FREEDOM FROM GLASSES AND CONTACT LENSES

With tens of millions of successful laser eye surgeries performed worldwide, laser vision correction remains one of the most effective and trusted ways to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.

As a skilled LASIK surgeon based in Maroochydore, Dr Rylan Hayes offers individualised treatment options based on high-precision diagnostic scans and a detailed consultation. We use advanced imaging technology to determine the most suitable form of laser correction, which may include:

• LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
• Custom or bladeless laser options

Each option is carefully matched to your eye’s anatomy, lifestyle, and visual goals.

Not all eyes are suitable for laser vision correction — and in some cases, undergoing laser treatment could cause long-term issues. That’s why we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess each eye individually and identify patients who may be at higher risk.

For these individuals, Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) — also known as implantable contact lenses — may offer a powerful, glasses-free solution without compromising visual quality. This lens is placed inside the eye to provide crisp, stable vision, making it an excellent option for patients with high prescriptions or thin corneas.

As we age, the natural lens inside our eye begins to lose flexibility — reducing near vision (presbyopia) — and can eventually become cloudy, forming a cataract. When this happens, lens replacement surgery becomes the most effective vision correction method.

Using state-of-the-art lens technology, Dr Hayes performs cataract surgery or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) to restore clear, independent vision. You can learn more on our dedicated Cataract Surgery page or book a consultation to discuss premium intraocular lens options like:

• Multifocal IOLs
• Toric IOLs (for astigmatism)
• Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses
