SMILE
LASIK
SMILE
As of 2014, weâre proud to be the first laser clinic in New Zealand to perform the revolutionary SMILE laser eye surgery. SMILE is currently available for the correction of short-sightedness and short-sightedness combined with moderate astigmatism. This new laser eye surgery technique is only able to be performed with the VisuMaxÂź femtosecond laser. We have upgraded from the VisuMaxÂź 500 to the VISUMAXÂź 800, which offers the fastest, most precise laser eye surgery on the market. No other current femtosecond laser has the accuracy, speed and capability of the VisuMax laser. SMILE is minimally invasive, as it only requires a small incision. The laser correction only takes a mere 10 seconds, with the surgery having a fast visual recovery rate.
LASIK
Wellington Eye Centre was the first laser clinic to perform LASIK in New Zealand in 1995 and it continues to deliver impressive results to this day. LASIK is able to correct hyperopia (long-sightedness), myopia(short-sightedness), astigmatism. It is incredibly quick to have LASIK, which is a two-step procedure. The initial step of creating a flap takes 7-8 seconds. The corneal shaping takes from 5-40 seconds depending on your prescription. This type of laser eye surgery can correct many eyesight refractions, contributing to it being the most common laser eye surgery in the world.

Got Questions?
Here are a few of our most frequent questions answered. Got a question that isnât covered? Get in touch - we are happy to help.
Most people who wear glasses or contacts are suitable - less than 10% of people who have an assessment will be unsuitable.
If you have any of the below, or are pregnant, you wonât be able to have laser eye surgery:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Lupus and other auto immune diseases
- A history of herpes simplex of the cornea
- Keratoconus
- Unstable or uncontrolled diabetes
The change in cornea shape following surgery is permanent. However laser surgery does not prevent age-related change in vision. Some people may experience an increase in their short-sight as time goes on due to the natural progression of short-sightedness.
Your eyes continue to develop up until the age of 20, therefore we donât use laser technology to correct vision before a person is in their 20s.
If youâre between the ages of 65 and 85, this is the time many people develop some cataract, so we recommend that you wait to have your vision corrected until the time of cataract surgery. The lens placed in your eye at the time of cataract surgery can correct either short-sight or long-sight. Laser eye surgery can then be used to correct focusing errors that occasionally remain after cataract surgery.
Most prescriptions are treatable with current laser technology, providing that you have sufficient corneal thickness and a healthy eye.

I would highly recommend getting eye surgery with Wellington eye center. Communication and service were both excellent and throughout the whole process I felt like they went out of their way to check in with me and ensure I was comfortable and informed. The actual surgery/recovery was a breeze and it has been such a game changer having good eyesight. Big thank you to Dr Logan and his team!
Ione Hodge
All staff, from the second you walk into the business, are so friendly and accomodating. Had a great experience overall and outcome from my laser eye surgery - wish I got it done sooner! Huge thanks to Josie (my nurse during surgery who eased my anxiousness), Christian (who did the free medical assessment and explained everything v thoroughly), Shannon the optometrist who did the post-op check ups and lastly, to Dr Logan for the life-changing procedure.
Nadia Abdul Syafieq
A great experience from start to finish. The whole team at Wellington Eye Centre are friendly and professional. Explaining each step along the way and answering any questions I had, I felt safe and comfortable thought-out. The procedure went well and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend laser eye surgery to anyone considering it, and the team at Wellington Eye Centre are fantastic.
