The outcomes of our Cataract Surgery are benchmarked against world’s best practice. We audit our results so that we know the quality and value of the work we do is second to none. We provide professional advice about benefits, risks, expectations and likely outcomes together with comprehensive information about cost effectiveness. Most patients who undergo lens replacement surgery, for visually significant cataracts, can expect to be spectacle independent most of the time. We aim to achieve excellent results by using our extensive experience to select the preferred presbyopia correcting replacement intraocular lens combinations, made from the most reliable lens materials, by the best artisans in the trade.
The Cataract Centre within Brisbane Eye Clinic is streamlined, affordable and patient focused. We aim for the best outcomes by using high fidelity equipment, advanced methodology and precise interpretation of predictive data.
