Not to alarm you, but it looks like jellyfish are rising up against us

What's this? Oh nothing, just some images that make it look as though jellyfish are plotting an overthrow of the human race.

SEE ALSO: Reddit's CEO got corrective laser eye surgery—for the apocalypse. I did too.

The Sunshine Coast in Australia, specifically, is being blighted with a huge number of beached, blobby jellyfish invaders. 

Facebook user Charlotte Lawson captured some creepy shots of the mass beaching that look a little like an alien takeover.

10 points to Lawson for her incredibly pithy Facebook caption too. "Got jelly" indeed.

According to news reports, almost 23,000 people have been stung in the space of a mere two months. That's a quite a lot. 

And actually, it's all because of those damn strong northerly winds that have been blowing all summer long.

A peculiar sight has washed up on the beach at Deception Bay, with hundreds of jellyfish turning the sand blue. @samheathwood9 #9News pic.twitter.com/bGmMlIizR8

Though it's best to stay calm in such situations, don't forget that the hostile takeover by a race of strange-looking creatures with stingers has been predicted by such varied sources as The Day Of The Triffids, War Of The Worlds and, um, Spongebob Squarepants. 

A harmless cartoon... Or a terrifying vision of the future?

Best cosmetic procedure for under eye wrinkles

One of the most frustrating indicators of aging on the face is under eye wrinkles. As you age, your skin loses its strength and elasticity and forms these tiny ninjas that rob you of your youthful, smooth skin. These fine lines can also be as a result of too much sun exposure. They are inevitable but are unavoidable. But so what could be the best cosmetic procedure for under eye wrinkles? If you want to have a younger look, have your cosmetic surgery with trusted cosmetic surgeons in Brisbane, Australia.

Dermatologists now recognize laser treatment as one of the most effective ways to treat wrinkled skin. It helps you achieve that smooth and healthy skin around your eyes. In this treatment, carbon dioxide lasers are used to poke tiny holes on the skin. They stimulate the production of fresh collagen (strengthens your skin) and elastin (makes your skin elastic). After the procedure, the older and damaged tissues are replaced with the new ones as your body heals naturally.

Another solution for under eye wrinkles is chemical peels. They are only performed by certified estheticians. Chemical solutions are used to exfoliate your skin which in turn causes the outmost dermal layer to peel off. This process gives your skin a glowing look by treating acne scars and damages caused by ultraviolet light. Dermatologists mainly recommend chemical peels for individuals with lighter skin tones.

Microdermabrasion is another way of getting rid of stubborn wrinkles. The process uses a special tool to spray creams that have abrasives that sand away and rejuvenate the dead outer layer of your skin. The cream used varies with your skin type to give you that youthful appearance. Multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired results. For you to achieve even better results, topical anti-wrinkle creams can also be used.

Having explored the best cosmetic procedures above, it is best that you have a clear idea of your situation before settling on an option. Seek a dermatologist to help you determine a good option to help you achieve the best results. It is also good to note that each procedure will have its own drawbacks as well.

laser mole removal

Laser mole removal Moles can be removed with lasers or with surgery. There are many types of moles that can occur in or on your skin, ranging from birthmark moles (congential naevi), junctional moles, compound moles, collision moles, and intradermal naevi- moles.

The most reliable method of mole removal is surgery, namely excisional surgery. This procedure can completely remove the mole, and any ‘root system’. Most doctors then send to mole away for testing to make sure it is not cancerous or has changes of melanoma or pre-melanoma. Surgery, it thus the Gold Standard for mole removal, as it gives complete removal and histology. Practically, surgery for moles may not be feasible as some patients may have hundreds of moles to remove on the face. Surgery often requires stitches, and most plastic or dermatologic surgeons will place both dissolving and outside sutures. Another surgical method to remove moles is called a shave excision – this is only feasible for moles or warts that are ‘raised’. Sutures are not required following a shave excision. The downside of shave excision for moles is that recurrence can occur, as the ‘root system’ of the mole is not addressed.

