Muscat Eye Laser Center recently played host to two leading Iranian ophthalmologists, in the latest in a growing trend of visits by international eye surgeons to Oman’s pre-eminent eye care centre. Dr. Mir Mohammed Sadeghi, MD, Ophthalmologist and Dr. Soheil Adib Moghaddam, MD, Ophthalmologist and specialist in cataract and refractive surgery, spent a week in Muscat primarily to get acquainted with Muscat Eye Laser Center’s use of cutting-edge technology and surgical techniques.
Of particular interest to the visiting pair was the Center’s expertise in performing eye surgeries with the aid of a revolutionary laser called ‘Schwind Amaris’.
“We came here to observe at first-hand the surgical procedures employed by Dr. Maria Clara Arbelaez, whom we regard as a pioneer in refractive surgery in the region. We also had the opportunity to watch Dr. Maria perform surgeries with the use of the ‘Schwind Amaris’, which has also been newly installed in our clinic back home in Tehran,” Dr Sadhegi remarked.
Accomplished ophthalmologists in their own right, Dr. Sadeghi and Dr. Moghaddam are attached to the Bina Eye Hospital, a new offshoot of Bina Hospital, a well-known healthcare research facility in Tehran.
“Now that we have familiarised ourselves with the technology of the ‘Schwind Amaris’ under Dr. Maria’s expert guidance, we are eager to put our own ‘Schwind Amaris’ to successful use once we get back home to Iran. We hope to perform our very surgical operation involving the use of this laser in about two weeks,” Dr Moghaddam added.
The visit by the Iranian team comes close on the heels of a similar visit to Muscat by a French-based ophthalmologist about a fortnight ago. During his weeklong stay, Dr. Patrick Humbert, a specialist in laser refractive surgery, observed Dr. Maria conducting complex Femto-LASIK and keratoconus surgeries at Muscat Eye Laser Center.
