FREEDOM FROM GLASSES AND CONTACTS

If you’ve ever thought about LASIK or wished about being glasses free, make an appointment to see Dr Rylan and explore what bespoke options best suit your vision correction needs. 


Whether they are getting broken, lost, fogging up, wet, scratched, dirty, or lying in bed, glasses can be frustrating. Contact lenses can become irritating and dry, risk infection, and are inconvenient to care for.


Whatever your age, glasses and contact lenses can be a nuisance, but for most people there is an option available to eliminate or reduce your dependency on your visual crutches. Even if you’ve been in glasses as long as you can remember, we can assess your options. 


The recommended type of vision surgery to free you from glasses depends on your age, your prescription, as well as precise measurements of your eyes by our advanced equipment. There is no “one-size-fits-all” for vision surgery. The guide below can help, but a bespoke treatment plan is best discussed in person with Dr Rylan.

LASER VISION CORRECTION

Implantable Contact Lenses (aka Phakic IOLs)

Implantable Contact Lenses (aka Phakic IOLs)

With tens of millions of successful laser eye surgeries around the world, it is a phenomenal option for gaining freedom from glasses. This is at the heart of our mission as a vision surgeon to offer patients these options to improve their quality of life. There are a few different types of laser which are appropriate in slightly different circumstances - best explored with our precise measurement machines and an in depth discussion about your specific needs.


Dr Rylan Hayes is a LASIK surgeon in Maroochydore who wants to explore your vision correction options to help you become glasses free.

Unfortunately not all eyes are suitable for laser vision correction, often not readily apparent unless discovered by special measurements, and effects can be troublesome if performed incorrectly. Fortunately, our machines can identify eyes most at risk of problems from laser and Dr Rylan can guide you to more appropriate options. Implanted lenses are a fantastic option to become glasses free while offering uncompromising vision - even in eyes not suitable for laser.

LENS / CATARACT SURGERY

LENS / CATARACT SURGERY

There becomes a time in life where cataract or lens surgery is the best option for vision surgery. This is usually when our natural lens ages to the point it stops being able to accommodate - that is, loses its ability to change the point of focus from far away to up close - or certainly when the lens is opacifying from a cataract. 

Fortunately, lens and cataract surgery is an excellent option for many patients and you can read our information page here, or book a consultation with Dr Rylan to explore these options.
