Excimer laser, which produces ultraviolet light and emits high-energy pulses, is used to remove a thin layer of corneal tissue. we enter your vision correction information in a computer and the laser beam vaporizes the surface of the cornea up to that precise depth. By breaking the bonds that hold the tissue molecules together. The cornea is made flatter to treat near-sightedness, and steeper to treat far-sightedness and/or more spherical to correct astigmatism.

Surgical procedure



Surface Ablation

Surface Ablation

PRK, EpiIasix ,Lasex

It  is an outpatient procedure, done under topical anaesthetic eye drops. It  takes about fifteen minutes.

The epithelium, the outer cell layer of the cornea, is  removed with a blade, alcohol or Micokeratome (Epilasix). Your cornea is reshaped, correcting the refractive error. Because no incisions are made, the procedure does not weaken the structure of the cornea. Immediately following surgery the eye is patched or a bandage contactact lens is placed on the eye. After PRK vision is blurry for 3 days to one week. It may take a month or longer to achieve one's best vision. Patients may be on eye drops for up to three months

LASIK procedure

LASIK stands for ‘Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis’ which means ‘ to shape the cornea within its layers with the use of the Excimer laser’,

LASIK is  performed as an outpatient procedure using topical anaesthesia with drops. The procedure itself generally takes about fifteen minutes or less. The surgeon creates a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome. The flap is lifted to the side and the cool beam of light from the Excimer laser to ’ablate ‘ i.e. remove the pre-determined amount of tissue to reshape the cornea with great accuracy and corrects the individual's refractive error.

 The flap is folded back to its normal position and the inside of the cornea and not the surface.  and sealed without sutures. The removal of corneal tissue permanently reshapes the cornea. shield protects the flap for the first day and night. Vision should be clear by the next day. . Vision should be clear by the next day. Healing after surgery is often less painful than with other methods of refractive surgery. where it bonds itself instantly. Due to the extraordinary natural bonding qualities of the cornea, no stitches or sutures are required. An eye-patch is not required

The following are some of the benefits of LASIK

·   Quick Visual Recovery

·   Very low infection rate.

·   Very low risk of scarring.

·   High degree of predictability.

·   Low enhancement rate.

·   Relatively quick procedure.

·   Minimal discomfort.

·   Preservation of all corneal layers.

·   Excellent ocular integrity post-treatment.

Advanced Procedures for Treatment of eye conditions

Custom LASIK: Individualized vision correction

Custom LASIK is a procedure that involves the use of a wave-front analyzer which enables your surgeon to customize the conventional LASIK procedure to your individual eye. This customized procedure can result in patients seeing clearer and sharper than ever before.

 The distinction between LASIK and Custom LASIK
Custom LASIK uses equipment called the wave-front analyzer (aberrometer) to accurately measure the way light travels through the eye. The resulting map of the eye is then programmed into the laser, and the laser treats the eye based on the personalized 3-D map.

Suitability:
Custom LASIK helps to treat ‘higher order’ aberrations, which are tiny imperfections in the optical system of the eye. They have a significant impact on quality of vision. In fact, higher order aberrations have been linked to visual glare and halos. Higher order aberrations have not been previously treatable with contact lenses, glasses or conventional LASIK.

The benefits of custom LASIK:
Clinical studies have shown that Custom LASIK can improve not only what you can see but also how well you can see. In the past, doctors used a standard vision chart to measure vision. . If you could see the letters, the doctor would proclaim your vision as a number, such as 20/20, 20/100, and so on. But now, with Custom LASIK, doctors are also able to focus on the quality of your vision. Many patients who have undergone the Custom LASIK procedure, report clearer vision than ever before. It is as if someone had taken an ink-pad and freshly stamped each letter on the vision-chart in bold black letters. Since Custom LASIK corrects the unique imperfections in each individual's vision, it is likely that the patient will have improved night-vision

Assessment of the Eye before Laser Correction procedure



Laser vision correction can now treat a very high degree of short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism.  Your eyes are as individual as you are and we can only assess if you are suitable for laser vision correction by inviting you to attend a free consultation carried out by one of our experienced Laser Trained Optometrists. Only after this in depth eye examination (that includes many additional tests not conducted during a standard eye examination) as well as assessing your expectations and lifestyle, can our skilled Laser Trained Optometrist determine if you are a suitable candidate

The success of your laser treatment depends on several factors including the expertise of the Surgeon and team, and the advancement of the technology used

our absolute priority is to provide you with the best clinical results, whilst maintaining the highest level of safety.

