The Clear Choice is Eyehub
Rebecca Jamieson Dwyer visits an ophthalmology clinic that feels more like a luxe spa –
and where the dedication to providing cutting-edge services is very clearly in focus.
The second you walk into EyeHub, it’s crystal clear this isn’t your average ophthalmology clinic – the sleek curves, statement wallpaper and mood lighting are more reminiscent of a luxury spa, with the same calming, relaxing effect.
Another standout feature of EyeHub, located within the Buderim Private Hospital complex, is its unwavering commitment to delivering world-class laser vision correction and cataract treatment to patients from Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and beyond.
The clinic has invested more than $1.8 million in state-of-the-art laser technology, making it the only ophthalmology practice in Queensland equipped with the ZEISS VisuMax 800 laser, widely regarded as the world’s best. But what does that mean for patients? In short: incredibly fast treatment (literally over in the blink of an eye), a lower risk of complications, and a shorter recovery time – all vital when it comes to procedures involving something as important as your eyes.
EyeHub was founded by the inimitable Dr Sonia Moorthy – a highly qualified and passionate ophthalmologist who trained with global leaders in London, Singapore, Sydney and beyond before establishing her clinic on the Sunshine Coast in 2022.
Driven to excel, Dr Sonia says she’s committed to technological innovation, ongoing education and performing at the highest level, providing patients with full confidence that they are in safe, skilled hands for this critical surgery.
“In my mind, if I can offer the best treatment available internationally, then there’s no reason not to do so,” she said. “This is the most advanced technology in the world, and it’s taken significant time, investment and training to bring it to our patients, giving them the very best level of laser vision correction.
“We’ve changed the landscape of laser vision correction in this region by acquiring the ZEISS VisuMax 800 laser, offering patients across the state a truly superior experience.”
This treatment is perfect for anyone seeking freedom from glasses – whether that’s because you surf, kayak, swim, cycle, play pickleball, or simply want to see the world in full focus again.
“The treatment is called Presbyond Laser Blended Vision, and it’s designed to treat presbyopia – the thickening of the lens that happens as we age – making it ideal for patients between 50 and 65 who’d like to be free of their glasses or bifocals,” said Dr Sonia.“We also offer Smile Pro and Lasik treatments with the same machine. Before these groundbreaking options, the alternative was something called Clear Lens Treatment, which carried more risk and required a longer recovery. This advanced refractive laser vision technology is a game-changer, and we’re thrilled to bring it to the region.”
Proving the effectiveness of the treatment and confidence in the technology, Dr Sonia has had Smile Pro and has been free of glasses since.
Cataract surgery is another key service at EyeHub. The clouding of the lens which is usually caused by age and long-term UV exposure are treated by Dr Sonia and her team using advanced diagnostics, cutting-edge intraocular lenses and pain-free micro-incision surgery. The result? Vibrant colours and clear vision for the rest of your life.
“I’m passionate about achieving outstanding outcomes for cataract patients; they’re always amazed, and many say they wish they’d done it sooner to truly enjoy life,” says Dr Sonia.
You might expect that accessing such world-class treatment in a beautiful setting would be eye-wateringly expensive – but EyeHub is committed to transparent pricing and affordability, explains Practice Manager Harry Singh. “For us, it’s about delivering the best possible experience to our patients, not making the most money,” says Harry. “Our pricing is on our website, and we also offer payment plans to help make the joy of clear vision more accessible.”
A GP referral is not necessary to visit EyeHub; just contact the team to book an initial consultation and they’ll use advanced diagnostic tools to create a personalised profile of your eyes and guide you through treatment options.
Beneath her warm, welcoming manner, Dr Sonia is laser-focused on offering patients world-class service.
“I like to push myself, that’s something that’s been ingrained in me since childhood,” she says. “The comfort zone doesn’t appeal to me; I have the drive and mental tenacity to always strive for better.”
