Refractive Eye Surgery in Cape Town – Z-LASIK, TransPRK, ICL & Presbyopia Solutions

At the Eye Laser & Cataract Centres in Cape Town, we offer a comprehensive range of refractive surgery options for patients seeking lasting freedom from glasses and contact lenses.

With over a decade of experience in advanced laser eye procedures, our team combines clinical precision with the latest femtosecond and wavefront-guided laser technologies to deliver safe, stable, and highly personalised outcomes.

Our Specialised Refractive Treatments

• Z-LASIK (Femto-LASIK):
  A bladeless LASIK technique using femtosecond laser to create a precise corneal flap, followed by wavefront-guided laser correction beneath the surface.

• SmartPulse TransPRK:
  A no-flap, surface-based laser eye surgery ideal for active lifestyles, thin corneas, or those not eligible for LASIK.
  Uses Schwind AMARIS SmartPulse Technology for optimal healing and accuracy.

• Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL):
  A permanent, internal contact lens suitable for high prescriptions or patients with thin corneas who are not candidates for LASIK or PRK.

• Presbyopia-Correcting Lens Implants:
  Ideal for individuals over 40 experiencing age-related near vision loss. Premium lenses restore both near and distance vision.

• Cataract Surgery:
  Advanced phacoemulsification and lens replacement with monofocal, multifocal or toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).

• Corneal Cross-Linking for Keratoconus:
  A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea and slows disease progression.

Personalised Vision Correction with Proven Results

No two eyes are the same – even if prescriptions match. That’s why we take a customised approach to laser vision correction:

• We use wavefront diagnostics to map your cornea in detail

• Treatment plans are tailored to your eye’s curvature and optical imperfections

• Results are often more precise than with glasses or contact lenses

Our technology provides up to 25x more precision than conventional methods and supports better real-world visual performance, especially in low-light and high-glare conditions.

Conditions We Treat

• Myopia (short-sightedness)

• Hyperopia (long-sightedness)

• Astigmatism

• Presbyopia

• Cataracts

• Keratoconus

Your vision is

our priority

We specialise in refractive eye surgery, including iLasik (Femto-Lasik), CustomVue PRK, contact lens implants (ICL), as well as lens implantation for presbyopia (eyes affected by age) and we have over ten years’ experience in this technology. We also specialise in cataract surgery and corneal cross-linking for Keratoconus.

In most cases, our patients are completely independent of spectacles post-operatively. We use the latest in laser eye surgery technology to ensure that your vision is clearer than ever before. Laser vision correction is safer, more stable and more predictable today with bladeless iLasik (Femto-Lasik) technology. This process utilizes Femtosecond laser technology to create a thin corneal flap under which CustonVue wavefront-guided laser technology tailors the laser pattern to the exact corneal curvature and aberrations of the eye, taking into account the singular aspects of each individual’s vision impairment. This new technology provides even better quality of vision and can improve the visual performance of the eye in real life conditions.