Consultation and Eye examination will takes approximately 90 minutes where you will undergo a very comprehensive examination to see your suitability to laser treatment.

We will explain the procedure which is most suited to your individual needs and answer all of your questions to enable you to make an informed decision. 

The following tests are used to establish your suitability for laser vision correction. The information gathered from the wavefront Analyser which  identifies and measures imperfections in your eye providing the Surgeon with a detailed and accurate prescription and optical map of your eyes.

Eye examination

• Visual Acuity Testing:  Measures the eye’s ability to see details at near and far distances.  The tests usually involve reading letters or looking at symbols of different sizes on an eye chart. Your uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) is what you see without spectacles or contact lenses while your best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is what you see with the optimum correction in placewithout any correction

• Lensmeter : A measurement of your spectacle power is taken to determine your current prescription strength

• Refraction : With and without dilatation to check the correct number of spectacles

• Corneal pachymetry : To measure the thickness of cornea

• Keratometry : To measure the curvature of cornea

• Slit-lamp examination : To assess the condition surface of the cornea and the eye

• Tonometry : To check the eye pressure

• Fundus :Examination of the retina

• Corneal Topography: To map the power of cornea:

• Wave-front analyzer: Identifies and measures imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods used for spectacles and contact lenses. It provides the essential data used in a Wavefront treatment

• Pupillometry: This test takes a measurement of the size of your pupils in the dark when they are at their largest, using infrared technology.

• Colour vision

• Assessment of ocular motility

 You are ineligible for LASIK if:

• You are under 21 years of age

• Your prescription has not been stable (+/- 0.5d) for the last 12 months

• You have a prescription that falls outside the acceptable range for LASIK

• You have eye diseases such as keratoconus, glaucoma, cataracts and certain retinal and optic nerve diseases

• You have eye viruses such as herpes simplex and herpes zoster

• You have Aids/HIV +

• You are pregnant, actively nursing or have not had two menstrual cycles since nursing was discontinued

• You suffer from an autoimmune disease (Lupus, Crohn's, Rheumatoid)

• You are taking drugs or undergoing therapy that suppresses your immune system

• You are afflicted with unstable or uncontrollable diabetes

• You are afflicted with an uncontrolled vascular disease

• There are laser vision correction surgery restrictions mandated by your employer.

You should alert your eye doctor if:

• You have a history of excessive scarring with injuries or other surgeries

• You have severe dry eye syndrome

• Previous eye surgery or injury

• You have eye conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (muscle imbalance)

• You have any recurrent, residual or active eye conditions which may affect healing

You have psychological problems which may affect the surgery or healing

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Eye Treatment
We will provide you with all the information you require to make an informed decision regarding your laser eye treatment.

These are some of the more frequently asked questions about laser eye treatment.

Q.  Will I be suitable for laser eye treatment?
A.  To ensure the best possible results from laser eye treatment, we are able to treat most people over 18 years of age who have had a stable prescription for 12 months. Prior to laser eye treatment being undertaken, you will attend a consultation with an Optical Express Laser Trained Optometrist who will determine your suitability for treatment based on your personal prescription, healing profile and expectations.

Q. Will I ever need spectacles again after my laser eye treatment?
A. Fewer than 1 in 1,000 patients requires spectacles for distance reading followiing laser eye treatment and the majority of those who do, only require them for specific tasks. However as we grow older a condition called presbyopia will develop eventually, and whether they have treatment or not, most people require reading spectacles at some time. However a number of new laser eye treatments that will eliminate the need for reading spectacles are currently being developed and clinically trialed. Results from Clinical studies by MEL 80 Zeiss laser indicates that 93% corrected to 6/6(20/20 )or better visual acuity at  6 months, 41% corrected to 6/5(20/12.5% with thin 3 months of treatment 

Q. Does The Eye Center  offer patient financing for laser eye treament?
A. Yes. we endeavour to make laser eye treatment affordable for every patient. We are committed to prevent finance from becoming a barrier in undergoing laser eye treatment. We offer payment plans, which will be explained further at your laser eye treament consultation. This will help to make laser eye treatment more affordable for you.

Q. Will I see better after having Wavefront laser eye treatment?
A. Yes, Wavefront laser eye treatment most often delivers improved visual results when compared to standard laser eye treatments or conventional spectacles and contact lenses. 100% of study participants on a FDA clinical trial could see well enough to drive a car legally without spectacles or contact lenses following treament.

