon and Medical Director at Optilase commented: “Presbia has been in development for over a decade and means life-changing benefits for those who are dependent on reading glasses. It restores vision of objects near the eye and reduces dependency on reading glasses, critically without compromising on distance vision. The result is long-lasting, clear vision; near, far and in between.

TV Presenter and Fashion Stylist Celia Holman Lee recently had laser eye surgery with Presbia and achieved better than 20/20 vision. Celia told us “After the treatment it was a complete new world, I can now see up close, far away in the distance and everything in between. It has completely changed my life”

The treatment is entirely painless and takes, on average, less than 10 minutes. Presbia is a tiny prescriptive lens, which is customised to your vision. Your near vision capability can be improved to see near, far and in between resulting in a greatly-lessened dependency or zero reliance on reading glasses, depending on the individual.

The team at Optilase are amongst the most experienced and qualified in the world. Arrange a free consultation today and find out if you are eligible for this life-changing procedure, contact Optilase on 1890 301 302 or visit www.optilase.com

Medical advances mean that glasses are no longer the only solution for reading vision. Optilase has been at the forefront of this revolutionary advancement and performed thousands of successful procedures.

Mercury is now direct, the solar eclipse was just a few days ago and a tangible sense that time is speeding up should be apparent. From feeling that so much can never be realised, you may be pleasantly surprised (at least in the first half of the week) to find that others are ‘ on the same page’.

Persistent, appreciative, dependable, practical and creative Taurus: Your ruling planet is Venus, your best day of the week is Friday and your best colour, green. With Pluto moving through another of the Earth signs, Capricorn, until 2024, your expertise is set to grow and consolidate in the coming years.

Funny, versatile, talkative, fast-thinking and sophisticated Gemini: Your rul-ing planet is Mercury, your best day of the week is Wednesday and your best colours are spring-like, yellow and lilac. Jupiter is in your sign until late June 2013 broadening your world.

Sensitive, nurturing, careful, imaginative and encouraging Cancer: Your ruling ‘planet’ is the Moon, your best day of the week is Monday and your best colours are blue and silver. Jupiter arrives in your sign in late June 2013 ushering in a period of extraordinary growth and opportunity.

Instinctive, warm, creative, extravagant and delightful Leo Your ruling ‘planet’ is the Sun, your best day of the week is Sunday and your best colours are gold, yellow and orange. With Uranus moving through another of the Fire signs until 2017, your life journey is set to include adventures bringing increased contact with new cultures.

With Mercury no longer retrograde and Mars’ move into Capricorn, this week’s energy system promises to be very different to last. If you are seeking the acco-lade of ‘diligent and hard-working’, your actions over the course of the coming week could show those you seek to impress are up to a task.

If you’ve been prevaricating (yes, you!), then this week, as Mercury moves for-ward in your sign, you could amaze others by making several decisions without fuss and with apparent ease (which might prompt some to wonder why you didn’t take this action weeks ago!).

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.

The accent is on team-building and ensuring that those who have a task as-signed to them know exactly what that task is. That in itself will surely be time-consuming. There’s also the strong possibility of preparing for an adven-ture scheduled for the start of next month.

With Mercury’s station at the apex of your solar chart on Sunday, it’s probable that commercial interests will be uppermost. Buying and selling could be a big theme. Though all those born under your sign can’t be currency traders, it’s likely that many Capricorns will need to think about moving cash around.

To some it might seem that you’re going back on your word when it might be more true to say that you’re simply re-iterating what you said a year ago. When you didn’t get through then, no doubt you’ve tried to get the message in other ways. It appears though that the message hasn’t been understood.

It’s entirely possible that a key meeting will take place before the end of the month. There may be much for you to negotiate. Whereas under some circum-stances you have a tendency to bury your head in the sand, that’s unlikely to be true on this occasion.

Amelia (Essie Davis) has shut down after the death of her husband, who was killed in a car smash as he was taking her to hos-pital to give birth. The child, Sam (Noah wise-man), survived but has grown up starved of any real love or aff ection. One day he makes his mother read him a book about the Babadook, pale-

skinned ogre who threat-ens to make them wish they’d never been born. The monster itself is re-ally only secondary to this telling new fi lm by debut director Jennifer Kent; it is more the eff ect the idea of the Babadook has on us, the audience, that makes for an original and terrifying tale. Watch out behind you …

iPads are highly portable — the iPad Air 2 even more so than its predecessors. But they lack one key ingredient for writ-ers: physical keys. Logitech Keys-To-Go solves this problem without sacrifi cing portability by packing a full, responsive QWERTY keyboard into a tiny pack-age. In addition to a full range of stan-dard and iOS shortcut keys, this travel-

ready keyboard features Bluetooth for easy pairing and compatibility with a variety of devices, a surface covered in FabricSkin that allows for key travel while keeping out dirt, dust, and spills, and a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to three months of use on a single charge. Stuff you thought you never needed until you did …

Near on 140 songs recorded at the height of his fame by, with-out doubt, the greatest songwriter of his generation but, then, never released. It’s a wonder it took the Bootleg series so long to get around to the original of the species. Complete, this six-CD outing serves as a documentary of the recording sessions, with false-starts, one-liners and in-jokes as Bob and The Band take it on the fl y. And coming up for his 80s the Zimm is still very much the man, proving that there is, indeed, a country for old men. Who says you don’t need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows, eh?

