Treatments
Lens Exchange
Lens Surgery is perhaps the best alternative for people suffering from more severe prescriptions and is also performed to remove cataracts. Lens replacement surgery corrects your refractive error through replacing your eye’s natural eye lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). By replacing the defective lens, you achieve clear vision and to a larger extent minimise dependency on reading glasses or bifocals.
Laser Eye Surgery
Laser Eye Surgery is used to correct a wide range of prescriptions, making it suitable for correcting mild to severe short sight, mild long sight, astigmatism and Presbyopia. The surgery usually involves reshaping the cornea – the transparent layer covering the front of the eye. This is done using an excimer laser. Different techniques are used to correct short sight (myopia), long sight (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia (the need for reading glasses in later life).
Cataract
This is when the natural lens can become opaque. Cataract surgery combined with a premium lens implant can also result in spectacle freedom.
Presbyond
From your mid 40's the natural ‘stiffening’ of the lens inside your eye results in the worsening of reading vision. Find out about laser options.
