At its core, all laser vision correction procedures, whether LASIK, PRK, or newer lenticule techniques, work by reshaping the cornea so that light focuses more accurately on the retina. The principle is consistent; the method varies.

Cataracts are a common, age-related change in the eye where the natural lens becomes cloudy. While people often ask about a “cure,” there isn’t a medication or eye drop that reverses cataracts. Instead, cataract treatment involves replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one through surgery.

If you’ve been researching laser vision correction, you’ve likely come across terms like SMILE, SILK, CLEAR or SmartSight.

These are all forms of corneal lenticule procedures - sometimes also referred to as lenticule extraction surgery - and are often marketed as a newer alternative to LASIK.

From dawn to dusk in optometry 🌅🌞🌙

A standout moment from our Optometry Education Seminar, our panel sharing honest, real perspectives across every stage of the optometry journey. From the early days and the need for support, to building a career, to reflecting on what truly matters along the way.

Thank you to Astha, Bilal, Rocky and John, for your openness and insight, and to our own Dr. Peter Sumich for leading such a meaningful discussion.

What really resonated was this: optometry is so much more than the dark room we spend our days in. It’s about connection, with patients, with colleagues, and with life outside of work. The importance of taking time out, enjoying the journey, and recognising just how fulfilling this career can be, beyond the clinical.

Here’s to a profession that continues to evolve and to the people shaping it.