So, where do lasers fit in regarding mole removal? Firstly, not all candidates- patients are suitable for mole removal with laser. See the disclaimer below. Lasers that can be used to treat moles include ablative lasers (such as CO2 and erbium). This video only shows one method I use to treat moles. Other lasers include non ablative erbium glass lasers, – especially good for IDN or intra-dermal naevi. QSL or Q switch lasers can also treat dark or black moles. Q switch lasers are the same types of lasers used for removing tattoo ink. The major advantage of laser removal for moles is the speed of the procedure, and the accuracy of removal. Lasers take 1-2 seconds to vaporise the mole, and the exact depth can be dialled in to within 1/100 of a millimetre! Additionally, lasers can accurately treat the width of the mole with as little damage as possible to the surrounding skin. The major advantage lasers have over surgery is that laser removal of moles can be scarless. With surgery, even in the best of hands, a tiny scar can be left.

There are two disadvantages of laser removal for moles. Firstly, not all mole will completely disappear after laser resurfacing. Secondly moles can not be tested as they are vaporised by the laser.

Moles and birth marks amendable to laser treatment include the following-

CAFÉ Au LAIT MACULES (CALM)- Q switch lasers in the 532 wavelength. Picosecond lasers such as the PICOWAY. 532 in the Picosure at the time of writing has not enough power output to treat CALM. 532 nanosecond can treat the majority of these moles. May need 2-5 sessions, may recur.

Congenital moles- melanocytic naevi- Fractional CO2 has been shown to help. Will need many treatments over years. Best lasers are the Lumenis fractional resurfacing lasers due to their higher output. Fraxel CO2 REPAIR has not got the power for this job. Q switch reported, but outcome poor.

Becker’s moles or naevi. These moles are notoriously difficult to treat. One can try fractional lasers, or Diode – long pulse 1064 for excessive hair growth. I have treated many Becker’s naevi, however results are disappointing.

Naevus Spilus or speckled lentiginous moles- These moles can be treated with Q switch lasers in the 532 nm wavelength. Some moles may remain, as junctional or compound moles may be mixed in with CALM moles.

IDN or intradermal moles- These can easily be flattened with either an erbium or my favourite CO2 laser. IDN moles may recur, and may pigment after a laser procedure. The idea behind treating these moles is to make them less visible, without a surgical scar.

Junctional and compound moles- Lots of controversy in regards to treating these moles. Treatment should always be based upon the probability or possibility of cancer changes such as melanoma. As a rule I personally do not treat type ½ Caucasian patients with a higher risk of melanoma with laser. I do treat Ethnic skin types such as Asians, as the risk or skin cancer is very very small.

Giant congenital melanocytic moles- treatment should be done in hospital. Again controversy as to the ideal time to treat. Treatment of these moles is beyond the scope of this review.

What Is Eyelid Surgery And Why Is It Performed?

Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove or tighten sagging skin around the eyes, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The procedure may also be used to create a crease where one is missing.

There are two types of eyelid surgery which are commonly performed in Brisbane- Upper blepharoplasty and lower eyelid surgery. The upper blepharoplasty surgery uses incisions to allow for removal of skin and fat. A thin stitch is then used to bring the skin together to allow for a creation of an eyelid crease.

The lower eyelid surgery involves skin incisions below the lash line or an incision on the inside of the eyelid, which is known as a transconjunctival approach. This transconjunctival approach allows for access to the eyelid without visible incisions, making this technique perfect for patients who need fat removed or added. This approach can be combined with laser resurfacing of the eyelid skin to reduce lines and wrinkles.

The upper eyelid excess skin and fat can create a heavy looking eyelid, aged appearance, puffiness and sometimes block the upper field of vision. Upper blepharoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and fat and can improve the field of vision.

Finding the Best Eye Surgeon in Brisbane for Glaucoma Surgery

Understanding Glaucoma: A Silent Threat

Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by increased pressure within the eye, leading to damage to the optic nerve. Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma progresses slowly and may not show symptoms in its early stages. By the time individuals notice any vision loss, the damage may already be irreversible. This is why regular eye check-ups are essential, especially if you have risk factors such as family history, age, or high intraocular pressure.

Glaucoma manifests in two main types: open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is the more common form, where the eye's drainage canals become clogged over time, leading to increased pressure. Angle-closure glaucoma is more acute and can cause a sudden rise in eye pressure, making it a medical emergency.

