Vision Correction

Vision correction with visual hardware such as contact lenses and glasses can often be a barrier or at the very least be cumbersome when attempting to perform daily tasks like reading, cooking or playing sports. Reducing the need for reliance on visual hardware to see clearly is possible through vision corrective procedures.

The aim of vision corrective procedures is all the same – to reduce reliance on visual hardware by changing the eyes’ ability to focus without the need to put on glasses or contact lenses.

Laser vision correction reshapes the cornea – the clear part at the very front of the eye and lens-based procedures requires the insertion of an intraocular lens to improve the eyes’ ability to focus.

What procedure you are suitable for will depend on the health & the architecture of your eyes and your prescription. With lens and laser based corrective procedures there are very few who are not suitable – with the ability to correct myopia or short-sightedness, hyperopia or long-sightedness, astigmatism or a combination of these, there is a procedure suitable for most.

At Hunter Street Eye Specialists, we understand that it’s not a one size fits all solution and hence customise each treatment to individual needs. The decision as to which procedure is the best suited to you requires a full eye health review and thorough discussion with the eye specialist regarding the pros and cons of each procedure.
