Laser Eye Surgery - Explained
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
The procedure typically involves using a specialized laser, such as SupraLASIK™. This vision correction technique avoids corneal incisions and provides increased safety and comfort as compared to traditional LASIK approaches. By avoiding corneal cuts, the impact on corneal nerves is minimised which decreases the chances of post-treatment dry eye (a common issue with conventional LASIK methods). Beyond ensuring patient comfort, this reduction in dry eye risk leads to the long-term stability of vision. Choose SupraLASIK™ for a safer and quicker alternative that enhances your vision’s well-being and minimises potential complications linked with other LASIK procedures.

Aftercare of Laser Eye Surgery
- Wait 24 hours before showering, washing your face, or washing your hair.
- Avoid exposing your eyes to non-sterile water or soap, especially during the initial days post-surgery.
- Be careful with products like hairspray and shaving cream to prevent them from entering the eyes.
- Abstain from applying eye cream or eye makeup for one week to minimize the risk of infection, burning, or irritation.
- Avoid soaking in hot tubs or swimming for at least two weeks, as chlorinated water can impede healing.
- Stay away from strenuous activities or involving insports for up to one month to ensure a smooth recovery.
- Follow prescribed post-surgical care instructions.
- Keep fingers away from the eyes and use prescribed eye drops regularly.
- Wear sunglasses when outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays during the recovery period.
Laser Eye Treatment Options at Dr. Qasim Qasem’s Clinic
Focal photocoagulation is a laser treatment effective for diabetic eye disease, retinal tears, and macular edema. By creating controlled burns, it seals leaky blood vessels and forms scar tissue, aiding in the treatment of conditions like retinoblastoma and age-related macular degeneration.
2. YAG Capsulotomy
YAG Capsulotomy is also known as “Posterior Capsulotomy”. It is a highly safe and effective laser eye treatment to improve vision after cataract surgery. Using a laser, it safely removes cloudy remains and allows light to pass through the lens restoring clarity and sharpness to your eyesight.
3. Glaucoma SLT
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a modern and non-invasive laser eye treatment which helps lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma. It helps reduce intraocular pressure to preserve your vision and maintain eye health by using targeted laser pulses.
What To Expect with Our Treatment?
Scheduling your laser eye surgery with us ensures a streamlined and reassuring experience, provided by Dubai’s top eye specialist. On the day of your procedure, you’ll spend no more than two hours at our treatment center. Our dedicated team will conduct the necessary examinations; once ready, you’ll be taken to our laser-equipped treatment room.
The procedure involves a few essential steps. First, lying comfortably, rich anesthetic eye drops are applied to ensure complete numbness. Using a gentle device, your eyelids are held open without discomfort, facilitating the laser process. The laser itself, lasting a few seconds, precisely corrects your vision. If opting for LASIK, a secondary excimer laser may be involved.
After treating one eye at a time, you’ll return to the ward for a relaxing cup of tea or coffee before the final check. Our approach combines efficiency with patient comfort, ensuring you leave with a clearer vision and a sense of accomplishment.