Timely diagnosis can prevent significant damage, making early intervention critical. If you are at risk or have been diagnosed with glaucoma, consulting an experienced eye surgeon Brisbane for treatment is essential.

Why Early Detection is Crucial

The key to managing glaucoma is early detection. Regular eye exams, particularly for those over the age of 40, can help detect early signs of the disease. A thorough examination by a qualified eye surgeon will measure eye pressure, assess the health of the optic nerve, and check your field of vision.

If glaucoma is caught early, treatment options can help preserve vision. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can be controlled with medication, laser therapy, or surgery. Depending on the severity of the disease, your eye specialist may recommendglaucoma surgery Brisbane to prevent further damage.

The goal of any glaucoma treatment is to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP), and surgery is one of the most effective ways to achieve this when other treatments, such as eye drops or laser therapy, fail to control the pressure adequately.

Types of Glaucoma Surgery

There are several surgical options available for glaucoma treatment. Choosing the right procedure depends on the type and severity of your glaucoma. Your eye surgeon Brisbane will determine the best course of action based on your unique condition.

Trabeculectomy

Trabeculectomy is a common surgical procedure for open-angle glaucoma. It involves creating a small hole in the sclera (the white part of the eye) to allow the aqueous humor (fluid in the eye) to drain more easily, thereby reducing eye pressure. This surgery is typically recommended when other treatments have failed to control the IOP.

Drainage Implants

For individuals with more severe glaucoma, drainage implants may be recommended. A small tube is inserted into the eye to facilitate fluid drainage and lower eye pressure. This procedure is especially useful for individuals with advanced or complex cases of glaucoma. It’s essential to consult with a qualifiedeye surgeon Brisbane to explore whether this option is suitable for you.

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

In recent years, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has gained popularity due to its lower risk profile and quicker recovery times. MIGS procedures are typically performed alongside cataract surgery and aim to improve the natural drainage system of the eye. Although MIGS is less invasive than traditional glaucoma surgery, it may not be suitable for individuals with advanced glaucoma. Discussing this option with your eye surgeon is crucial to understanding whether MIGS can help manage your glaucoma.

Affordable Vision Solutions: Laser Eye Surgery and Lens Replacement

Understanding Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery, often referred to as LASIK, is a cutting-edge procedure designed to correct refractive errors in the eye, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The surgery reshapes the cornea using a highly precise laser, enabling light to focus correctly on the retina, which results in clearer vision.

One of the major benefits of laser eye surgery is its quick recovery time. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, and the results are typically permanent. However, there are some factors to consider before opting for this procedure, with cost being a key one.

Factors Affecting the Laser Eye Surgery Price

The Laser Eye Surgery Price can vary based on several factors. These include the type of laser technology used, the surgeon's experience, the location of the clinic, and any pre- or post-operative care that may be required. Typically, the cost of laser eye surgery ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 per eye, but this can fluctuate depending on these factors.

While the initial cost may seem high, it’s important to consider the long-term savings. Many people spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on glasses and contact lenses over the years. By opting for laser eye surgery, you can eliminate these ongoing expenses and enjoy a life free from vision aids.

Is Lens Replacement Surgery a Better Option?

For those who may not be ideal candidates for laser eye surgery, Lens Replacement Surgery Brisbane offers an alternative. This procedure, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial one. It’s commonly used to treat conditions such as cataracts, presbyopia, and other age-related vision problems.

Lens replacement surgery is often recommended for older patients, particularly those with severe refractive errors or those at risk for cataracts. The surgery involves removing the existing lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which corrects vision issues and often eliminates the need for glasses.

Who Should Consider Lens Replacement Surgery?

If you’re over 40 and starting to notice age-related changes in your vision, such as difficulty reading or seeing objects up close, Lens Replacement Surgery Brisbane could be a viable option. The procedure is highly effective and can provide a permanent solution to vision problems.

Unlike laser eye surgery, which reshapes the cornea, lens replacement surgery directly targets the eye’s lens, making it suitable for patients with more complex vision issues. It’s also an excellent option for those who are not candidates for laser surgery due to thin corneas or other eye health concerns.

