How much does vision correction, eye surgery cost?

:

You may think that LASIK or Vision Correction is expensive, and while it isn’t cheap, you might be surprised to learn how much money you save when compared to a lifetime of buying glasses or contacts. LASIK will prove a superior investment over the course of 20 years, and you will enjoy the added benefit of not requiring to wear glasses or put in contacts every day.

There are a number of differences between going to the public sector for your cataract surgery, and going privately through Re:Vision. Here are some of the key ones.

  1. Public waiting lists for cataract surgery are currently very long, meaning you could be waiting for up to a year. There are also restrictions with regards to the level of vision that meets public surgery standards. 
  2. Our surgeons are highly experienced and specialise in cataract surgery. Your surgeon will oversee all stages of your treatment. 
  3. We utilise the latest available technology with multiple measurements performed before the surgery to ensure you get a customised lens to meet your unique visual demands. 
  4. We typically perform same day bilateral surgery, meaning that you can have the treatment for both eyes on the same day, minimising appointments and visits to the clinic. 
  5. Premium lens technologies allow us to optimise your vision beyond what publicly available lens implants can offer. For example premium lenses, allow us to correct your vision and provide good distance, intermediate and near vision. 
  6. We correct astigmatism as standard using toric lenses – these are generally only available in the public sector for high degrees of astigmatism.
  7. We offer cataract surgery under topical anaesthesia as standard. This means your eye is numbed with drop only without the need for an injection and there is no need to wear a pad following surgery. 
  8. We provide an anaesthetist on the day of surgery to offer sedation and ensure a seamless procedure. 
  9. Laser refinement of vision is possible following cataract surgery at Re:Vision. This can help you to achieve your best possible vision.
  10. Our surgeons all have in-depth knowledge when performing cataract surgery on people with complex past eye histories including those who have had previous LASIK, because they also perform laser eye surgery. 

What are cataracts?

A cataract is the natural clouding of the eye’s lens as we age, but the process can be accelerated by diabetes, smoking and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Cataracts affect millions of people world-wide and treating them with the insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) is the single most commonly performed surgical eye procedure in the world.

Cataract removal is a painless, quick, proven method of restoring vision and can be carried out by one of our sub-specialised cataract surgeons at our Re:Vision Day-Case Theatre in Auckland. As well as eliminating the cloudy cataract, this popular procedure gives you the option of correcting the focus of your eyes to reduce or in some cases eliminate the need for glasses. A wide range of special lenses are available to improve astigmatism and give a greater range of focus without reading glasses.

Cataracts will usually affect both eyes, and in the past the outcomes of surgery were less predictable. It was typical to only have one eye operated on each day, which meant days, weeks or even months living with a significant imbalance in your vision. Fortunately modern surgery techniques mean the recovery is fast and the vision is typically much clearer that same day.

Immediate bilateral sequential cataract surgery means having both eyes done on the same day, one shortly after the other. This is now becoming common worldwide with a large body of evidence supporting its safety, efficacy and increased convenience for patients.
We have been proud to offer our patients immediate bilateral sequential cataract surgery for many years. This has always been very popular. It gives a much faster overall recovery and better visual function far more quickly, and minimizes time off work for both the patient and supporting family members.

You can call us anytime to discuss if your cataracts are suitable to be operated on in the same day, and we’ll help you make a choice that’s both safe and convenient for you.

If you have cataracts or are experiencing changes in your vision, do contact Re:Vision, the cataract specialists at 0800 55 20 20 to schedule your eye exam today, and discuss how best we can assist you in restoring your vision.

Steps of the procedure

:
1
Asssessment

Detailed measurements of the eyes are taken for safety and accuracy, and the team will discuss your options.

2
Meet your surgeon

Usually, at the same visit, you will meet your surgeon who will thoroughly examine the front and back of the eye and discuss your eyesight problems.

3
Procedure

The procedure is comfortable and quick, usually less than 20 minutes for each eye.

4
Rest

Rest your eyes until the next day.

5
Check

A follow-up appointment the next day will check how you are feeling and measure how much better your eyesight is. The vision recovers quickly, but most people have 1 or 2 quiet days afterwards.

How Cataract Surgery Works

The cataract procedure requires no stitches and allows most patients to return to their normal activities within a day or so.

Your surgeon will painlessly remove the clouded lens and replace it with a clear, high-definition intraocular lens (IOL), which will successfully restore your vision.

As the Western world’s most common surgical procedure, more advanced IOLs are being developed each year to make the cataract procedure even easier for patients than it is now and offer even better vision results.

As a leading provider of cataract surgery in Auckland, we use premier IOLs including astigmatism-reducing (toric) IOLs and depth of focus enhancing (multifocal and blended-vision) IOLs to often add a whole new freedom of vision without glasses.

Insurance companies all cover cataract surgery. Re:Vision is an Affiliated Provider with Southern Cross Healthcare with a simple automatic approval process. Our friendly staff will help to make the whole process stress-free, including helping our self-funding patients with easy-payment plans if desired.

Five star review from our cataract patient

:

"Dear Dr Trevor Gray and Team, I had my cataract operation three weeks ago. The best decision I have ever made in my life! I regret I have not done this a long time ago. I was very nervous and on edge about the upcomimg operation on both of my eyes, to be performed on the same day. But your very kind and friendly approach dispelled any apprehension about the required procedure. I can't thank you enough for your excellent professional care before, during and after the cataract operation on both of my eyes. Your team made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The operation was painless and pretty straightforward. And the end result is miraculous. I had this amazing vision on the day after my operation. The world around me has become brighter and clearer. I couldn't believe it! I had the perfect vision! I could drive my car straight away. No glasses! No contact lenses! When I look back: I have been wearing glasses all my life and my vision was gradaully deteriorating every year. And now for the first time in my life I have 20-20 vision, which I never thought possible. To anyone who is thinking of having this operation done, I strongly recommend Dr Trevor Gray and his team. You will receive the best possible care and attention. I am extremely greatful to this amazing team! Many Blessings to you!"
