Refractive Surgery Services
Tired of glasses and contacts? Our Refractive Surgery Programme offers advanced refractive surgery options to help you achieve clear vision and freedom from visual aids. Refractive surgery is an optional eye surgery that can correct refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. These procedures reshape the cornea, the eye's outer layer, allowing light to focus properly onto the retina for sharper, clearer vision.
Conditions We Treat
Our programme addresses a variety of refractive errors, including:
- Myopia (nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
- Hyperopia (farsightedness): Difficulty seeing near objects clearly.
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
- Presbyopia: Age-related loss of near focusing ability.
- Keratoconus: A progressive corneal disorder that affects vision.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services to meet your needs, including:
- Comprehensive eye examinations: Detailed assessments to determine your suitability for refractive surgery.
- Corneal topography: A diagnostic test to evaluate the cornea for refractive surgery.
- Laser vision correction:
- LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis): A precise laser procedure to reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors.
- PRK (photorefractive keratectomy): A laser procedure that removes a thin layer of the cornea to improve vision.
- Streamlight PRK: A cutting-edge, single-step excimer laser technique that removes the epithelium without manual contact, offering a seamless PRK experience.
- Contoura vision LASIK: The latest FDA-approved advancement in custom LASIK technology, designed to enhance visual outcomes.
- Other vision correction options:
- Intrastromal corneal rings (ICR): Tiny implants inserted into the cornea using laser technology to improve vision.
- Implantable collamer lenses (ICL): A LASIK alternative for individuals with higher prescriptions or thin corneas.
- Refractive lens exchange (RLE): Replacement of the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens to correct vision and reduce dependence on reading glasses.
- Post-operative care: Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
