Pinhole Lenses

Pinhole lenses are extremely versatile intraocular lenses that are mainly reserved for patients with a non-uniform or irregular corneas

The lenses have an inbuilt pinhole and works on the same “pinhole” effect as a camera to concentrate light onto the retina and therefor reducing light scatter that is induced by irregular corneas.

Despite the pinhole in the lens it does not affect the patient’s visual field and is very well tolerated.

These lenses are ideal in the following patients who have cataract and:

Keratoconus
Pellucid Marginal degeneration
Radial keratotomies or “RK”
Corneal transplants

Pinhole lenses can also be implanted in eye without irregular corneas to enhance the depth of field. Pinhole lenses are regarded as true Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses.
They can be implanted in a patient’s non dominant eye to aid with spectacle independence. I do not routinely use pinhole lenses for this purpose as better intraocular lenses are available to give superior reading outcomes.

My Mission Statement:

I am dedicated to providing the best clinical expertise and the highest standard of care.

This is on a personal and professional level, to give all my patients of all ages the best opportunity for a lifetime of healthy eyes and excellent vision.

Over the past 20 years I have had the absolute pleasure of helping tens of thousands of patients of various ages improve and maintain their vision. Helping patients to free themselves from the burden of glasses and contact lenses is my passion.

To perform microsurgery on the eyes requires exceptional surgical skill and acumen. To perform all types of eye surgery and any other ocular surgery at a world class level requires expertise along with access to state of the art and the world’s best equipment. For this reason I have spent a total of 17 years training and perfecting my surgical armamentarium and spared no cent to acquire the best and most advanced diagnostic, surgical and laser equipment in the world to provide my patients with world class care.

I understand that getting surgery, especially on your eyes, is a serious decision and can cause anxiety in some. Your eyes are unique, and you should demand a bespoke solution tailored to your lifestyle, visual requirements and goals. That is why I offer the most thorough and intense medical examination and consultation that any patient will ever go through. During your consultation we will meet, and I can take the time to answer all your questions and talk through any concerns you have.

I am passionate about transforming people’s lives by transforming their vision. I look forward to spending time with you at our stunning and state of the art clinics in Booragoon and Craigie to see whether you could gain exceptional vision and eye health
