Vision Correction
Clearer Vision, Guided by Specialist Assessment
At IOES, vision correction begins with understanding your eyes, prescription, lifestyle and long-term goals. Our specialist team can assess your suitability for options such as LASIK, EVO ICL and Custom Lens Replacement, then guide you towards the treatment pathway that is most appropriate for you.
Overview
A personalised approach to vision correction
Vision correction is not one single treatment. The best option depends on a combination of factors, including your prescription, eye health, age, corneal measurements, lens changes and what you want from your vision day to day. A detailed assessment helps identify whether laser vision correction, an implantable lens or lens replacement may be most suitable.
- Specialist assessment helps determine suitability before treatment is recommended
- Different options may suit different prescriptions, ages and eye structures
- Advanced diagnostics support more accurate treatment planning
- Your lifestyle, work and visual goals are considered as part of the recommendation
- The aim is to guide you towards clearer vision with an option that is right for your eyes
Your Vision Correction Options
LASIK
LASIK is a laser vision correction option that reshapes the cornea to help reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It may be suitable for many people with short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism, depending on prescription and corneal suitability.
- Laser-based vision correction
- May be suitable for a range of prescriptions
- Suitability depends on corneal shape, thickness and eye health
EVO ICL
EVO ICL is an implantable lens option that may suit some patients who are not ideal candidates for laser vision correction or who have higher prescriptions. The natural lens remains in place, and a specialist lens is placed inside the eye to help correct vision.
- Implantable lens vision correction
- May suit higher prescriptions or thinner corneas
- Natural lens remains in place
Custom Lens Replacement
Custom Lens Replacement replaces the eye's natural lens with a selected artificial lens. It may be considered for patients with age-related vision changes, reading vision concerns or those seeking a lens-based vision correction option.
- Lens-based vision correction
- May support distance, intermediate or near vision goals
- Often considered when age-related lens changes are part of the discussion
Which Options May Be Right For You?
The right vision correction option depends on your individual assessment. Rather than asking patients to choose a treatment before they are reviewed, IOES helps guide each person towards the option that best matches their eyes and visual needs.
- Prescription strength and stability
- Corneal thickness, shape and ocular surface health
- Age, lifestyle and visual priorities
- Suitability for laser, implantable lens or lens replacement options
- Any early lens changes, dry eye symptoms or other eye health considerations
Advanced Assessment and Diagnostics
Vision correction planning is supported by detailed assessment and diagnostic technology. This helps the clinical team understand your eye health, measure key structures and identify which options are safe and suitable to consider.
- Prescription and visual needs review
- Corneal shape and thickness measurements
- Ocular surface and dry eye assessment where relevant
- Lens and internal eye assessment
- Discussion of the most suitable treatment options based on findings

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vision correction option is best for me?
The best option depends on your prescription, eye health, age, lifestyle and diagnostic measurements. IOES will assess your suitability and recommend the most appropriate treatment pathway for your eyes.
Is LASIK suitable for everyone?
No. LASIK may not be suitable for every prescription, corneal shape or eye health profile. Some patients may be better suited to EVO ICL, Custom Lens Replacement or another pathway.
What is the difference between LASIK and EVO ICL?
LASIK reshapes the cornea using laser treatment, while EVO ICL involves placing a specialist lens inside the eye without removing the natural lens. Suitability depends on your eye measurements and clinical assessment.
When is Custom Lens Replacement considered?
Custom Lens Replacement may be considered for people with age-related vision changes, reading vision concerns or where a lens-based option is more suitable than laser or implantable lens correction.
Will I still need glasses after vision correction?
The aim is to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, but outcomes depend on the treatment chosen, your eyes and your visual goals. Your clinician will explain realistic expectations before treatment.
