Marsden Eye Laser Clinic offers a full range of refractive surgery to eliminate the dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
The Surgeons at Marsden Eye Specialists have been performing refractive surgery for vision correction for over 20 years with experience in all refractive procedures, including:
Laser Eye Surgery
Lens Implant Surgery
With refractive surgery many Australians are experiencing a lifestyle without the dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Refractive Surgery can treat myopia (shortsightedness), hypermetropia (longsightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia (age-related long sightedness) so glasses and contact lenses are no longer dependent on.
We offer a complimentary assessment at all our locations, Parramatta, Castle Hill, Penrith, to determine your suitability for surgery. Contact us now to book 9635 6964.

To perform LASIK, the surgeon uses a intralase to create a flap on the front surface of the eye. The Excimer laser rapidly reshapes the curve of the exposed corneal tissue, and then the flap is returned to cover the reshaped tissue. This flap acts as an 'own body band-aid' which re-adheres fully within a few minutes, without stitches. The eye is protected, the risk of infection is minimised and the natural healing process is accelerated by minimal intervention.
While LASIK does not promise perfect vision, it does hold the promise of reducing one's dependence on contact lenses or glasses, which will allow many people to more freely pursue their hobbies, sports activities or career options.
To determine suitability you will need a thorough eye examination. At the Marsden Eye Laser Clinic we invite you to take advantage of our complimentary consultation where we will perform all relevant tests and discuss all the risks and benefits of the procedure.
During the first consultation we will go through the full list of complications/risks and the benefits of surgery. If you have been selected as a suitable candidate for LASIK, the chances of success are usually 99% without any complications. Full detail of specific risks and side effects are better discussed at your consultation where results of tests will allow the doctor to fully inform you of such if any will apply to your treatment outcomes.
You can resume normal activities however, we do ask you to take care for the first 2 weeks and refrain from swimming, contact sports or rubbing the eyes.
The differences in prices are dependant on the technology and resources used. All major centres in Sydney would have the latest technology and are continually upgraded and serviced every 6 weeks. What differs is the amount of inclusive fee that the centre offers and whether there is any add on costs e.g. enhancements or high overhead costs such as advertising/marketing that the practice incur.
Visual recovery is very quick, most people can see close to their best vision within 24 hours after surgery. Straight after surgery you will experience blurry vision (like somebody has smeared Vaseline on your glasses) but you should be able to see through the blur.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic in the form of an eye drop. With you being awake for the procedure, it is more controlled because your focus on the laser beam helps to centre and align your vision with the laser for better tracking and treatment outcome.
Recovery time is approximately 24 hours. Usually we recommend you take the day of your procedure and the following day off work and resume to normal by the 3rd day.