Q. Can I have laser eye treatment on both eyes at the same time?
A. With LASIK and LASEK laser eye treatment, both eyes are normally treated at the same time.

Q. Do I need to leave my contact lenses out prior to laser eye treatment?
A. Yes, depending on the type of lenses you wear, you will need to leave them out (and wear spectacles) prior to consultation / laser eye treatment at least one week. Contact lenses may distort the cornea and lead to inaccurate measurements and treatments.

Q. Will my eyes be painful during or after laser eye treatment?
A. We use anaesthetic eye drops that completely numb your eye so you remain comfortable throughout the treatment. After LASIK laser eye treatment, patients will feel some grittiness, light sensitivity and watering for a short while. With LASEK laser eye treatment, again you will feel some mild sensations and discomfort after the treatment, potentially in the first 24-48 hours.

Q. What if I close or move my eye during my laser eye treatment?
A. Drops are used to eliminate the blink reflex and an eyelid holder keeps your eye open during you laser eye treatment. There is a very sophisticated eye tracker which follows your eye as it moves during your  treatment. If your eye moves out of line the laser tracks the slightest of movements and will not action.

Q. What level of vision can I expect to achieve after laser eye treatment?
A. The final result of your laser eye treatment depends upon your original prescription.  Although we are unable to guarantee you 6/6 (20/20) vision following your laser eye treatment, with our vast experience we are able to reasonably predict outcomes to the laser eye treatment based on the original levels of prescription.

Q. What if I am unsuitable for laser eye treatment?
A. For the vast majority of patients who want freedom from their spectacles and contact lenses, laser eye treatment is the most commonly considered procedure.  However not everyone is suitable for treatment, and fortunately for a lot of them there is an established alternative solution. We will advise you the most suitable treatment

Q. When can I return to work and be able to drive following laser eye treatment?
A. LASIK laser eye treatment has a faster visual settling time, with nearly all patients noticing a marked improvement the same day following laser eye treatment. Most people are able to drive and return to work within 48 hours after laser eye treatment unless their work environment is very dusty or dirty. Recovery following LASEK laser eye treatment can take up to 4-7 days.

Q. Is the procedure safe?
A. Yes, however, all laser eye treatments are classed as surgical procedures and as such carry some degree of risk although very small.

In terms of a medical procedure, laser eye treatment has a very low complication rate of less than 1%. The vast majority of laser eye treatment complications are minor. complications significantly affecting vision are extremely few following laser eye treatment. We will discuss any potential complications involved with laser eye surgery and explain how they are dealt with.

Q. Are all lasers used in laser eye surgery the same?
A. No, we are using the latest Ziess Excimer Laser.The ZEISS  MEL 80™ is extremely fast, it is the 5th generation laser, approved by FDA, It shortens the treatment time considerably which benefits the comfort of the patient.

This laser has a very small spot of only 0.7mm with Gaussian beam profile. This allows the finest corrections with very smooth customized treatment surfaces. MEL 80™recisely without dilating your pupil.

Q. When will my post laser eye treatment appointments be?
A. one day, one week, I month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after the procedure

When is LASIK not for me?
You are probably NOT a good candidate for refractive surgery if:

• It will jeopardize your career. Some jobs prohibit certain refractive procedures. Be sure to check with your employer/professional society/military service before undergoing any procedure.

• Cost is an issue. Most medical insurance will not pay for refractive surgery. Although the cost is coming down, it is still significant.

• You required a change in your contact lens or glasses prescription in the past year. This is called refractive instability. Patients who are:

• In their early 20s or younger, 

• Whose hormones are fluctuating due to disease such as diabetes,

• Who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or 

• Who are taking medications that may cause fluctuations in vision, are more likely to have refractive instability and should discuss the possible additional risks with their doctor.

• You have a disease or are on medications that may affect wound healing. Certain conditions, such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), immunodeficiency states (e.g., HIV) and diabetes, and some medications (e.g., retinoic acid and steroids) may prevent proper healing after a refractive procedure.

• You actively participate in contact sports. You participate in boxing, wrestling, martial arts or other activities in which blows to the face and eyes are a normal occurrence.

