LASIK

See the world with freedom, clarity, and confidence

For over 35 years, we haven’t just been involved in vision, we’ve helped people see their world differently. From the moment you walk through our doors, our focus is on you: your story, your goals, and your desire to live life with freedom.
Because your vision isn’t just about your eyes, it’s about how you experience everything.

We understand the daily frustrations of glasses and contacts. The fogged-up lenses, the endless cycle of misplacing your specs or forgetting your case.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle.

Imagine waking up and seeing clearly, without reaching for your glasses. No lenses. No hassle. Just you and your vision. That’s the life we help people create every single day.

How LASIK Works. A Simple Path to Clearer Vision

Since the 1990s, LASIK has helped millions of people see better, safely, quickly, and painlessly. At the Laser Eye Centre, we use the most advanced laser technology available, with a completely blade-free, all-laser method that reshapes your cornea with microscopic precision.

Here’s how it works:

• A gentle femtosecond laser (VisuMax® by ZEISS) creates a flap in the top layer of your cornea.
• A second excimer laser (MEL® 90 by ZEISS) reshapes the cornea beneath, correcting your vision.
• The flap is placed back in position—no stitches, no pain, no downtime.

Why People Love LASIK at Our Centre

• Quick: Less than 10 minutes per eye
• Comfortable: Numbing eye drops mean no pain
• Proven: Trusted by eye surgeons worldwide for over 20 years
• Precise: Tailored to your unique vision
• Life-changing: Most patients see clearly within 24 hours

Real Freedom. Real Lives Changed.

You deserve more than “good enough” vision. You deserve to travel without packing contact solution. To play with your kids without worrying about your glasses falling off. To wake up and see the morning clearly—for the first time in years.

Every day, we see people take back their confidence and clarity. And every story reminds us why we do this.

What to Expect Through Your LASIK Journey

Before:

• We meet with you, check your eyes, and talk through your options.
• You'll stop wearing contact lenses a few days before surgery.
• On surgery day, avoid makeup, lotions, and perfume.

Day of Surgery:

• Meet with your surgeon for a final check
• Return 30 minutes before your procedure
• The procedure itself is quick and gentle
• Expect to rest afterwards, eyes mostly closed, vision on the way to clear

After:

• You’ll wear a protective shield that night
• Eye drops support your healing
• You’ll return the next morning for a follow-up
• Most people are back to work in 2–3 days

Worried About Travel? We’ve Got You Covered

If you don’t live in the Bay of Plenty or Waikato regions, we understand that travelling for surgery might feel like a challenge. That’s why we offer complimentary overnight accommodation to make the experience as smooth as possible.

We provide accommodation the night of your surgery, to make it easy for you to attend your first post-op appointment the next day and depending on how far you are travelling from, we can provide accommodation the night before your LASIK procedure, so you can arrive relaxed and well-rested.

We’ll take care of booking your accommodation for you as it’s all part of our commitment to making high-quality vision correction accessible and convenient for patients across New Zealand.
