A look back at a brilliant day at Eye on Excellence 2026 ✨

From insightful clinical discussions and new developments in eye care to great conversations, connections and plenty of moments in between, Eye on Excellence 2026 brought together the optometry and ophthalmology community for a day of learning and collaboration.

Held at the beautiful Galgorm Resort, it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, meet new ones and share a day dedicated to advancing eye care across Northern Ireland and beyond.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event and helped make it such a memorable day. We’ll see you at Eye on Excellence 2027! 👁️

YOUR EYES THROUGH THE DECADES 👀

Your eyes change as you age, and so can your vision. From laser vision correction in your 20s and 30s to options for reducing reading glasses dependence in your 40s and lens-based treatments later in life, the right solution depends on your prescription, eye health and visual goals.

Swipe through to see how your eyes can change throughout the decades, and the treatment options that may be suitable at each stage.

That's a wrap on Eye on Excellence 2026! 🎉

Eye on Excellence is our annual educational day for optometrists - a full programme of clinical learning led by our consultants and clinical team, bringing colleagues together to share knowledge, update on the latest techniques and technology and talk through the cases and questions that come up in everyday practice.
This year it was fantastic to see optometrists travel from right across the island of Ireland to join us at the Galgorm.

Our optometrist colleagues are central to what we do. They're often the first point of contact for patients, and the strength of that relationship -the trust, the communication, the shared care before and after treatment - is what makes the biggest difference to patient outcomes. Days like this are about strengthening those connections, learning from each other, and making sure patients get the best possible experience at every step of their journey.
Thank you to every optometrist who took the time out of a busy schedule to join us. We're already looking forward to next year.

A CEC Love Story ❤️

Four years ago, Victoria and Mr Mandal met right here at Cathedral Eye Clinic. Last weekend, they said “I do” against the beautiful backdrop of Athens. 💍✨

It was so special for our team to be there to celebrate this wonderful milestone with them, and to see their CEC love story come full circle.

Wishing Victoria and Mr Mandal a lifetime of happiness together! 🥂

Not suitable for laser eye surgery? You may still have options. 👁️

Being unsuitable for laser eye surgery doesn't necessarily mean you're unsuitable for vision correction surgery.

In this video, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Stephen Stewart explains the alternative treatments that may be available, including Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery and lens replacement surgery.

At Cathedral Eye Clinic, every treatment recommendation is tailored to the individual. Following a comprehensive assessment, we'll recommend the option that's best suited to your eyes, lifestyle and prescription, with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome for your vision.