• You are not an adult.  Currently, no lasers are approved for LASIK on persons  under the age of 18

Complication of Laser correction Procedure
Millions of people have undergone laser eye surgery in the past decade, and living happily and safely with it. When done properly by an experienced eye surgeon, and to the suitable case, there is no serious sight threatening complications and the benefits are immense and appreciated very well. However, there are some risks which can occur, and you should be aware of their possibility

As you make your decision whether to have refractive eye surgery, consider the benefits and the risks. Also consider the cost of surgery. Most importantly, discuss your decision and your concerns with Dr Ebtisam Al Alawi  She will be more than willing to help you decide if refractive surgery is right for you

Some people experience poor night vision after LASIK. The surgery may result in undercorrection or overcorrection, which can often be improved with a second surgery. More rare and serious complications include a dislocated flap, epithelial ingrowth and inflammation underneath the flap. Most complications can be managed without any loss of vision. Permanent vision loss is very rare.

LASIK is a surgical procedure, and like all surgeries, it possesses the potential for risks and complications. It's important to note that the chance of a serious vision-threatening complication is extremely rare (much less than 1%), and for an experienced LASIK surgeon, even lower. Other complications produce symptoms that, for most patients, are temporary and can be addressed with medications or a second procedure. Every patient should weigh the possibility of experiencing complications against the potential benefits LASIK will offer. The following information is provided to you to make such an informed decision.

Under/Over Correction:
These situations result from the variability in healing patterns between patients and other surgical variables. The uncertainty of the effect of this variable healing is why a surgeon cannot guarantee a specific result from LASIK surgery. Unless severe, these situations do not usually affect overall vision results. High amounts of under-correction are generally retreated with a no-cost enhancement procedure, provided the patient is still a medical candidate. Low amounts are corrected by wearing glasses for certain activities such as driving at night. Over corrected eyes are extremely rare and most tend to regress back toward their original shape as the eye heals. However, some patients may require glasses for reading. Results from Clinical studies by MEL 80 Zeiss laser indicates that 93% corrected to 6/6(20/20 )or better visual acuity at  6 months, 41% corrected to 6/5(20/12.5% with thin 3 months of treatment

Infection:
Complications affecting the health of the eye are extremely rare, but are possible. During the early healing phase, the first 48-72 hours, the eye is at its greatest risk of infection. You will be given antibiotic drops both before and after surgery. You will be asked to follow certain instructions, including using antibiotic eye drops. Carefully following these instructions will decrease the infection rate to far below 1%. Most of these minor infections are easily treated and quickly resolved. It's very important that you faithfully see our doctors at your scheduled post-operative visits to monitor the results of your surgery.

Halos/Glare:
Many patients who wear glasses or contact lenses experience, to varying degrees, some amount of night glare even before their LASIK surgery. Glare can be a side effect from any refractive device. It can also be a side effect of laser vision correction. It is characterized by halos, glare and starbursts that are seen around lighted objects (car headlights, traffic signals) at night or in dim-light conditions. These optical aberrations occur if light is entering the eye from around the edge of the treatment area. This generally presents itself in those patients who have pupils that dilate, in low-light situations, larger than the treated area of the LASIK procedure. It also manifests in patients with average sized pupils but with moderate or high astigmatic correction. Typically, after 3 to 6 months your night glare will tend to decrease and will not be noticeable. However, for some this condition persists and should be a factor in your decision if you spend a lot of time driving at night and/or have large pupils. Recent advances in laser technology, such as the new flying spot lasers and their larger treatment zones, help to minimize or eliminate this condition.

Epithelial in-growth

Misaligned/Wrinkled Corneal Flaps:
The surface (epithelium) layer of the cornea will usually be healed within the first 12 to 24 hours after surgery. The "healing" of the corneal stroma between the ""flap" and the "bed" takes much longer and may take years to be totally and completely integrated or healed. For practical purposes, it will probably be stable and safe for most patients by 3 months post-LASIK.  These conditions can occur for several reasons. The most common is an eye that has been inadvertently bumped or rubbed. In addition, dry eyes can cause friction between the flap and eyelid and can cause displacement. A patient will typically notice a substantial change in vision when this happens. The patient should immediately call our office for an appointment. These situations require a simple repositioning, smoothing and re-adherence of the corneal flap. If managed in a timely fashion these conditions will not compromise the final outcome of your surgery.

Loss of Best-Corrected Visual Acuity:
A patient's best-corrected visual acuity is defined as the best vision they can achieve with glasses or contact lenses as measured by an eye chart. A patient's visual acuity post-LASIK is always compared to this pre-surgical benchmark. A small number of patients experience a slight loss of visual sharpness or crispness following LASIK surgery and a small number experience a slight improvement in best-corrected vision.

Either an irregularity or haziness in the corneal surface could cause a decrease in best-corrected vision. These typically are short-term conditions during the initial months of healing and are almost always resolved as the healing process progresses.

