Intravitreal Injection
Intravitreal injection is a procedure where medicines are injected directly into the jelly-like material inside your eye known as the vitreous. Intravitreal injections are a common method to treat retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, macular oedema and vein occlusions. This procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis. Your doctor will first […]

RLE (refractive lens exchange)
RLE (refractive lens exchange) is the most suitable surgical option for age-related vision loss. It is also an option for severe myopia, severe hyperopia and severe astigmatism. RLE is similar to modern cataract surgery, where the natural lens is replaced with permanent intraocular lens. RLE is often recommended for patients over the age of 50 […]
ICL (implantable contact lens)
ICL (implantable contact lens) is a contact lens implanted over the eye’s existing lens. The ICL is a very thin lens similar to a normal prescription contact lens and works in much the same way to adjust and improve vision. ICL has the advantage of being reversible and is used for higher prescription corrections or […]
SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction)
An insight into SMILE Surgery SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction) is the latest advance in laser eye surgery, taking laser eye surgery to a whole new level. SMILE is a minimally invasive, single-step process, with one laser used to cut a precise disc of corneal tissue which is subsequently removed through a tiny laser incision. […]
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis)
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) is the most common type of laser eye surgery performed. LASIK’s eye-tracking technology is based on that used at NASA and enables surgeons to track the eye during surgery at several hundred times per second. LASIK involves the use of two lasers, the first to create a small flap […]
PRK – Photorefractive keratectomy
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery used for mild to moderate vision correction. PRK is one of the original laser eye surgeries, however, techniques have advanced over the years and it’s now often referred to as ASLA (advanced surface laser ablation) or Advanced PRK. PRK involves gently removing part of the […]
Laser Treatment for Glaucoma
Laser treatment may also be as effective as eyedrops and used as initial treatment or in combination with eyedrops. MIGS implants maybe performed, particularly at the same time as cataract surgery to lower pressure instead of eye drops. While laser treatments are as effective as eye drops, they tend to wear off over time. MIGS implants […]
Eye Drops & Oral Medications

Multifocal Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL)
Visian ICL is a refractive implant to correct common vision issues like myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.
