Life-changing decision

Whether you have short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism, these focusing errors need not hold you back from doing what you want to in life. Playing sports or swimming with glasses or contact lenses can be a challenge. Establishing Fendalton Eye Clinic in 1996, eye surgeon Dr David Kent and optometrist Jane Patterson brought laser eye surgery to the South Island and have been leaders in the field ever since. Dr Kent and his dedicated team have helped improve the quality of life for thousands of people by offering corrective laser eye surgery. 

Dr Kent offers state-of-the-art laser procedures SMILEpro, LASIK, and PRK to ensure your treatment is personalised. Recognised internationally by his colleagues in the field of laser eye surgery correction, Dr Kent is the New Zealand representative to the Australasian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and has recently been awarded Fellow of the World College of Refractive Surgery and Visual Sciences. 

Fendalton Eye Clinic has a team of eye care professionals. To determine if you are a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery and to further discuss the best treatment option for your eyes, Fendalton Eye Clinic offers half-hour free screening assessments for laser eye surgery with a member of the technical team. If laser eye surgery is not right for you, the team may be able to offer alternative options. Complimentary laser suitability screening assessments can be booked online through the website. In addition to these free laser screening assessments in Christchurch, clinics are periodically run in Invercargill, Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, and Timaru to advise people regarding their suitability for laser eye surgery. 

If you are over 20 years old, long-sighted, short-sighted, or have astigmatism, corrective laser eye surgery may be an option. 

“The overwhelming reward for the entire team, in carrying out laser treatments, is seeing the transformation in people’s lives, giving people the opportunity to experience things in their life that they have been restricted in doing due to glasses or contact lenses,” says Jane Patterson. 

“For many people, laser eye surgery is quite literally life-changing. Time and again, people tell us they wish they had done it sooner.”