A mild loss of best-corrected visual acuity might not even be noticed or might just be a minor annoyance. A severe loss of best-corrected visual acuity would be noticed by almost every patient and might make it hard to work in occupations that require fine vision (commercial & military pilots). Severe losses of best-corrected visual acuity are extremely rare.

Corneal Haze:
Numerous studies worldwide demonstrate that the incidence of corneal haze is significantly lower with LASIK than with PRK. This haze results from the cornea's healing response to the laser vision correction procedure. Almost all patients develop trace degrees of haze but the individual reactions to it vary. Corneal haze may not affect the patient's vision at all and thus be unnoticeable, but if severe, can cause loss of best-corrected visual acuity. Although treatable in most cases, it usually resolves itself over time.

Regression:
Regression refers to the tendency of the eye, after laser vision correction, to migrate back to its original prescription. This response typically is very minimal and is accounted for by the surgeon in the initial procedure. Certain refractive prescriptions experience more regression than others. If there is significant regression you may require an enhancement procedure, if you are still a good medical candidate. If the regression is minor you may need glasses for certain activities, such as driving at night.

Severe Dry Eye:
All patients should be aware that dry eye is a potential complication of LASIK. Also, patients seeking LASIK surgery who have suffered from dry eye in the past, are bothered by contact lenses, are going through menopause or are taking birth control pills should be certain to mention these conditions during their initial consultation with our doctors. There currently are no definitive studies addressing the correlation between developing dry eye syndrome and LASIK. However, noted surgeons around the country have remarked on the decrease in the overall frequency of other complications after LASIK while the incidence of dry eye after LASIK is increasing. One of the most obvious explanations is that patients seek LASIK precisely because they are contact lens intolerant. Such intolerance is often indicative of dry eye.

At Dishler Laser Institute we perform careful preoperative slit lamp examinations with rose bengal and fluorescein staining to identify dry eye conditions.

Enhancements:
Usualy 2% of our patients may undergo a retreatment, called an enhancement. It can be for any of the complications described above, but most commonly is due to an under-correction. This is usually the result of an abnormal healing response. In most cases, a significant improvement in vision results with an enhancement, but it is important to realize that this too is a laser procedure, and therefore has the same risks as the first laser procedure. It is possible, but extremely rare, that your vision can be made worse after an enhancement. Complications can occur, even if no complications occurred during your first procedure.

If your vision is quite good after your initial LASIK procedure, but not perfect, you should consider carefully whether you want to have an enhancement. If your vision is really not satisfactory, then an enhancement is a good idea. Another consideration in whether to have an enhancement is the medical condition of your eyes. You may have developed some of the conditions listed in the Eligibility section since your initial procedure that would make you an unfit candidate to undergo another procedure. Also, you may have insufficient corneal thickness left after the first LASIK surgery to warrant another treatment. For your safety, these factors will be taken into consideration by your surgeon before making the decision for another LASIK procedure

Eye and vision

The eye is like a camera

It lets light in through the cornea, which is like a camera's aperture. The amount of light allowed in is controlled by the pupil, which opens and closes a bit like a shutter. The light focuses on the retina, which sends the image to the brain, acting as film would in order to record the light (the photo itself).

Visual acuity

•         Vision or visual acuity is tested by reading a Snellen eye chart at a distance of 6 meters

•          "normal" human eye should be able to see when standing 6 m away from an eye chart.

•          If you have 6/6 vision

Distance from the Chart

Distance which normal eye can see

•          when you stand 6 meters away from the chart you can see what a "normal" human being can see.

How the eye work

•         In order to see clearly,

•         objects need to be brought to a focus point precisely on the retina of the eye.

•         The retina can be compared to the film in a camera.

•         The light is brought to a focus point by the cornea and lens of the eye.

•          The cornea's curvature is ideally matched to it's length in the normal eye.

Refractive errors
A refractive error is the most common eye problem. When the shape of the eye is abnormal, the eye doesn't bend (or refract) light properly, and vision is blurred.

Myopia nearsightedness

Commonly known as nearsightedness, myopia is a condition in which, opposite of hyperopia, an image of a distant object becomes focused in front the retina, either because the eyeball axis is too long, or because the refractive power of the eye is too strong. Myopia usually begins in childhood, and progressively worsens until adulthood is  achieved, usually about 18 to 21 years of age. Myopia is the most common refractive error seen in children. This condition makes distant objects appear out of focus and may cause headaches and/or eye  strain.

Hyperopia farsightedness

Commonly known as farsightedne
