I’m thrilled to share that our manuscript titled “Assessing the Visual and Refractive Outcomes of PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision Treatment in Myopic and Hyperopic Presbybyopic Patients in Western Australia” has been officially accepted for publication in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.
This peer-reviewed acceptance in a leading international journal dedicated to refractive and lens-based procedures represents strong validation of the excellent outcomes we’ve achieved with PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision at Crystal Eye & Laser Centre.
A heartfelt thank you to Ricko Wong for his exceptional dedication and hard work throughout the project. I also extend my sincere gratitude to Dan Reinstein —the pioneer of PRESBYOND—and Timothy Archer for their invaluable guidance, collaboration, and expertise in refining the manuscript and navigating the publication process.
This milestone underscores our commitment to advancing evidence-based refractive surgery and delivering outstanding vision correction results for presbyopic patients here in Western Australia.
Grateful for the team effort that made this possible!

How absolutely mind-blowing are these post-op photos?

This patient came to me as a -12 diopter myope—wearing thick glasses since the tender age of 3, classified as legally blind without correction. Today? Unaided 20/20 vision (or better) after a quick, elegant Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) procedure that took under 10 minutes per eye.
In the world of refractive surgery, few things rival the sheer magic of ICL technology:
• It delivers crisp, high-definition vision—often described as sharper and more vivid than glasses or contacts ever could, with excellent night vision and reduced glare/halos.
• Perfect for high myopia (like -12D and beyond), thin corneas, or dry-eye concerns—cases where LASIK simply isn’t safe or optimal.
• No corneal tissue is removed or reshaped—your eye’s natural anatomy stays beautifully intact, and the procedure is reversible if life changes down the road.
• Biocompatible Collamer material offers built-in UV protection, no added dry eye risk, and remarkable long-term stability and patient satisfaction (often >99% achieving driving-level vision or better).
Watching someone wake up to a world in full, unaided clarity after decades of dependency… it never loses its power. The gratitude in their eyes, the freedom in their smile—it’s why we do what we do.
How privileged are we as refractive surgeons to wield this life-transforming technology? To turn “legally blind” into “crystal clear” in mere minutes?
Grateful every day for these moments. If you’re tired of glasses or contacts holding you back—especially with high prescriptions—let’s talk about whether ICL could be your game-changer.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been selected by Bausch + Lomb to implant their innovative enVista Aspire monofocal Plus lens (with Intermediate Optimized optics)—and as the first ophthalmologist in Western Australia to do so!

What an honour and privilege to be Perth and Western Australia’s first ophthalmologist to implant the ART IOL which uses natural non toxic spherical aberrations to give patients spectacle independence. I am always trying to stay up to date with the latest technologies and as a Presbyond user I have been waiting so long for this lens to come to Australia which can now give patients undergoing lens based surgery a very similar effect and outcome. Many thanks to from IQ Medical for all your help and support get this lens to WA.

Australia remains the World Champions in Pterygiums 🇦🇺

Pre and post of outcome of a nasal pterygium excision, wide Tenon’s dissection and conjunctival autograft. Stunning cosmetic outcome with a very happy patient wearing sunnies a bit more when she is outdoors.

Pre and post op comparison of a patient that I recently posted on who had a corneal transplant in his right eye.

Pre-op unaided vision was 6/120 and corrected he could only see 6/36. At 6 weeks post-op he has 6/9+ unaided vision. He pinholes and corrected to 6/6+ 🤯. More than 10 diopters of corneal astigmatism gone! The patient has retained his own cornea. There is no better cornea on the market than your own!

** Contact lens in the eye 😱 **

This is an intra-operative picture of a patient who had an Intraocular Contact Lens or implanted as she was unsuitable for . The patient was a -12 with a high degree of astigmatism. This is the reason why the ICL needs to be placed at a certain angle to successfully treat the astigmatism. The correct angle is all computer guided and extremely accurate.

After surgery the patient was seeing better than 20/20 without glasses and her life was completely transformed. From being legally blind to living free from the burden of glasses and contact lenses in a procedure that took less than 20 minutes to treat both eyes. The procedure is completely painless and as can be seen 100% bloodless.

ICL surgery dispels the myth that if you are not suitable for laser eye surgery that nothing can be done to correct your vision

**Pterygium Surgery**

Stunning cosmetic outcome following a pterygium excision with a sutureless conjunctival autograft. A wide Tenon’s membrane dissection ensured a beautiful smooth post operative surface where the pterygium was present. Happy patient, happy surgeon.

I completed my corneal fellowship 13 years ago and my Refractive Surgery fellowship 11 years ago. I am still amazed and get a massive kick out of what we as corneal and refractive surgeons can do to transform lives for the better!

Yesterday I performed a corneal transplant on a 24 year old keratoconic with 6/120 unaided and 6/36 corrected vision pre-op. Booked in for a DALK somewhere else he saw me for a 2nd opinion. As I always tell patients; there is no better cornea than your own. He opted for CAIRS as he was an ideal candidate.

This morning at his Day 1 post op assessment he was seeing 6/9 UNAIDED already, pinholing to 6/6 easily! Man!! How amazing is vision correction surgery?
