With a myriad of corrective refractive options, there are now very few people that are unsuitable for vision correction surgery, however the most important choice is still choosing the right Surgeon.
Choosing a trusted and experienced surgeon is the beginning to achieving a successful outcome. Dr Peter Sumich and Dr Ridia Lim can help in correcting vision and reduce dependency on visual hardware to achieve clear vision.
LASIK for those who are suitable, is still the preferred and most reliable form of corneal refractive treatment and together with femtosecond laser and wavefront guided laser treatment, it is still the treatment of choice.
Compared with the need to purchase visual hardware over a lifetime, the one off upfront cost of Laser eye surgery is still more cost effective.
