Laser Eye Surgery and Cataract Surgery in Balwyn

Laser eye surgery, also known as laser vision correction, is a life-changing procedure that eliminates the need to wear prescription glasses and contact lenses. As more people are required to wear glasses from an early age, the demand for LASIK and PRK eye surgery has also increased.

LASIK and PRK eye surgery gives you naturally clear vision and freedom from wearing glasses and contact lenses. Dr Joanne Goh is an Australian and internationally trained cataract, refractive and corneal surgeon. With laser eye surgery and cataract surgery in Balwyn, she restores your vision in the safest and most effective way using advanced technology.

LASIK Eye Surgery in Balwyn

LASIK eye surgery is the most advanced and popular form of laser eye surgery. It corrects short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.

LASIK surgery involves creating a flap of corneal tissue using a femtosecond laser. The flap is then lifted and the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped using an excimer laser. At the end of the procedure, the flap is put back down.

The surgery is quick, painless and provides rapid visual recovery. The short downtime, minimal discomfort and fast visual recovery are the main reasons LASIK is the most popular vision correction procedure.

PRK Laser Eye Surgery in Balwyn

PRK eye surgery or advanced surface laser ablation (ASLA) also involves reshaping the cornea directly on the surface of the cornea without creating a flap. It is a completely non-touch technique, with cornea reshaped in a single step.

Advantages of PRK Eye Surgery

  • It is a better option for people with thin or unusually shaped corneas.
  • PRK may also be recommended for individuals with severe dry eyes.
  • It may be a more suitable option for people who engage in some contact sports as there is no risk of late flap dislodgement.

Cataract Eye Surgery in Balwyn

A cataract is the clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye. It is a common condition among older adults, but younger adults may also develop cataracts due to other risk factors such as diabetes, trauma or steroid use.

The symptoms of cataracts are insidious due to their gradual onset. Here are a few common symptoms of cataracts:

  • Hazy or cloudy vision
  • Faded colour and contrast perception
  • Increased sensitivity to bright light
  • Glare or scattering of light at night
  • Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Cataract surgery is the only option for treating the condition. During the twenty minutes surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a new lens implant. The surgery not only restores your vision but may also eliminate the need to wear glasses. Different types of lens implants are available, and your surgeon will discuss the best option with you, considering your visual and lifestyle needs.
