Optical Treatments
Clear Vision Shouldn't Cost a Fortune
At Bums, Tums & Gums, we work with internationally accredited eye clinics in India, giving New Zealanders and Australians access to world-class vision correction surgery — performed by highly experienced ophthalmologists who have trained and worked in leading eye centres around the globe.
Treatments We Offer
LASIK Surgery
One of the most commonly performed and well-established vision correction procedures in the world. Using a precise laser to gently reshape the cornea, LASIK corrects short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism — with most patients achieving significantly improved vision within 24 hours. Quick, virtually painless, and with an outstanding safety record.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
An excellent option for those not suitable for LASIK — particularly those over 40, or people with higher prescriptions or early-stage cataracts. The procedure replaces the eye's natural lens with a high-quality artificial intraocular lens, permanently correcting vision and eliminating the need for glasses. It also removes the possibility of developing cataracts in future — a truly long-term solution.
Why India for Eye Surgery?
India is globally recognised as a centre of excellence for ophthalmology. Our hospital partners use the latest laser platforms and lens technologies, with outcomes and safety standards that match the best eye centres in the world — at a significantly lower cost than private treatment in New Zealand.
Jackie will arrange your pre-operative assessments, your surgeon consultation via Zoom before you travel, and all logistics around your procedure — so all you need to focus on is looking forward to seeing the world more clearly.