Or how Nashville became Music City USA in which docu-mentary maker Jeremy Marre traces how the ‘Bible Belt’s buckle’ became a national music hub, thanks to its myriad record-ing studios, the Grand Ole Opry, and a plethora of musicians and songsmiths and the big names associated with Music City Row. Included are profi les of the men and women who have given us

almost a century of listening pleasure - Elvis (yes, he was a country boy at heart), Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.

this week. “You want to appeal to as

wide an audience as possible without

make something gratuitous, and ugly,

he thought the fi lm would more rely

on viewers’ imagination. “[Director]

Sam [Taylor-Johnson] is a very bright

woman, so there might be some sug-

gestive elements to it, but I haven’t

seen it at this stage, so it is hard for

me to say,” he added. Sorry girls …

In Trollope’s 18th novel, Susie Moran has. for 30 years, been running a company that sells a fantasy of rural life. One daughter does the marketing, another the design, and a third looks after the core business. Things get tense when Susie decides to relocate and her daughters’ respect for her iron constitution turns into resent-ment. Trollope is an extremely as-

sured novelist, with a sharp eye for detail, and fi nely-tuned emo-tional intelligence, even if at times she does try to spell everything out, and ends up egging the mix a tad. But in the end she writes absorbing and profound stories that dramatise the dilemmas we all face in life. And the brand she started 30-odd years ago is still in rude health.

Somehow, Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t get full credit for the chances he takes as an actor. The versatile, fearless per-former burst on the scene in City Slickers, but boasts such incredible, daring and un-conventional fi lms as Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead, The Good Girl and David Fincher’s masterpiece, Zodiac. But the DiCaprios and Depps of the world get lauded for their high-profi le risks, while Gyllenhaal keeps delivering with the likes of Prisoners or Enemy.

The tide should turn in Gyllenhaal’s favor, fi -nally, with the release of Nightcrawler, a seedy, after-hours contemporary thriller about the insomniac ambu-lance chasers who record ex-clusive video at human trag-edies, then sell them for top dollar to ratings-hungry local news producers. Louis Bloom (Gyllenhaal) is an out-of-work hustler, a hard-working

fast talker who chases job op-portunities around every cor-ner. On the way home from a scavenger hunt – during which he sells stolen metals to salvage yard managers – Bloom sees a veteran night-crawler (Bill Paxton) fi lming a police rescue at a car crash. Ever the sponge, Bloom fi g-ures out how to get his foot in the game. Soon, he’s moni-toring a police scanner and chasing his own breaking news opportunities around Los Angeles’ neon-drenched streets.

Louis Bloom fascinates, par-ticularly because he shifts shapes as he adapts to his scenario. You will spend the bulk of Nightcrawler trying to fi gure out what, about him, is accurate and true. Most of that is due to Gyllenhaal’s mesmerizing performance, which is both guarded (in the way it protects secrets) and completely open. Bloom is a pariah and a thief. He’s a

smarmy grifter, but an entre-preneur with a taste for what’s seedy. He fi nds his niche in the tracking of ratings-worthy news, where whatever bleeds tends to lead. And he fi nds a twisted mentor in Nina (Rene Russo), a late-night producer at a low-rated L.A. news cast who needs Louis’ exclusive footage as much as he needs to be accepted, recognized and respected. For now, I’m going to protect some of Nightcrawler’s juiciest se-crets. You aren’t prepared for how dark Gyllenhaal and Gilroy are willing to let Nightcrawler drift. Know this: the fi lm is unafraid to plunge us into a seedy, sleazy story of questionable journalism and indie-business ethics during a time of economic uncertainty. It holds a mirror up to a major city in a modern time, but introduces a psy-chotic, sociopathic tour guide who instantly becomes one for the ages.

Audiences have understand-ably become expectant of the unexpected from Christopher Nolan. In his 16 years as a fi lmmaker, he has excelled in changing our perceptions of narrative and genre, be it with the backwards-run-ning Memento, the cerebral blockbuster Inception, or the Oscar-winning Dark Knight trilogy. Nolan is a fi lmmaker we turn to when we want something outside of the norms and deliver something that is both “unordinary” and exists on a massive scale. “Predictable” isn’t a word we’d expect to be uttered within 10 miles of a Christopher Nolan movie - and yet it’s painfully necessarily in discussion of Interstellar, Nolan’s aestheti-cally beautiful, large-scale sci-fi drama that is admirable in its ideas and style, but lacking in its storytelling and execution.

