Vision Correction That Starts With You, Not Just Your Prescription

Vision Correction That Starts With You, Not Just Your Prescription

“I thought I’d be told yes or no. I didn’t realise there were options I hadn’t even heard of.”

That’s what we often hear at Wellington Eye Clinic.

Most people arrive with one big question: Can I get laser? But the real question isn’t yes or no. It’s what’s right for you, based on how you live?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers because your life, your goals, and your eyes are all unique. That’s why we created Lifestyle Vision Design, a more thoughtful way to plan vision correction.

Your Life Is the Starting Point

Some people spend hours on screens. Others are out in all weather, maybe playing sport or driving long distances at night. Some juggle work, family, and ageing eyes, others just want to stop relying on reading glasses.

That’s why we start with how you live, not just what your prescription says.

Lifestyle Vision Design is about asking the right questions:

• What does your day-to-day look like?

• Where is your vision holding you back?

• What are you hoping to achieve - freedom from glasses, better night driving, comfort at a screen?

We take all of that into account and build your treatment plan around it.

Real Patient, Real Life

Take Brian, 37 a busy dad of three who works in tech. He assumed laser was his only option but worried about dryness and recovery time. 

At Wellington Eye Clinic, we took him through a Lifestyle Vision Design consultation.

We talked about his screen use, his long commutes, and the importance of night vision for driving his kids to sports in the evenings. Based on his eye health and how he lives, we recommended ICL instead of laser something he hadn’t considered.

His response? “This actually makes sense for my life.”

We Don’t Sell Procedures, We Design Solutions

Plenty of clinics offer set packages or fast answers. That’s not how we work.

Our goal is to understand the full picture your vision, your eye health, your lifestyle and only then do we recommend a personalised path forward.

There’s no pressure, no upsell, and no rush.

It’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about helping you see clearly, comfortably, and confidently in the ways that matter most to you.

Is There a Right Time?

Many patients think they’re too young, too old, or not suitable for vision correction at all. We often see:

• Parents in their 40s struggling with readers

• Professionals worried about screen fatigue

• Young adults who want to play sport without contact lenses

• Drivers frustrated with night vision

• Adults in their 50s who never knew lens replacement was an option

Whatever your age or life stage, the right time is when your current vision no longer suits the way you live.

We’re here to help you explore what’s possible without assumptions or sales pressure.

What Happens in a Consultation

Your Lifestyle Vision Design consultation is led by a dedicated optometrist, with oversight from our surgical team. You’ll have:

• In-depth testing and eye scans

• Tear film and ocular surface review

• Questions about your daily life, vision challenges and preferences

• A follow-up with a personalised treatment recommendation

Every plan is reviewed by one of our consultant surgeons, so when you receive your options, they’re based on both science and experience.

And we’ll talk you through everything, clearly.

Why This Matters

Because this isn’t just about clearer vision. It’s about choosing the right correction for your lifestyle, so your results aren’t just sharper they’re sustainable.

We don’t want you to adapt your life to a procedure. We want your procedure to fit your life.

Next Steps

You’ll leave your consultation with clear answers, trusted advice, and a plan that fits you.
