People, who are mildly far sighted and need reading glasses, can be treated at The Williamstown Eye Centre efficiently and cost effectively with conductive keratoplasty (C.K.).

Other forms of refractive error requiring strong glasses can be corrected and tailored to the individual patient’s needs. Younger patients may benefit from implantable contact lenses, such as the Artisan implantable contact lens. This can also correct astigmatism and provide patients who are unsuitable for laser with a safe refractive solution. Older patients who are no longer able to accommodate for near may well find that PRELEX, or presbyopic lens exchange, provides them with the best refractive solution and this also avoids the development of visual symptoms of cataracts later in life.

Artiflex Implant

One of the main benefits of the implantable contact lens is that, if the refractive state of the eye changes, the lens can be removed and replaced with a different lens.

This is now a straightforward procedure and utilises many of the techniques that have been well-tried and tested with conventional cataract surgery. Thorough assessment of the eye is necessary before contemplating any of these techniques and this can be performed at The Williamstown Eye Centre with Dr. Stubbs.
