Glaucoma - one of the leading causes of
blindness in New Zealand – is aptly described
as the ‘Silent Thief of Sight’ because it slowly
attacks our vision without warning.
A staggering 68,000 Kiwis over the age of 40 are
affected by glaucoma, which is defined by a group of
related eye diseases caused by damage to the optic
nerve that gradually steals sight without warning.
Don’t risk your eyesight, early detection via a
consultation and eye exam is your best chance of
prevention, so call Visique O’Hagan Vision Care and
book your appointment today.
Silent Thief of Sight
FORMAL PORTRAIT OF
FAMILY PATRIARCH SECURED
Decisions had to be made about how to spend existing funds, or
fundraise for special projects.
One such purchase was the formal portrait of Captain Mervyn
Stewart, father of both Hugh Stewart and his brother George
Vesey Stewart, the entrepreneur who enrolled and brought
over 4000 Irish Protestant settlers to the Bay of Plenty. Captain
Stewart’s portrait now hangs in the ballroom. The captain’s
Orangemen Ulster sash is also on display.
Settlement founder George
Vesey Stewart in 1899.