Comparing the Costs: Laser Eye Surgery vs. Lens Replacement

When it comes to cost, both procedures require a significant investment, but they differ in pricing structure. As mentioned earlier, theLaser Eye Surgery Price typically falls between $2,000 and $4,000 per eye. On the other hand, lens replacement surgery can be more expensive, ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 per eye.

However, the additional cost of lens replacement surgery may be justified if you require a long-term solution to complex vision problems. While laser eye surgery is best suited for younger patients with basic refractive errors, lens replacement is often preferred for older individuals with more advanced eye conditions.

Both procedures may be covered by private health insurance, depending on your policy. It’s essential to consult with your provider to determine if you’re eligible for any rebates or discounts. Moreover, many clinics offer payment plans, making it easier to manage the cost of surgery.

The Recovery Process: What to Expect

Recovery times for both procedures are relatively short, although lens replacement surgery typically requires a bit more time to heal fully. AfterLaser Eye Surgery, most patients experience improved vision within 24 hours, with minimal discomfort. Eye drops are prescribed to prevent infection and dryness, and follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing.

In contrast, Lens Replacement Surgery Brisbane involves a slightly longer recovery period. It may take a few days to a week for your vision to stabilize, and you may experience some light sensitivity and halos around lights during this time. However, these symptoms usually subside quickly.

Both surgeries have high success rates, with the majority of patients achieving excellent vision without the need for corrective eyewear.

Common Conditions Requiring Retina Surgery

Several conditions may necessitate retina surgery, including:

Retinal Detachment: This occurs when the retina pulls away from its normal position, causing vision impairment or blindness if not treated promptly. Retina Surgery in Brisbane Retinal detachment is considered a medical emergency, and surgery is often required to reattach the retina and prevent permanent vision loss.

Diabetic Retinopathy: People with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, a condition where blood vessels in the retina are damaged due to high blood sugar levels. Advanced cases may require surgery to remove abnormal blood vessels and prevent further vision loss.

Epiretinal Membrane (ERM): Also known as macular pucker, ERM is a condition where a thin layer of scar tissue forms on the retina's surface. It can cause blurred or distorted vision, and surgery may be performed to remove the membrane and improve visual clarity.

Types of Retina Surgery

There are various types of retina surgeries, each tailored to specific conditions. Some of the most common procedures include:

Vitrectomy: This is a surgical procedure where the vitreous gel (the clear, jelly-like substance inside the eye) is removed to access the retina and repair any damage. Vitrectomy is commonly used to treat retinal detachment, macular holes, and ERM.

Laser Photocoagulation: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a laser to seal or destroy abnormal blood vessels, such as those found in diabetic retinopathy, or to create a barrier around retinal tears to prevent detachment.

Scleral Buckling: This procedure is used to treat retinal detachment by placing a silicone band around the outside of the eye to gently push the wall of the eye against the detached retina, helping it reattach.

When choosing a surgeon, it's important to consider their experience and success rate with the specific type of retina surgery you require. Consulting with an ophthalmologist for an accurate diagnosis is the first step in determining if surgery is necessary and what type of procedure is best suited to your condition.

Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, or blurred vision in the days following surgery. Cataract Eye Surgery Cost Brisbane Strict adherence to post-operative care instructions, such as using prescribed eye drops and avoiding certain activities, is critical for a successful recovery.

👉Sometimes you find answers years down the line but once found, you won’t forget. These are facial PIGMENTARY DEMARCATION LINES. Onset in teens, sharp demarcation extending from orbital rim, don’t respond to lasers, confused with CALM, atypical Becker’s, weird naevoid pigmentation, melasma, contact dermatitis, PIH etc . . 🔬Skin Science: Periorbital pigmentation can be complex as there are many causes of ageing eyes.Collagen, fat & bone loss occur with age, volume replacement should be considered if appropriate. Tightening can be achieved with lasers, energy devices & surgery, PIH & constitutional factors come into play. Vascular factors include increased vessels (capillaries), larger periorbital veins (blue) on the background of atrophic skin. This is usually further complicated by iatrogenic pigment incl. contact dermatitis or post procedural purpura- hemosiderin, AKA #PRP #microneedling . 🧑🏾‍🦲Constitutional Pigment: This involves the upper & lower lids ih a ‘c’ shaped pattern.
