Vision correction with LASIK surgery
LASIK is one of the most popular vision correction procedures and is replacing eyeglasses or contact lenses. While LASIK is suitable for many, it is not suitable for everyone, making it important that our doctors perform a general examination of your condition in order to make sure that the procedure is completely suitable for you.

LASIK surgery
Laser eye surgery has been around since 1987 and LASIK has greatly surpassed previous surgeries. And to clarify the difference, not all laser eye surgeries are LASIK, but all LASIK operations are laser eye surgery.
The main thing that made LASIK the preferred procedure for vision correction lies in the laser’s use of highly focused ultraviolet light, which vaporizes the target cells, but does not cause any damage to the immediate areas. This is why it is called a “cold laser” treatment.
During the operation, a special type of laser is used to change the shape of the transparent tissue of the cornea, and the laser is used with high precision, and the aim is to improve vision and get rid of glasses.
Is LASIK suitable for me?
The ophthalmologist at the Batal Specialist Complex is the best person to tell you whether or not the vision correction process via LASIK is suitable for you, but it will probably not be suitable for you if any of the following are present:

Types of vision correction surgeries
LASIK, surface laser, femtosmile, and others are a group of operations that have been built to correct corneal defects and diseases. They work by improving the path and focus of light into the eye. These operations were collected and classified under one name: vision correction operations. It is any surgical intervention that will correct refractive defects of all kinds, such as: farsightedness and myopia, deviation of the eye or strabismus. Some people think that vision correction operations are limited to LASIK only, and this is actually not true. There are different types of operations and we can advise you on the correct course of action.

- The patient does not suffer from opacity in the eye (cataract).
- The vision must be stable during the last 6 months and the measurements are standardized during evaluation and follow-up in varying and successive visits.
