Dr Alison Chiu leads the way in presbyopia treatments, offering innovative solutions like ICL Viva and Presbyond for patients in Australia and internationally.
-- A New Era in Presbyopia Treatment
Dr Alison Chiu, the Medical Director of Pure Sight Eye Surgeons, is at the forefront of revolutionizing surgical vision correction and presbyopia treatment in Australia and New Zealand. Her personalized approach to vision correction, combined with state-of-the-art technologies, has made her practice a top destination for patients seeking effective solutions for age-related near-vision loss.
Dr Alison Chiu’s clinic offers a comprehensive range of advanced vision correction treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. These include laser eye surgery (such as LASIK, LALEX / SMILE Pro, and PRK), ICL surgery (permanent and also reversible implantable contact lenses including the ICL Viva), and Presbyond - procedures that address presbyopia, the natural near-vision loss that occurs with age. Dr Chiu also performs refractive lens exchange (RLE) and cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), including the latest extended depth of focus (EDOF) and multifocal (MFIOL) designs. These cutting-edge vision correction solutions help patients restore all ranges of vision and reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses, offering a truly transformative approach to rejuvenating and restoring vision in Sydney, Australia.
Leading the Charge with ICL Viva and Presbyond
Dr Chiu’s pioneering work in presbyopia treatment has made her the first surgeon in Australia and New Zealand to implant the ICL Viva, a next-generation implantable reversible contact lens designed specifically for presbyopia. As one of only a few highly experienced ICL surgeons in the country providing access to this technology, she has brought a groundbreaking solution to patients seeking to free themselves from reading glasses.
In addition to the ICL Viva, Dr Chiu also offers Presbyond, an advanced laser procedure for presbyopia correction. By combining these two leading technologies, Dr Chiu ensures that her patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatment options based on their unique visual needs. She is the only surgeon in Australia with access to both technologies.
Additionally, some patients are better suited to refractive lens exchange or cataract surgery to gain freedom from glasses, and Dr Chiu and her clinic, Pure Sight Eye Surgeons, provide award-winning, expert high-level individualised care.
“Presbyopia can be frustrating, especially as it affects so many people in their 40s and beyond,” says Dr Chiu. “Being able to offer all solutions allows us to give patients the freedom to see clearly at all distances, without sacrificing the quality of their vision. It’s incredibly rewarding to bring these innovative technologies to patients in Australia and internationally.”
