🎂 A sweet surprise for Dr. Thomas Chan! 🎂

There’s nothing more heartwarming than a grateful patient — except one who bakes!

Dr. Thomas Chan was recently gifted a homemade cake from a patient who wanted to say thank you in the most delicious way. It’s moments like these that remind us how much kindness and trust mean in healthcare.

Thank you to our wonderful patients for your continued support — and to Dr. Chan for the care, compassion, and commitment you bring to every consultation.

👓✨ A Night of Insight with A/Prof Chandra Bala & Luxottica ✨👓

We recently hosted an exclusive event with our valued optometry partners and the team at Luxottica, where A/Prof Chandra Bala shared his expertise on the latest advancements in refractive correction.

From SMILE to LASIK and ICL, A/Prof Bala broke down the technology behind today’s vision correction and what it truly takes to deliver exceptional patient outcomes — from precise diagnostics to surgeon skill and patient selection.

As one of Australia’s top refractive surgeons, multiple-time #1 ICL implanter, and the first to perform WaveLight® Plus LASIK in the country, A/Prof Bala continues to set the benchmark in surgical excellence.

Thank you to all who joined us for this insightful evening of learning, collaboration, and clinical excellence.

If you’re between the ages of 20 and 40 and you’re considering refractive laser surgery then this post is for you 🫵

We know you know there are many types of refractive laser surgeries on the market so how do you know which one is best for you?

When you come in for a refractive laser assessment, we take into consideration:
✅ Your prescription
✅ The shape of your eyes
✅ How dry your eyes are
✅ What you do for work
✅ Your lifestyle and your goals when it comes to visual outcomes

There’s no blanket a one size fits all for everyone and that’s why it’s tailored and personalised to you and your eyes only.

The beauty is, we choose the surgery that’s suitable for you and not the other way around.
