We often hear our clients telling others that they've "had their cataracts done and have got a new lens in."

This is an intraocular lens that is primarily used for cataract surgery or refractive lens surgery to improve someone's vision.

Are you curious about whether you're suitable or want to discuss more? Book in with our friendly team for an assessment today.

Looking for a long-term solution for hyperopia?
Glasses and contacts are good options, but laser eye surgery, ICL, and RLE can offer lasting clarity.

Wishing everyone another wonderful long weekend! Hopefully, we have some clear skies, so we're able to see the beautiful Matariki stars 💫✨️

Matariki is a star cluster, also known as the Pleiades, that signals the beginning of the Māori New Year.

It is visible in the eastern sky before sunrise during mid-winter and is made up of nine stars, each with its own significance.

The rising of Matariki is a time for celebration, reflection, and planning for the future.
