Muscat Eye Laser Center

The annual American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeon’s (ASCRS) Symposium and Congress was recently held in Boston in which the paper presented by Dr. Maria Clara Arbelaez, Medical Director, Muscat Eye Laser Center, was voted the best paper. Titled ‘Six-month experience in ocular wavefront guided customised Lasik with an active eye tracker: clinical outcome’, the presentation focuses on an eye tracker that provides a six-dimensional mapping of the eye. This maximises precision leading to accurate results, providing an enhanced quality of vision. The technology is not only available at the Muscat Eye Laser Center but has been perfected by Dr. Maria. In the paper, she documents her experiences of using the technology most effectively and how she has perfected to generate outstanding results for the patients.

MELC always strives to satisfy our costumers and it is always very rewarding to hear of their experiences with us. We received this testimonial from Mrs Riekert Williams and felt we would like to share it. "I had Lasik done on my eye's yesterday. I cant believe that I walked in with -2.50 R and -2.75 L, walked out a couple of hours later with clear vision. It was not painful at all and I experienced no irritation. Muscat Eye and Laser Center even phoned me in the evening to see how I am doing. I received the best treatment ever, they are friendly, to the point, and very professional. I went for my follow up today, and removed my Laser glasses that I had to wear for 24 hours, and now my vision is even better. Thanks Dr Maria for sorting my eyes out, and for your good service and friendly staff." - Azelene Riekert Williams- See the original testimonial HERE
