If you have any of the following eye conditions, we can likely help you:
- Hyperopia (long-sightedness)
- Myopia (short-sightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses over 40)
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
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 could 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)
- Implantable contact lenses (if you are unsuitable for LASIK, SMILE and PRK)
- PresbyMAX laser eye surgery (Read again without glasses if you’re 40-50 years of age)
