Pupil Centration Alignment
Ensuring treatment is aligned with the visual axis and pupil centre. Precise centration optimises outcomes.
Photophobia
Sensitivity or discomfort in bright light.
Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)
A common side effect of cataract surgery, treatable with YAG laser.
Photoablation
Photoablation refers to the precise removal of corneal tissue with an excimer laser. It is the core process behind many refractive procedures.
Pinguecula
A pinguecula is a small, benign yellowish bump on the white of the eye. It is usually caused by UV exposure, dryness or irritation.
Pterygium
A pterygium is a growth of tissue extending from the conjunctiva onto the cornea. It is associated with UV light exposure and may affect vision if it progresses.
Phoropter
A phoropter is the instrument used during an eye examination to refine a glasses prescription. It allows the clinician to compare lenses rapidly to identify the clearest correction.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is the age-related loss of near focusing ability that typically begins in the mid-40s. It happens to everyone and can be managed through lens-based surgery, multifocal solutions or reading glasses.
