Red Eyes: Common Causes and When To Take Action
Red eyes are common and often harmless, but sometimes signal serious eye conditions—knowing when to seek care can help protect your vision.
The team at Auckland Eye was pleased to attend the 2017 Goodfellow Symposium at the Vodafone Events Centre in Auckland over the weekend of 25-26 March.
The event provided a programme of presentations and discussions directed at primary health care professionals including general practitioners, primary health care nurses and specialists.
The Auckland Eye stand in the exhibition hall was a hive of activity with the team happily receiving requests for information regarding our services. Also, in hot demand was our valuable Auckland Eye Manual which offers a comprehensive ophthalmology diagnostic tool.
On the Sunday, Auckland Eye specialist Dr Justin Mora gave a presentation on glaucoma. It included discussion on the different types of glaucoma and treatment drops, and by all accounts was well received.
Thank you to the organisers for the wonderful opportunity to meet with a large number of New Zealand healthcare professionals in one location. As always it was a valuable event for both exhibitors and delegates.

Many people notice their eyes feel drier, more irritated, or more tired over the holiday period and it’s no coincidence.

Auckland Eye will be closed for the Christmas and New Year Break from Saturday, 20 December 2025 and will reopen on Monday, 05 January 2026 at 8:00am.
