Clarity of Vision: Free from constraints of glasses & contact lenses
Enhancing eyesight through visual aids like glasses or contact lenses can present challenges during certain activities such as cooking, sports, outdoor pursuits, and even close-up tasks like reading or sewing. However, to alleviate these constraints and diminish dependence on these aids, a variety of vision correction procedures are available.
The primary objective of all vision correction procedures is to diminish reliance on glasses or contact lenses by altering the eyes’ natural focusing ability. For instance, laser vision correction entails reshaping the cornea, the front part of the eye, to enhance focus without necessitating visual aids. Conversely, lens-based procedures involve inserting a lens to bolster focusing capabilities independent of glasses and/or contact lenses
The selection of the appropriate procedure hinges on factors such as overall eye health, structure, and prescription. Both lens and laser procedures are generally applicable for most individuals, rendering them suitable for addressing a broad spectrum of vision issues, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or a combination thereof. There’s likely a procedure tailored to meet your specific needs.
The initial step invariably involves a consultation to evaluate suitability. The team at Hunter Street Eye Specialists, led by Dr. Ridia Lim and Dr. Peter Sumich, can offer a comprehensive eye health assessment and recommend the most suitable path for you. While sometimes the recommendation may be to wait, more often than not, there’s a procedure available that can reduce your reliance on glasses and contact lenses for clear vision.
