National sports hero opts for Z-LASIK surgery at Muscat Eye Laser Center

Oman’s top racing driver, Ahmad al Harthy, recently turned to the Sultanate’s leading eye-care clinic, the Muscat Eye Laser Center, for a surgical procedure designed in no small measure to keep him at the top of his game on the racing circuit.

The international sports star, whose amazing feats continue to inspire a generation of young Omani sportsmen and women, chose Muscat Eye Laser Centre’s revolutionary Z-Lasik procedure to enhance his vision to the razor sharp levels deemed critical for success on the racetrack.

In a sport that demands the ultimate in skill, perfect eyesight is as much a requisite for success as endurance, concentration and speed – an imperative that prompted the iconic sportsman to consider corrective vision at Oman’s most prestigious surgical eye-care services provider.

Z-Lasik, widely popularised by Muscat Eye Laser Center in Oman, is a safe, painless but sophisticated procedure that delivers amazing results without any of the complications typically associated with conventional eye surgeries.

Hailed as the most advanced innovation in bladeless surgery, the procedure involves the use of a high-frequency laser to correct a variety of refractive eye problems, including Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism and Presbyopia among other eye diseases. After thorough investigation the patient is carefully chosen for the surgery which usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. Besides, the risk of complication is greatly reduced as compared to previous techniques, while the quality of post-operative vision is better than with any other method.

For professionals like Ahmad, who lay great store by quality and excellence, Muscat Eye Laser Center has been the clinic of choice for their corrective procedure conducted by the Center’s Medical Director, Dr. Maria Clara Arbelaez, who has performed more than 60,000 successful eye surgeries. “Muscat Eye Laser was the natural choice for me because of their class-leading reputation, professional competence, unrivalled facilities and superior standards,” stated Ahmed Al Harthy.

Staffed by a team of top-flight corrective vision practitioners and equipped with state-of-the-art clinical facilities, the Center’s surgical eye-care services are truly world-class as attested by the conferment last year of the globally recognized ISO 9001:2008 certification.

Given the close alignments of their respective visions for excellence, Muscat Eye Laser Center recently announced its sponsorship support for Ahmad as he embarks on a third successive season of participation in the world renowned Porsche Carrera Cup GB Championship. As Commercial Partner, the Center will extend its backing to Oman’s champion racer as he returns to compete in the Pro-Am 1 Class of the UK’s premier one-make sports car championship this year.

Mr Sameer Al Awam, CEO of Muscat Eye Laser Center commented: “We are honoured not only by Ahmad’s decision to undergo Z-Lasik surgery at our clinic, but also by the opportunity to be part of his quest for fame at the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. We look forward to an exciting partnership as we bid our national sports hero every success in this prestigious championship.”
