Al Shefa Eye Clinic Services
LASIK surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in the comfort and convenience of the laser surgical suite. The entire vision correction procedure takes less than 20 minutes and both eyes are done in the same setting. The procedure is performed using topical anesthesia (eye drops). Some patients report a slight, post-operative discomfort that can usually be alleviated with medications. Patients see a dramatic improvement in their vision within the first day. Most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two.
Al Shefa Eye Clinic utilizes ... technology to produce an excellent visual outcome that is customized to a patient’s own personal vision requirements. This unique, individualized laser treatment offers every patient an unparalleled level of safety, precision and accuracy.
Some people encounter situations in which the condition or the shape of the eye makes them a poor candidate for LASIK correction. However, a new procedure called LASEK, may often be applied to those situations with positive results. LASEK works without the need for cutting with the laser. Instead, a solution is applied to the exterior of the eye which allows the doctor to move the epithelium (outer layer) of the eye down, perform the laser correction and then slide the epithelium back into place. The procedure is quick and allows for fast healing.
PRK, or Photorefractive keratectomy, may be recommended by your surgeon as an alternative to LASIK. PRK has been shown to have the same success rate as LASIK and differs from LASIK in that a flap is not created prior to treatment with the Excimer laser. There is no cutting of the cornea, therefore, all the potential problems with flap formation and healing are eliminated. Which procedure, PRK or LASIK, is best for you will be a decision made by you and your surgeon at the time of consultation after a thorough discussion of the risks and benefits of each procedure.
A cataract is a cloudiness or opacity in the eye’s natural lens. The lens, which is normally transparent, is located behind the iris (the colored portion of the eye) and the pupil (the dark center of the eye). Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but may occur in younger individuals as a result of various medical diseases, medications or trauma. Mild cataracts may not significantly disturb vision, but as they mature, they can eventually cause blurred vision, sensitivity to light, glare and increased nearsightedness or distorted images.

In most cases, the cataract is removed using a process called “phacoemulsification.” During phacoemulsification, a small incision is made in the eye. An ultrasonic device sends vibrations into the eye to break the lens into small pieces. The pieces of the lens are then suctioned out and are replaced by an intraocular lens (IOL). An intraocular lens is a clear manmade lens that replaces the cataractous lens to produce clearer vision.
