Laser vision correction surgeries. Advanced techniques and promising results

May 3, 2023

Some doctors prefer to describe it as a precise, quick and easy operation, and not in the name of surgery, because the word surgery refers to the use of a scalpel or a surgical blade, whereas in corrective operations the laser sight, these tools are not present.

The field of ophthalmology and its various treatments are seeing great development based on lasers, as this safe beam of radiation can reduce the risk of complications usually associated with traditional eye surgeries.

However, according to doctors, conducting such operations involves special conditions, to see if the patient is an ideal candidate for this operation, since laser vision correction is suitable for specific groups of people.

In this context, ophthalmologist Dr Adel Badr said in an interview with “Sky News Arabia”:

The best technique in which we can help the patient get rid of glasses is the “femto smile” technique, which is a completely safe technique. This feature allowed us to adjust a higher number of visual impairments compared to previous figures. The technique takes place in the corneal tissue, so there is no wound on the surface of the cornea and patients never feel dry.
