Refractive Surgery to Correct
Shortsightedness, Longsightedness,
and Astigmatism

Our new "daylight Saving" fees for laser vision correction are $1500 per eye

Dependence on spectacles or contact lenses can be reduced or eliminated by refractive surgery. It is possible to correct most cases of long and short sightedness and astigmatism. It is also possible to reduce dependence on reading glasses.

People of all ages enjoy the benefits of refractive surgery.

Vision correction techniques include LASIK, Advanced Surface Ablation ( ASA ) ( LASEK, PRK ) and phakic and aphakic lens implants. Sometimes combined procedures are used to obtain the optimal result.

We have ten years experience with the Starr implantable contact lens (ICL). This device can be used for the correction of high refractive errors in young adults.

Cataract Surgery

It is normal to develop cataract with age. The crystalline lens within the eye gradually clouds and discolours leading to visual impairment.

The condition is curable with cataract surgery. The procedure involves replacement of the cloudy lens with an

Refractive surgery techniques include:

LASIK

LASIK is an acronym for laser in-situ keratomileusis.

It involves undercutting of the surface layer of the cornea with a microkeratome, reshaping the underlying cornea and replacement of the surface layer.

The operation takes 5 to 10 minutes to perform using local anaesthetic eyedrops.

This procedure is characterised by low levels of discomfort and rapid recovery.

PRK, LASEK, SURFACE ABLATION

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASEK (Laser Sub-epithelial Keratectomy) are variants of Excimer Laser Surface Ablation.

This process involves laser corneal reshaping without cutting a corneal flap.

It provides equally good visual results as LASIK. There is more post-operative discomfort than with LASIK and slower visual recovery.
