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.

Types of Lenses

Multifocal Premium
Lens Implant

Multifocal lenses also eliminate or reduce the need for reading glasses (presbyopia). This treatment can ‘turn back the clock’ to restore youthful vision for close up, intermediate and distance vision. These lenses act very much like the natural lens of the eye before it stiffens as we age, offering you the full range of vision - near, intermediate and distance.

Distance Correction with
Standard Monofocal Lens

Monofocal lenses correct your vision for good distance vision only. Following the insertion of these lenses, reading glasses will be required regardless of your age, unless you opt for a slightly short-sighted lens in one eye (Monovision).

Simulated vision with Premium Lens

Monovision with
Enhanced Monofocal Lenses

The eye is purposefully treated with one eye for short sightedness and distance vision for the other using monofocal lenses. The dominant eye will have a lens for the distance and non-dominant eye will have a near lens implanted for reading and close work

Toric

Lenses for astigmatism. Toric lenses correct for astigmatism issues that arise from a different curvature of the cornea or lens in your eye (referred to as regular astigmatism, corneal astigmatism or lenticular astigmatism). Toric lenses are available for monofocal and multifocal treatments.​

Duet Procedure

This procedure is where two lenses are implanted – the primary lens and a supplementary piggyback lens. A duet procedure would be chosen in cases of complex prescriptions or where a future adjustment may be required.

Presbyopia and its Correction

As we reach our forties and beyond we develop presbyopia or worsening near focus. This usually means the constant need for reading glasses. To many healthy and active individuals this can be limiting. They often seek a solution for continued spectacle independence. This can be provided by safe and effective surgical procedures.

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive surgery or RLE is performed in order to reduce/eliminate spectacle dependence. In can be combined with cataract surgery or be performed as a Refractive Lens Exchange procedure. Similarly Laser vision correction (LASIK/LASEK) and Implantable lenses (ICL) can be used to correct sight problems in younger patients. I am able to discuss and offer all these solutions.
