Specialists in Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in Australia. With people living longer, more active lifestyles, an increasing number are opting to have treatment sooner rather than later.

No longer do people wait for cataracts to “ripen”. With increased safety and precision patients are not only able to see clearer, but are also relatively spectacle independent for most activities.

At Hunter Street Eye Specialists in Parramatta, Dr Ridia Lim and Dr Peter Sumich utilise the most advanced surgical techniques, state of the art equipment and use the latest Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL’s) to correct long-sightedness, short-sightedness and astigmatism.

Seeing clearer without the need for visual hardware whilst removing Cataracts is the now the norm.

iLASIK LASEK ASLA PRK SMILE and epiWhat?

These terminologies can be confusing and which to choose for you can even be more so…

All fall under the umbrella of “Bladefree” Laser Vision Correction – the premise is the same – to improve vision by reshaping the cornea through the use of laser in order to reduce dependency or in some cases altogether remove the need for glasses or contact lenses.

At Hunter Street Eye Specialists, we understand that its not a one size fits all and hence tailor each treatment to individual needs.

Blended Vision

Blended Vision or Monovision is a term coined for those whose non-dominant eye is intentionally made slightly shortsighted to reduce or sometimes remove the need for visual hardware for near tasks such as reading, sewing and computer work. Though it can be achieved with contact lenses many opt to have a more permanent solution in reducing the reliance on reading glasses and so choose to have blended vision either with laser eye surgery or lens replacement procedures.

Blended vision offers a good solution for those who want to be able to perform both distance and near tasks free from visual hardware.

Refractive Cataract Surgery

With improvements in technology both in surgical techniques and Intraocular Lenses, refractive lens procedures have become more commonly performed not just purely to treat Cataract, but also to reduce dependence and often remove the need for visual hardware. In fact more candidates who do not have cataracts and not suitable for Laser Vision Treatment, are choosing to have clear refractive lens exchange in order to reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK: Here to Stay

LASIK has been around nearly 30 years and is still the preferred treatment type when it comes to laser vision correction – even with the newcomer SMILE and the old but reliable PRK and everything else in between like Epilasik and Lasek.

Surgeons and patients still prefer iLASIK for its accuracy, reliability, predictability and stability of results.
