Depending on your eye condition, prescription, age and other factors that we will be able to analyse at an initial complimentary clinical assessment, we will recommend one of the following procedures that will help you see clearly without glasses or contact lenses:
- Lens replacement (Read again without glasses if you’re 50-plus)
- LASIK laser eye surgery (most common vision correction treatment)
- SMILE laser eye surgery (the latest advancement in laser eye surgery)
- PRK and TransPRK laser eye surgery (if you unsuitable for LASIK or SMILE)

WHO CAN LASER EYE SURGERY HELP?
Find the laser eye surgery option right for your age. We offer unique solutions for each stage of life

Tired of missing out because you need glasses and contact lenses to see clearly?
Do your glasses prevent you from looking your very best?
We know how it feels to have glasses and contact lenses get in the way of what you most want out of life. That’s why we offer a free assessment in Brisbane to help you make an informed choice about laser eye surgery.
After you’ve had our assessment, you’ll enjoy the clarity and confidence you need to know – without a doubt – if laser eye surgery is right for you.

These days, people in their 40s and 50s are living as actively as their kids. That’s why we offer specific treatments for people whose eyes are changing as they age.
Book an assessment in Brisbane, and we’ll guide you towards the right treatment for you.

Seeking to ditch your lifetime of glasses and contact lenses for good?
Armed with varifocals, bifocals, reading specs, contact lenses and everything else – it can sometimes feel like you’re carrying around a pharmacy in your pockets or purse.
We appreciate how you’ve probably got better things to do than have to worry about your declining vision. Visit us for a free assessment, and you too can join the hundreds of thousands that experience spectacle-free vision from morning till night regardless of age.
