Laser Eye Surgery and Cataract Surgery in Toorak
If you want a permanent and safe solution for eliminating glasses or contact lenses, laser eye surgery in Toorak is the most effective option available.
Laser eye surgery is a reliable and proven treatment to achieve freedom from wearing glasses and contact lenses while maintaining naturally clear vision. If you require laser eye surgery in Toorak, book your appointment with Dr Joanne Goh, an Australian and internationally trained cataract, refractive and corneal surgeon. We will ensure your eligibility for the procedure and create a personalised treatment plan for your eyes and visual needs.
LASIK Eye Surgery in Toorak
LASIK can correct a wide range of prescriptions including short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. It’s the most popular and effective form of laser eye surgery.
During LASIK surgery, a flap is first created, and then lifted to reshape the cornea underneath it, correcting for your prescription. At the end of the procedure, the flap is put back down. The surgery is painless and has minimum downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities from the very next day due to the fast visual recovery after the procedure.
PRK Laser Eye Surgery in Toorak
PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) laser eye surgery is also known as ASLA (Advanced Surface Laser Ablation). The cornea is ablated directly on the surface without creating a flap. Patients who are not eligible for LASIK eye surgery could be eligible for PRK laser eye surgery for vision correction.
If you suffer from severe dry eyes or have thin or unusually shaped corneas, PRK eye surgery may be a better option for you. It is also recommended for people who engage in contact sports to eliminate the risk of late flap dislodgement.
Cataract Surgery in Toorak
Cataract development is one of the primary reasons for visual impairment in older Australians. In this age-related condition, clouding of the eye’s natural crystalline lens results in insidious vision loss. Cataracts are quite uncommon in younger people. However, diabetes, trauma or steroid use may cause early cataract development. In some cases, it may even be congenital.
Blurred vision, difficulties reading, glare symptoms at night and difficulties seeing under low contrast or dim lighting conditions are common symptoms of cataracts.
Cataract surgery in Toorak is your only and best option if you are diagnosed with cataracts. The surgery is quick and painless. During the 20-minute procedure, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a lens implant. The surgery effectively restores your sight and may eliminate the need to wear prescription glasses. Your surgeon will determine the best lens implants for you, considering your visual needs and lifestyle.
