VISTAeyes Laser Eye Clinic is excited and proud to announce that our Director and LASIK surgeon, Dr Rick Wolfe, has recently become a Founder of the World College of Refractive Surgery and Visual Sciences (WCRSVS).

Dr Rick Wolfe writes about the different types of LASIK procedures currently available in Melbourne and explains how to decode them.

At this year’s annual AUSCRS conference, which was held virtually on 23th October and attended by over 180 eye surgeons and support staff, the theme was “AUSCRS Code to Success – What’s new in the virtual world?”

Dr Rick Wolfe was recently pleased to be invited to present at two of the four APAC Virtual Refractive Summit webisodes, which were hosted throughout September 2021. The webisodes were launched by Alcon, in collaboration with Oftalmo University and attended by refractive surgeons globally.

We’ve been amazed by the recent images and audio of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. Interestingly, over the decades NASA’s scientists and engineers have been responsible for many inventions and technological breakthroughs that help us here on Earth too! But, did you know that LASIK technology also originated at the space agency?

Custom LASIK is a personalised vision correction treatment, which uses a computerised device called a corneal topographer to measure your individual cornea, examining specific corneal irregularities (called aberrations) and calculating how to best improve your vision.
