LASIK eye surgery - Al Jabor or Magrabi?
By AmericanDarling •
Through searching the internet and past QL threads, I've found 2 reputable clinics for laser eye surgery (LASIK type) here in Doha- Magrabi clinic attached to Al Ahli hospital, and Al Jabor Vision Technology. However, most of the information I've found is 3-4 years old. I'm looking for direct recommendations from anyone who has had the surgery (recently or not) with good results.
Magrabi are today synonymous with eye surgery, especially in this region. I suggest visit both Jabor and Magrabi and meet the doctors to see your understanding and comfort levels, and to know if any of them has a better or later technology than the other.
One thing, I feel I have become more sensitive to white light for the past few years. Mariam, or anyone undergone Lasik feel the same? Does bright white light make your eyes uncomfy?
Best of Luck! :)
I had undergone lasik in UAE about 9 years back. My eye power was -9 then (both eyes). Alhumdullillah today I can walk n drive without specs.
Also, something interesting, my doctor (who was the head of optho at AUH military hospital) was of opinion that he operate n leave the eye power at around -1 (rather than ideal zero) so above 40 years of age when you start to become far sighted, your power -1 will auto adjust to around +1 resulting in overall power of around zero!! Does that make sense??!! :p .. For me I may still have to wait 9 more years to judge his 'far sightedness'
Anyhow that was just a tip I accepted from him.
Magrabi are today synonymous with eye surgery, especially in the gulf. I suggest visit both Jabor and Magrabi and meet the doctors to see your understanding and comfort levels, and to know if any of them has a better or later technology than the other.
Best of Luck! :)
I've undergone LASIK surgery back in India and it works great and I dont know about the clinics here in qatar but yes it is about 9 years now i do not have any problem. check with any of your opthomologist they will be in a position to suggest you weather you are eligible or not or which clinic is advisable. Good luck
