Common symptoms following exposure to and contact with smoke include pain, discomfort, redness and watering of the eyes.

17.01.2022 It is with sadness that North West Eyes farewells Karissa Kennedy who is moving to Queensland with her family. Karissa has been with us for 9 years. With no medical background she quickly mastered all the activities in the front office of North West Eyes. Due to a growing volume of patients, Karissa was trained in the work-up of patients as they present with various eye problems. This involved the use of many pieces of equipment to measure various aspects of the eye so that ...our doctors could better assess our patients. Karissa quickly picked up all the necessary skills to do this and has been a highly valued member of our team. It is with sadness that we say farewell and we wish her, Jason and family all the very best in their new life up north. Thank you Karissa.
