LASIK (Laser In Situ Keratomileusis) is a two-step procedure. Firstly, a corneal flap is created using an Intralase Laser. Next, a second laser — the most advanced Schwind Amaris 1050RS laser — smoothly reshapes the cornea, correcting the refractive error. Once this is completed, the flap is replaced to cover the newly reshaped corneal tissue and the healing process begins. The eye heals rapidly and the flap becomes adhered within a few minutes.

This is the latest generation of femtosecond lasers, offering reduced laser time in comparison to its predecessors while making tissue separation with SMILE. We can create the lenticule in less than 10 seconds and complete a flap cut in approximately 5 seconds thanks to a faster laser pulse repetition rate of 2 MHz with a shorter suction time, this can increase peace of mind and reduce stress during your the laser treatment.

LASIK is the most commonly performed vision correction procedure in the world, ideal for the treatment of short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is painless with almost no discomfort.

Millions of LASIK procedures have now been safely carried out worldwide. In fact, LASIK eye surgery is now the most common elective procedure for adults to undergo in the western world. The latest LASIK technology means that problems from surgery are very rare indeed. As with any operation, however, there is a small element of risk. The skill and training of the surgeon are therefore critical to ensure that things go smoothly.

Our world-class surgeons use the very best technology and are able to safely treat most prescriptions and conditions 

Laser blended vision is a unique and pioneering treatment for patients with reading vision problems who need reading glasses for close vision. For this treatment, LASIK eye surgery is used to adjust each eye differently, so one eye will be used for distance and the other targeted for close-up viewing. The brain usually adapts to each eye, focusing at a different distance within six to eight weeks.

For patients with extremely high prescriptions, LASIK eye surgery can be part of a combined treatment known as bioptics. This technique corrects the majority of the refractive error with a clear lens extraction or implantable contact lens. Following surgery, any small residual error can be refined with our advanced lasers.

Bioptics is a rare procedure that can only be carried out by highly-trained refractive surgeons, since it involves highly skilled surgery in more than one field. The consultants at Crystal Eye and Laser possess experience in both lens implant surgery and laser eye surgery, making them the few surgeons offering this option in Australia

We’ll take you through the process step by step to make an informed decision regarding laser vision correction eye surgery.

Laser eye surgery is completely painless and the whole procedure typically takes around 10-15 minutes from start to finish. Anaesthetic drops are used to completely numb the surface of each eye. A femtosecond laser creates an ultra-thin flap in the cornea, and the surgeon will gently reflect the flap so that the second laser can reshape the cornea. A state-of-the-art pupil tracking device ensures accuracy and safety. If the eye moves during surgery the laser will follow the eye or automatically stop if necessary. The surgeon will then reposition the flap before moving on to the other eye.

Aftercare starts the day of your treatment.

It’s important to remember that corrective eye surgery is no different from any other kind of surgery. That’s why we’re just as committed to your immediate and longer-term aftercare.

Crystal Eye and Laser Centre will provide you with comprehensive aftercare with all the information to care for your eyes after your procedure. We want you to get the best results from your investment, that’s why aftercare is not an afterthought. We believe that how you’re looked after following your surgery is just as important as the procedure itself.

We have a comprehensive aftercare programme which checks and monitors your eye health.

Before you leave the clinic we’ll advise you on what you should – and shouldn’t do – to make sure of a speedy recovery. You’ll see us the next day for a review appointment to check on your progress. You’ll have further post-op appointments as you need them too, just to make sure you’re healing well and ready to start enjoying life to the full.

Each patient will receive a post-op package which includes the necessary eye drops. It’s our way of making sure that every patient’s journey to great vision is as successful as possible.

TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy) uses SmartSurfACE — an advanced laser eye surgery technique that corrects vision without touching the eye. It combines the benefits of Touch Free, Blade Free, TransPRK surface treatment with innovative SmartPulse Laser Technology.

This minimally-invasive procedure permanently reshapes the corneal curvature of the eye in less than one minute. It corrects refractive errors and alleviates the need for glasses or contact lenses. However, contact lenses are used to reduce discomfort during the healing period and to provide protection for the eye. The contact lenses are usually removed within four days of surgery, at your first post-operative assessment.

TransPRK is ideal If you have short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism. It is painless with mild post-operative discomfort, and most patients have visual recovery after two weeks. The Crystal Eye & Laser Centre will provide you with medication to minimise any discomfort during your recovery.

No cutting and no contact laser eye surgery

• SmartSurfACE — no physical contact, no blade, all-laser technology.
• Minimally invasive, simple, and fast — shortest treatment time of all laser surgeries.
• Cornea strength is preserved.
• Pain-free with fast visual recovery.
• Higher suitability — more candidates can take advantage of this procedure.

Trans-PRK Laser eye surgery is completely painless and the whole procedure typically takes around 10-15 minutes from start to finish. Anaesthetic drops are used to completely numb the surface of each eye. The laser is used to remould and correct your spectacle perscription without touching or cutting the eye. The laser itself takes less than one minute per eye. A state-of-the-art pupil tracking device ensures accuracy and safety. If the eye moves during surgery the laser will follow the eye or automatically stop if necessary.

This is the most commonly asked question. All surgical procedures have risks, limitations, and side effects. The great news is that refractive surgery has an outstanding success rate and safety record. Complications are extremely rare and there have been no reported cases of blindness due to the procedure itself.

The first thing people comment on immediately following the procedure is how clear everything looks. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. As the eye continues to heal, your vision just gets better and better!

Not everyone is suitable for laser refractive surgery. Depending on certain characteristics of your eyes and your requirements, your surgeon may recommend LASIK over TransPRK or vice versa.

Worry not! Even if you are not suitable for laser refractive surgery, Crystal Eye & Laser Centre can perform non-laser refractive procedures such as the latest in lens implants to restore your vision.

The procedure usually takes less than 10 minutes. Depending upon your prescription, the laser treatment itself takes between 30-60 seconds per eye. 

Yes. And the good news is the procedure is painless! Should you feel anxious, your surgeon may give you a mild sedative to help you relax.

All the common eye conditions requiring spectacle correction : Longsightedness, shortsightedness, and astigmatism.

Depending of the procedure this could be 24 hours in the case of LASIK to a couple of days in the case of TransPRK. As everybody heals at different rates, your surgeon will advise you during your one day post-op check up.
