As we approach the end of 2025, I wanted to pause to reflect... This year has been an incredible journey of research, discovery, and gratitude.🙏
🌟2025 has marked a significant period of professional growth, research development (research rooted in community, which is something not all studies can say 👏) and wider recognition for my work in glaucoma and iridology, culminating in a published book.

✨ Highlights of the Year ✨

🧠 My glaucoma research was peer reviewed and published on the respected academic platform IntechOpen: https://www.intechopen.com/online-first/1221423
helping share these findings with the wider research community.
📘 I was honoured to receive a five-star review from Discovery for my published book. Softcover copies can still be found locally at The Lomond Clinic (and online).
📰 Locally, the work was featured in the Helensburgh Advertiser, raising awareness of glaucoma risk and early detection.
🌍 I had the privilege of travelling to Sri Lanka to present my discoveries, meet all the iridologists who travelled there in person whom I've known virtually for years and more recently to London, continuing important research discussions and networking.
🙏 Most importantly, heartfelt thanks to the participants in Helensburgh. This work would not have been possible without your trust and involvement.
🏪 Grateful for all my clients who come sometimes from afar for a consultation face to face at The Lomond Clinic in Helensburgh and for everybody abroad who find my service beneficial virtually.
🌎🌍🌏 Thanks goes also to all of you on here who support this page. A year of learning, collaboration, and progress. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 💖

Wouldn’t it be amazing to spot potential health issues before they become symptoms… or show up on standard medical tests?

That’s one of the most powerful aspects of Integrated Iridology.

By examining the iris — the coloured part of your eye — Iridologists can observe inherited patterns, constitutional strengths and weaknesses, and areas under stress, all of which offer insight into how your body is functioning beneath the surface.

Think of it as your body’s own early-warning system — not to diagnose disease, but to guide preventative action.

When we can identify where the body is under strain or not functioning optimally, we’re better equipped to support it — naturally, gently, and holistically.

Prevention is powerful!

This is Helensburgh, on the west of Scotland, by the shore where I live and work. Some places are magical, aren't they? How is it where you are?

Paediatric Glaucoma (Childhood Glaucoma)
Paediatric glaucoma is a rare but serious eye disease in infants and children caused by raised intra-ocular pressure (IOP) due to abnormal development or damage of the eye’s drainage system. If not treated early, it can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness.
🔹 Types of Paediatric Glaucoma
Primary Congenital Glaucoma
Present at birth or within the first 3 years of life
Caused by abnormal development of the trabecular meshwork
Most common type
Juvenile Open-Angle Glaucoma
Occurs in older children and teenagers
Similar to adult open-angle glaucoma
Often inherited
Secondary Paediatric Glaucoma
Occurs due to other conditions such as:
Eye trauma
Cataract surgery
Uveitis
Congenital syndromes (e.g., Sturge-Weber syndrome)
🔹 Causes
Poor development of the eye’s drainage angle
Genetic factors (family history)
Eye injury or inflammation
Certain systemic or ocular syndromes
🔹 Signs & Symptoms (Very Important 🚨)
In infants and young children:
👁️ Enlarged eye (Buphthalmos)
😢 Excessive tearing
💡 Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
☁️ Cloudy or hazy cornea
👀 Frequent blinking
In older children:
Blurred vision
Eye pain or headache
Reduced vision
🔹 Diagnosis
Measurement of intra-ocular pressure (often under anesthesia in infants)
Examination of cornea and optic nerve
Gonioscopy (angle examination)
Axial length and corneal diameter measurement
🔹 Treatment
⚠️ Surgery is the main treatment in paediatric glaucoma.
Goniotomy
Trabeculotomy
Trabeculectomy
Glaucoma drainage devices
🔹 Medicines (eye drops) are supportive, not curative:
Used before surgery or when surgery is delayed
Beta-blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (with caution)
🔹 Prognosis
Excellent if diagnosed and treated early
Delayed treatment can cause irreversible optic nerve damage
Lifelong follow-up is essential
🔹 Key Message for Parents 👨‍👩‍👧
Early detection saves sight.
If a child has watering, light sensitivity, or enlarged eyes, seek immediate eye examination
