Laser technology
Femto-LASIK
This is the most popular vision correction surgery World-wide with very fast visual recovery. We use the advanced Femtosecond laser to create the flap unlike some other centres that use traditional microkeratome blade.
‘No touch’ TransPRK
This is an advanced modification of the traditional PRK/LASEK. Here the eye is not touched with any instrument. The laser removes the epithelium without suction, flap, blade or alcohol.
Sometimes
LASEK/PRK
Still a very effective and safe treatment but due to pain and slow recovery Dr Arbabi only uses this if you are not good candidate for other lasers.

The Benefits of Vision Correction
- Laser eye surgery is not just a cosmetic procedure. Glasses and contact lenses can get in the way of many hobbies, sports and jobs. They’re at best not practical and at worst can be dangerous (e.g. wearing contact lenses during swimming). That’s why laser eye surgery can be a life-changing procedure for many people.
- Rapid result and recovery: After LASIK you will find your vision start to improve straight away. Most people can resume office work within 24 to 48 hours after surgery
- Convenience: For many, the prospect of not having to insert contact lenses every day or clean and defog their glasses in steamy or wet weather condition is a powerful reason to choose laser eye surgery
