Laser Vision Correction Information

If you need more correction than most

At NewVision Laser Eye Surgery we specialise in treating people with more challenging refractive errors. This includes those who require larger corrections and people with high amounts of astigmatism. Melbourne eye surgeon, Dr Noel Alpins, has developed a special software system designed to optimise the outcome of all laser eye surgery. ASSORT is particularly effective for eye conditions that include astigmatism. This unique process, known as 'optimisation', is now used by other surgeons within Australia and internationally. The ASSORT program uses sophisticated formulae that will revolutionise the way surgeons plan, evaluate and develop refractive surgery.

At NewVision Laser Eye Surgery, all available laser vision correction techniques are employed using two laser machines. The Nidek EC 5000 is used at East Melbourne and the VisX STAR at Cheltenham. These new generation instruments are fitted with the latest technological advancements.

The VisX STAR features enhanced and innovative smooth-scan laser technology. This refinement provides enhanced consistency and smoothing of the treated area, improving the quality of the visual result for all laser eye treatments.

The new Contoured Ablation Pattern (CAP) Method can extend treatment to include controlled strategies for the treatment of patients with corneal surface imperfections such as irregular astigmatism.

NewVision Laser Eye Surgery Clinics in Melbourne is a chosen centre for working with the latest VisX technology and Dr Alpins is an advisor to the VisX Company whose headquarters are in Silicon Valley, California.
