What is Laser Vision Correction?
Laser vision correction (LVC) is a safe and effective treatment designed to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses. Using advanced laser technology, your cornea is gently reshaped to improve how light focuses on your retina, restoring clear vision.
LVC can correct a range of common vision problems, including:
-
Myopia (short-sightedness): Difficulty seeing objects in the distance.
-
Hyperopia (long-sightedness): Difficulty focusing on close objects.
-
Astigmatism: Blurred vision caused by irregular corneal shape.
-
Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty focusing up close (treated with PRESBYOND).

Risks & Considerations
Being Informed, Staying Safe
Like any medical procedure, laser vision correction carries some risks. While the vast majority of patients achieve excellent outcomes, it’s important to understand the potential side effects and complications so you can make an informed decision.
Common, Temporary Side Effects
Most patients experience some of the following during recovery, which usually resolve within days to weeks:
-
Dry eyes or temporary discomfort
-
Glare, halos, or light sensitivity at night
-
Fluctuating vision as the eyes heal
-
Mild irritation or redness
Rare Complications
Serious complications are very uncommon, but may include:
-
Infection or delayed healing
-
Undercorrection or overcorrection of vision (sometimes requiring a fine-tune procedure)
-
Corneal flap complications (specific to LASIK)
-
Loss of best-corrected vision (extremely rare with modern technology)
How We Minimise Risk & Keep You Safe
Your safety is always our top priority. Before recommending treatment, we perform a comprehensive eye assessment to ensure laser vision correction is right for you. Using the latest ZEISS technology and strict clinical protocols, we minimise risk at every stage — from diagnostics and planning, to the procedure itself and your aftercare.
With an experienced surgical team and thousands of successful procedures performed, serious complications are extremely rare. For most patients, the benefits of clear, lasting vision far outweigh the risks. During your free assessment, your surgeon will explain your personal risk profile and answer any questions, so you can feel confident and fully informed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to your questions about laser vision correction
Who is suitable for Laser Vision Correction?
Today, ophthalmologists can treat a wide range of refractive errors, including shortsightedness, longsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related difficulty seeing up close).
Advances in modern laser technology now enable the treatment of a broader range of prescriptions. Even if you were previously told laser treatment was not an option, it is worth revisiting, as newer techniques might make it possible for you today.
What is the best age to do Laser Vision Correction?
The most important factor for laser vision correction is having a stable glasses prescription. For some, this stability occurs early, allowing for treatment as young as 18. For others, their prescription may continue to change into their early twenties. While it is not unsafe to perform laser treatment on a changing prescription, the results may not be as lasting.
How long does the surgery last?
Laser vision correction is highly accurate with high success rates. However, your eyes will still experience normal age-related changes over time.
As you age, the natural lens of your eye becomes less flexible, leading to presbyopia—a condition where near vision becomes difficult. This typically affects most people in their 40s or 50s, often requiring reading glasses. Additionally, cataracts may develop later in life, usually requiring surgery in your 70s or 80s.
For those over 45 considering laser vision correction, blended vision can be performed to address both near and far vision needs, offering a tailored solution.
In the first 3–6 months after laser treatment, vision continues to improve as your eyes heal. In some instances, depending on the healing properties of your eye, slight regression may occur in the first 12 months, which can be addressed with an enhancement procedure.
What Payment Options does EyeHub offer for Laser Vision Correction?
Please note that Laser Vision correction is an elective surgery so does not attract any Medicare rebates.
If you have private health insurance, your plan may cover some of the cost of your surgery. It depends on our plan and level of cover. Please check with your healthfund provider prior to confirming surgery.
- Full payment for your surgery is due 5 days before surgery.
- Visit our Payment Options page for information about finance options such as MediPay and AfterPay.
What do Laser Vision Correction fees include?
The fees for laser vision correction services include:
- The procedure
- Post-operative drops and reviews up to 3 months
- One enhancement treatment up to 12 months post-op, if needed
We understand that laser vision correction is a significant expense. However, it is a long-term investment, offering lasting benefits for your vision and quality of life.
