“It’s just really freed up my life.”

As an independent optometrist, Katherine O’Dwyer knows a thing or two about vision correction. So, when it came to choosing treatment for her own eyes, she turned to Wellington Eye Clinic.

Three years ago, Katherine underwent ICL surgery, and she hasn't looked back.

Glasses had become a constant frustration and, because she experienced dry eyes, contact lenses didn't suit her. After learning that her corneas weren't suitable for laser eye surgery, she explored ICL as another option.

Today, it’s the everyday moments she notices most.

Swimming with her son. Exercising. Travelling without packing glasses and contact lenses. And waking up in the morning without having to reach for her glasses.

For Katherine, one of the biggest surprises was just how straightforward the experience felt. On the evening of her procedure, she went home and watched a film without her glasses for the first time in 20 years.

“I would definitely make the same decision again.”

Watch Katherine share her ICL experience in her own words.

Clear vision. Lasting freedom.

ICL can be an option for people with larger prescriptions, dry eyes or those looking for freedom from glasses and contact lenses.

With a quick procedure, a reversible and removable lens, and personalised care, ICL could be an option worth exploring.

8 years of 20/20 vision.

For this patient, ICL surgery was about more than correcting extreme short sightedness. It was about achieving clear vision and enjoying the confidence that comes with it.

Their experience is a reminder of how personalised vision correction can make a lasting difference.

20/20 is not the whole story.

In refractive surgery, achieving 20/20 has traditionally been one of our most familiar measures of success.

But patients don't experience a Snellen chart.
They experience the real world, fine detail, contrast, night driving, screens, sport and the quality and crispness of their vision.

That is why the emerging comparisons between ray-tracing LASIK and KLEx are so interesting.

The randomised fellow-eye study comparing WaveLight Plus with SMILE Pro didn't just find better high-contrast visual acuity with WaveLight Plus.

It also found lower higher-order aberrations, better astigmatic correction and better preservation of mesopic contrast sensitivity.
KLEx remains an excellent procedure, and there are good reasons why it may be the preferred approach for an individual eye.

But if clarity and contrast are priorities, I think we need to look beyond whether a procedure simply delivers 20/20.

The more interesting question is: How good is that 20/20?

And increasingly, that is where ray-tracing, digital-twin LASIK becomes particularly interesting.

Your vision needs change as life changes.

In your 20s and 30s, it might be sport, travel or ditching contact lenses.
In your 40s, it’s near vision, screens and reading glasses.
In your 50s and beyond, it’s long-term clarity and eye health.

At Wellington Eye Clinic, we design vision correction around where you are in life, not just your prescription.

LASIK has changed.

If you’re considering vision correction, you may have come across LASIK and KLEx procedures such as SMILE Pro. But the comparison between these treatments is changing as LASIK technology continues to advance.

In this video, Mr Arthur Cummings explains why Wellington Eye Clinic uses WaveLight Plus, a ray-tracing, digital-twin approach to LASIK, and what this means for the way treatment can be personalised to the individual eye.

He also looks at emerging research comparing WaveLight Plus with SMILE Pro, including a study in which 98% of eyes treated with WaveLight Plus achieved vision beyond 20/20 at three months, compared with 82% of eyes treated with SMILE Pro.

For Wellington Eye Clinic, the goal goes beyond achieving a good line on an eye chart. It is about the quality of vision we can achieve and choosing the approach that offers the best possible outcome for the individual patient.

Watch Arthur explain why the conversation around LASIK has changed.
