Our Treatments
Customised LASIK
Customised LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery that uses advanced measurements to tailor treatment to your eyes. It’s one of several options we may recommend based on your vision and prescription.
PRK
PRK is a laser eye surgery option that reshapes the cornea to improve vision affected by short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism. It may be preferred for patients with thinner corneas or active lifestyles.
READ
READ is an advanced laser procedure designed for people who wear multifocal or reading glasses. It may help reduce the need for distance and near-vision eyewear by addressing age-related vision changes.
ICL
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is a procedure where a flexible, clear lens is placed inside the eye. It may be suitable for people who are not candidates for laser surgery but still want vision correction.
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy natural lens with a clear artificial one. This can help improve clarity in bright or low-light settings and support more comfortable day-to-day vision.
Lens Exchange
Lens exchange is a vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with a clear artificial one. It’s often recommended for people with high prescriptions or age-related vision changes, including presbyopia. Unlike cataract surgery, it’s typically performed before the lens becomes cloudy.
Customised LASIK
The revolutionary “Customised LASIK” laser eye procedure, proven to enhance vision beyond what is traditionally defined as perfect (or 20/20).
PRK
This procedure uses a laser to reshape the cornea to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
READ
Ground breaking laser vision correction method designed for those who wear multifocal glasses, offering freedom from both distance and near-vision glasses.
ICL
A procedure where an advanced, thin, clear lens that functions similar to a contact lens, is surgically implanted into the eye.
Cataract Surgery
A procedure to remove the cloudy lens and to replace it with a new, artificial intraocular lens that can provide a better quality of vision.
Lens Exchange
A procedure to remove the natural lens and to replace it with a new, artificial intraocular lens – to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism or presbyopia.
