We'll guide you towards the best vision correction treatment option for your needs and lifestyle
LASIK
Due to its success, LASIK continues to be one of the most performed, elective surgeries in the world. LASIK is a 100% blade-free laser procedure. It can improve vision for people who have short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism.
SMILE ™
SMILE is the most significant advancement in laser eye surgery in the last decade. The procedure is 100% blade-free. It allows rapid recovery and visual freedom for people who have short-sightedness and astigmatism.
ICL
Implantable contact lenses (Visian ICLs) are the ideal solution if you struggle to wear external contact lenses and you're unsuitable for laser eye surgery. ICLs work in much the same way as external contact lenses. We place them inside your eye during a simple operation, giving you permanent clearer vision.
Don't settle for a limited tool set. Your eyes deserve a choice of every option available
Refractive lens exchange
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a vision correction procedure. In RLE, we replace your eye's clear natural lens with an artificial lens (IOL) to correct your vision focusing. This reduces or eliminates your need for glasses.
Refractive cataract surgery
Refractive cataract surgery is a procedure where we replace the cataractous lens in your eye with a new lens implant. It has the potential to improve your vision, leaving you with less or even no reliance on glasses and contact lenses.
