Medical and Website Disclaimer

Last updated: 24 October 2026

Medical disclaimer

The information on this website, including our blog articles, is general information about eye conditions and treatments. It is not medical advice for your situation, and reading it does not create a doctor–patient relationship.

Whether a treatment suits you depends on a full assessment of your eyes and health by an ophthalmologist. Please don't start, stop or delay treatment, or ignore advice from your own doctor or optometrist, because of something you have read here.

Risks and results

All surgery and other invasive procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will explain the risks, benefits and alternatives that apply to you before you decide. Before going ahead, you may wish to seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Results vary from person to person. No procedure can guarantee a particular result, or that you will never need glasses. Statistics and published outcomes on this website describe groups of patients and may not reflect your own result.

Urgent eye problems

Do not use this website, email or our online forms for urgent problems. If you have sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, a chemical splash or an eye injury, call 000 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

If you have had surgery with us and are worried about your eye, call us on (07) 3239 5005.

About our content

Our articles show their author and the date they were last reviewed, and they cite their sources. Medical knowledge changes, so information that was correct when reviewed may later become out of date.

Prices, insurance and finance

Prices on this website are current when published and may change. Your exact cost is confirmed in writing at your consultation; see our costs page for what each price includes.

Information about Medicare, private health insurance and payment options is general information only and is not insurance or financial advice. Check your cover with your health fund. Focus Vision does not provide credit.

Links to other websites

We link to other websites, such as journals, government sites and product manufacturers, for further information. We don't control those websites and aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Focus Vision is not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the general information on this website. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
