We’re excited to share a new milestone in refractive surgery at Southern Eye Specialists, the successful completion of New Zealand’s first hyperopic SMILE Pro procedure.
This breakthrough allows us to treat long-sightedness (hyperopia) using the same keyhole laser technique that’s already transformed vision correction for short-sighted patients (myopia). The result? No flap, a faster recovery, and a smooth, comfortable experience, now available to even more people who want to see clearly without glasses.
Using the latest ZEISS Visumax 800 laser, our team can reshape the cornea with incredible precision, accuracy, and speed. For patients, that means sharper, more stable vision and a quick return to daily life.
We’re proud to be the first in the country to bring this innovation to life, and to continue leading the way in offering New Zealanders world-class eye care, right here at home.
