Vision Correction: Know Your Options

Having clear functional vision without the need for visual hardware is possible.

Marketing terminologies can be confusing and more so which to choose can quickly becomes a minefield of confusion.

To simplify, the choice falls under two main umbrellas – Corneal Treatments and Lens Procedures

Though there are different types of Corneal based laser vision correction procedures, 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.

Changing the shape of the cornea via laser changes its ability to “focus” images on to the retina hence changing the clarity of your vision without visual hardware.

Vision can also be corrected by insertion of a man-made Lens using Intra Ocular Lenses (IOL) or (ICL) Implantable Collimer/Contact Lenses. Replacing the lens inside the eye via Refractive Lensectomy or Clear Lens Exchange can reduce dependency on visual hardware, as does inserting a Phakic IOL or ICL.

At Hunter Street Eye Specialists, we understand that it’s not a one size fits all solution and hence customise each treatment to individual needs. The decision as to which procedure is the best suited to you requires a full eye health review and thorough discussion with the eye specialist regarding the pros and cons of each procedure.

Treating Cataracts: The Latest Technology

Current treatment for Cataract is removal via surgical means.

The procedure and surgical techniques have improved markedly over the years, increasing accuracy of results and better surgical outcomes. Technology has enabled surgeons to refine surgical techniques during the procedure through the improvements in Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) design and better delivery mechanisms for insertion of IOL.

Pre-Surgery measurements have increased the accuracy of visual outcomes through advancements in instrumentation. At Hunter Street Eye Specialists Dr Lim and Dr Sumich use swept source optical coherence (OCT) biometry, that has proven track record for repeatability & reproducibility – quickly becoming the industry gold standard for ocular biometry. Measuring the length and curvature of the eye accurately, assists clinicians and surgeons with IOL power calculations to achieve desired visual outcomes. Swept source biometry has been demonstrated to be more effective in measuring eyes with dense cataracts, providing surgeons accuracy in lens power calculations and hence increasing likelihood of more accurate targeted visual outcomes.

Cataract Treatment: Path to Successful Outcomes

Cataract is the clouding over of the crystalline lens causing reducing the quality of vision. Commonly caused by the natural ageing of the lens, other causes are lifestyle choices like smoking or systemic illness such as diabetes, trauma to eye and use of certain medications. Commonly gradual in nature it can in certain circumstances (usually depending on cause) deteriorate fairly quickly requiring the need for surgical intervention sooner.

The only treatment for cataract is surgery. Cataracts cannot be reversed and there are no current approved non-surgical treatments for cataracts.

To ensure successful outcome, an experienced Surgeon who utilises the latest technology is of utmost importance. Instruments, Intraocular lens & Improved surgical techniques & technology have improved leaps and bounds – with it the increased reliability of successful outcomes.

Cataract Surgery for Clearer Vision

A Cataract is a clouding over of the crystalline lens that can cause blurry vision and glare sensitivity from lights particularly at night. If a cataract is affecting you performing normal activities, then you may need to consider having Cataract Surgery.

Cataract surgery involves removal of the crystalline lens and replacing it with a silicone/acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). These IOL’s serve not only to provide clearer vision but can also provide a reduction in spectacle dependence.

Choose a Qualified, Experienced Ophthalmologist who utilises the latest technique and technology – it is best to speak to your local optometrist or GP for a referral or ask family & friends if they have had any experiences or know anyone they would recommend. See https://www.huntereye.com.au/about-our_doctors.php for information about our Ophthalmologists.

Choosing a trusted and experienced surgeon is the beginning to achieving a successful outcome.

Vision Correction Is Still Cost Effective

“It’s too expensive” is a common misnomer, when it comes to vision correction procedures.

LASIK, Clear Refractive Lensectomy, PRK, Lens Exchange – whatever the procedure may be research shows that the single upfront cost of any vision correcting procedure is far less than the incremental lifetime cost of paying for vision correcting hardware, making vision correcting eye procedures more cost effective.
