Australia remains the world champions in pterygia.

Pre and post op outcomes of a neglected pterygium that advanced over the pupillary margin causing a significant drop in corrected vision of 6/15. After an excision with a wide Tenon’s dissection and sutureless conjunctival autograft, not only was the corrected vision restored back to 6/6 but a stunning post op cosmetic result was also achieved.

Excited to be part of , where I’ll be hosting a fantastic group of leading Australian and international ophthalmologists to discuss the latest advances in refractive surgery.

Our session, From Blur to Brilliance, will explore the patient journey—from initial consultation through to life-changing visual outcomes—while sharing insights, experiences, and practical perspectives from some of the field’s most respected experts.

It promises to be an engaging and highly interactive discussion, and I’m looking forward to connecting with colleagues and friends from across the ophthalmic community.

A sincere thank you to Device Technologies for supporting this event.

Our research paper on Presbyond Laser Blended Vision has just been published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.
After significant hard work and diligence, this peer-reviewed publication validates our clinical results, which have been excellent and highly consistent with previously published outcomes. We’re proud to contribute to the growing evidence supporting this transformative technique.
A heartfelt thank you to Professor , the inventor of Presbyond, as well as Timothy Archer ( )and Dr Ricko Wong for their invaluable guidance and support in bringing this paper to life.
This milestone reinforces why we do what we do — delivering life-changing vision outcomes for our patients every day.

Perth and Western Australia’s First Planned Combined CAIRS + ICL Surgery – Life-Changing Result! 👏.

Proud to share that we successfully treated a patient with advanced keratoconus who went from 20/400 unaided vision (best corrected 20/100) to 20/20 UNAIDED vision.
Prior to surgery the cornea was extremely steep and irregular. We first performed CAIRS (Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments), which beautifully regularised the cornea. This allowed us to achieve 20/20 corrected vision, but a large refractive error remained (as anticipated). We then implanted a customised ICL to correct it.
The patient is now seeing 20/20 without glasses — going from legally blind to normal vision.

A powerful example of how modern, staged corneal and lens technologies can deliver exceptional outcomes in complex cases.
Huge congratulations to the patient on this new chapter!

A moment that truly captures why we do what we do.

A patient presented with advanced keratoconus in his right eye—unaided vision of 20/400, and even with glasses, only reaching 20/150. Daily life was a challenge, with vision that most would find profoundly limiting.

Following CAIRS corneal transplant surgery, the transformation has been nothing short of remarkable.

Today, he sees 20/40 unaided—and with correction, achieves 20/20.

Even more striking than the numbers is the structural change: a cornea that was once severely ectatic is now regular and stable. What was once a progressive, vision-distorting condition has been reshaped into clarity.

This is the power of modern corneal vision correction surgery.

Procedures like CAIRS don’t just improve vision—they restore independence, confidence, and quality of life. For this patient, it has been truly life-changing: from struggling with everyday tasks to seeing the world with clarity again.

As eye surgeons and vision correction specialists, moments like these remind us how privileged we are. To be able to intervene so precisely, to reverse what was once thought irreversible, and to directly impact someone’s daily lived experience—it’s extraordinary.

Grateful to be part of a field where science, skill, and purpose come together to change lives.

🌟 From legally blind to 20/20 vision – no glasses, no contacts.
Keratoconus can make laser eye surgery unsuitable, but that doesn’t mean clear vision is off the table.
In this case, we first placed acrylic corneal rings (Kerarings) to reshape and regularise the distorted cornea. While these rings do an excellent job at stabilising the cornea, they often don’t fully correct the remaining prescription.
That’s where the ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) – also known as an intraocular contact lens – becomes the game-changer. A quick and highly accurate procedure that fine-tunes the vision to perfection.
Now this patient sees the world in stunning 20/20 clarity… completely free from glasses and contact lenses.
Vision correction technology in 2026 is truly remarkable.

Stunning cosmetic result following a pterygium excision, wide Tenon’s dissection and conjunctival autograft. The patient had significant irritation and tear film instability due to the pterygium which has all resolved following the excision.

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!
