Today there was an updated newspaper article in the West Australian newspaper which corrects the previous “Cheaper Fix for Cataracts” article published 2 days ago.

The previous “Cheaper Fix for Catracts” article was also removed from the West Australian website.

Cataract is a common problem and surgery funding is generally fully covered by private health insurance or public hospital in Perth to start with anyway.  The claim of cheaper surgery with an additional device was misleading.

We thank Cathy O’Leary, Medical Editor from the West Australian for listening to our opinion and quoted Dr Chan’s comments.
