Laser Eye Surgery and Cataract Surgery in Doncaster
LASIK and PRK eye surgery are becoming increasingly popular across Australia, as more people depend on glasses and contact lenses from an early age to have clear vision.
Laser eye surgery is the most advanced procedure for vision correction and eliminating the need for wearing glasses and contact lenses. Laser vision correction gives you naturally clear vision and allows you to live your life to the fullest.
With advanced subspecialty fellowship training in cornea and external eye diseases, cataract surgery and laser eye surgery, Dr Joanne Goh provides safe and effective laser eye surgery and cataract surgery in Doncaster.
LASIK Eye Surgery in Doncaster
LASIK eye surgery is the best option to treat short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
During surgery, the surgeon creates a flap and then lifts it to reshape the cornea underneath. The flap is put back down at the end of the surgery. The procedure is quick and painless, and patients experience full visual recovery right from the next day.
LASIK surgery is popular for treating a wide range of prescriptions because of rapid visual recovery, short downtime, and minimum discomfort. You can continue with your daily activities right from the following day with naturally clear vision.
PRK Laser Eye Surgery in Doncaster
PRK stands for Photorefractive Keratectomy and is also known as advanced surface laser ablation (ASLA). The surgery involves using a completely non-touch technique, and the cornea is reshaped directly on the surface without creating a flap.
PRK eye surgery is recommended for the individuals not eligible for LASIK
- It’s the most suitable option for people with thin or unusually shaped corneas.
- The surgery may be ideal for individuals with severe dry eyes.
- It may be the best alternative for people engaging in some contact sports, as there is no risk of late flap dislodgement.
Cataract Surgery in Doncaster
Cataract surgery is surgery to replace the cloudy lens in your eyes to improve vision. A cataract is the clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye. This development is a normal part of ageing and is therefore common among older adults. Younger adults may develop cataracts due to other risk factors such as diabetes, family history, traumatic injury to the eye, smoking or steroid use.
Some of the most common symptoms of cataracts are blurred vision, difficulties reading, difficulties seeing in dim lighting conditions, and difficulties driving at night due to glare symptoms. The symptoms are generally insidious and therefore some people may not notice these visual changes until they become severe.
Cataract surgery is the most suitable and the only option to treat cataracts. During the 20 minutes painless procedure, the eye’s cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a lens implant. The procedure not only provides the patient with clear sight may also eliminates the need to wear glasses. Different types of lens implants are available in the market, and your surgeon will determine the best one for you, considering your visual and lifestyle needs.
