I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched

My main worry before the lateral canthoplasty was asymmetry, knowing how delicate the procedure is, but I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched. It's such a relief. The surgeon and the entire staff provided wonderful care from start to finish. While I'm still in the early stages of healing, the shape is already very close to my goal. The recovery has been manageable. The biggest challenge has been sleeping upright, but that's a small thing compared to the results. I'm so glad I chose this clinic for my procedure and feel very looked after.

Rude staff. And the trip turned out to be in vain. So much time, effort and money was spent. Documents were preliminarily sent, and extracts available at that time, treatment passed, etc. They invited me to the examination and obtain a preliminary treatment plan, although it was clear to the provided procurers that treatment was impossible. They did the same thing that they had sent earlier, shrugged their hands and said Excuse me, we can’t help ...

Our Cataract Surgery with Multifocal Lens Implant Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Cataract Surgery with Multifocal Lens Implant, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Cataract surgery (one eye)

This ophthalmology procedure involves removing the cloudy lens from one eye and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens to restore vision.

Pros: Faster recovery and less post-surgery recovery time compared to bilateral surgery. Reduced risk of complications as only one eye is undergoing surgery at a time.

Cons: Possible vision imbalance if the other eye also has a cataract. May require a second surgery for the other eye if needed.

Effectiveness: 98% success rate in achieving clear vision post-surgery.

Duration: 1-2 hours.

Recovery: 1-2 weeks.

Best for: Individuals with cataracts in one eye or those preferring staged surgeries. Suitable for patients with presbyopia needing vision correction.

Prices: Cost of Cataract surgery (one eye) in Republic of Korea from AUD $3,139

Cataract surgery (both eyes)

This ophthalmology procedure involves replacing the cloudy lenses in both eyes with clear intraocular lenses to restore vision.

Pros: Simultaneous correction of vision in both eyes leads to balanced visual improvement and convenience. 95% of patients report significant vision enhancement post-surgery.

Cons: Longer recovery time compared to single-eye surgery as both eyes need healing. Slightly higher risk of complications due to operating on both eyes at once.

Effectiveness: 98% success rate in achieving clear vision with multifocal lenses.

Duration: 2-3 hours for both eyes.

Recovery: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery.

Best for: Individuals with cataracts in both eyes seeking simultaneous vision correction.

Prices: Cost of Cataract surgery (both eyes) in Republic of Korea from AUD $8,276