The story of a last-ditch space expedition hoping to fi nd a new home for the hu-man race after a blight has left the future Earth slowly dying, the fi lm is far from subtle with what is a very positive and important al-legory and message: the an-swer to our species outliving our planet rests in the stars, and we will never reach them if our space programs remain

underfunded and underuti-lized. Spliced with a good dose of theoretical physics -- as well as a Spielberg-esque father-daughter drama that fi nds a farmer/former pilot named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) leaving his family behind to lead the aforementioned mission -- the fi lm is high-minded, but ultimately taken down by a mix of both obvious and overly-confusing plot maneu-verings. Big mysteries intro-duced at the start are solv-able instantaneously, and far too often, big questions aren’t

asked until it’s convenient for the plot. There is an earned level of expectation that will come packaged along with Christopher Nolan’s fi lm as it arrives in theaters, and those expectations will result in a mixed emotional response. There is no question that Interstellar delivers in terms of spectacle, as the movie is immersive, scattered with gorgeous photography, and demands to be shown on the biggest screen imaginable. But it’s also hard not to be disappointed by its limited scope, creatively.

EVERYBODY has their own idea of the perfect Bread and Butter pudding. Until re-cently it was just the plain old leftover white pan bread that was used but when you’ve tasted the Brioch or croissant variety you’ll be eager to experiment.

Chocolate chip works great with crois-sants and cinnamon is fantastic with Brioch bread.

Try putting the pudding in the oven as you are sitting down to your meal and you can serve it hot straight from the oven.

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 8)Pyrex Dish (6ins x 10ins and 2 ins high)90 grms butter12 slices of white bread, crusts removed450ml cream250ml milk200grms of plump sultanas4 large eggs lightly beaten1 teaspoon of vanilla extract175 grms sugar

Butter the bread. Cut each slice in two

triangles. Arrange the bread in layers with the sultanas between each layer. In a bowl whisk the cream, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Preheat the oven to 180c. Pour in the custard slowly so as the bread is totally soaked. Place the dish into a larger baking tin into which you have put enough water to come half way up the pudding dish. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with whipped cream

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

NOW that Halloween is safely behind us, we now plod on ahead with the latter part of the year and Christmas festivities quickly looming on the horizon.

You may well shudder with the thought, but Christmas seems to fall earlier and earlier every year, though for some, as the early evenings are finally here, and the impending talk of an ex-pected cold winter ahead of us, this may well be something to look forward to and add some cheer.

The Granary’s twist on the traditional Bread and Butter Pudding sounds so perfect as a warming comfort pudding, after a hearty meal and relax-ation in front of a roaring fire. Heaven!

But what to drink and enjoy with it you may well ask? Ashley Thompson, of Thompson’s CarryOut Offlicence in Ferrybank Waterford writes:

After much thought and deliberation, I settled on an old favourite local brewery, who faithfully at certain times of the year release seasonal beers that compliment their permanent all-year-round beers, and I’m talking about Dungarvan Brewing

Co. head brewer Cormac O’Dwyer believes that it takes quality ingredients, time, care and attention to detail to create the perfect brews and this is the methodology that he employs when brewing.

All the beers are traditionally brewed and bottled on-site in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford , made using only four ingredients – barley, hops, yeast and water. No chemicals are added to the beers, they are unfiltered, unpasteurised and vegan-friendly.

The core range consists of three beers – Black Rock Irish Stout, Copper Coast Irish Red Ale and Helvick Gold Irish Blonde. For November and the festive periods ahead they release a fantastic little annual winter seasonal brew, Coffee and Oatmeal Stout. Made with oats from Flahavan’s Mills in Kilmacthomas and coffee from Badger and Dodo in Fermoy, Co Cork this has proved a big hit over the last few years and its release gener-ally signifies the beginning of the yuletide season for many.

Working with Badger and Dodo boutique coffee

roasters, each year they choose a different coffee to use in the beer.

This year, working with Badger and Dodo again, the coffee they have decided to use is La Joyeira, a 100% Colombian Arabica varietal grown at 1700m, which has some caramel and nutty notes, with a sweet pineapple acidity. The result is a rich, full-flavoured stout with a powdery dry chocolate mouth-feel.

Smoothness from the oats adds balance to the roasted bitterness, while in the background there’s a subtle hint of the earthy espresso flavours which leads to a dry coffee finish.

Perfect, I think for the long winter evenings, and would certainly accommodate most sweet dishes with lashings of cream, or simply enjoyed just on its own. Dungarvan’s Coffee and Oatmeal Stout, comes in a 500ml bottle @ 4.7 % ABV, and is available in Thompson’s CarryOut Offlicence, Ferrybank, Waterford, or like our Facebook page, Thompson’s Carry Out.

Enjoy and cheers.
