Ocean of knowledge #1 With so many of us using computers at work and school, computer eye strain has become a common complaint. These problems can cause physical fatigue, decreased productivity and increased numbers of work errors. Here are steps you can take to reduce computer eye strain and the other common symptoms of computer vision syndrome (CVS): Use proper lighting. Eye strain is often caused by excessively bright light either from outdoor sunlight coming in through a window or from harsh interior lighting. When you use a computer, your ambient lighting should be about half that found in most offices. Eliminate exterior light by closing drapes, shades or blinds. Reduce interior lighting by using fewer light bulbs or fluorescent tubes, or use lower intensity bulbs and tubes. If possible, position your monitor so that windows are to the side of it, instead of in front or back. Minimize glare. Glare on walls and finished surfaces, as well as reflections on the computer screen can a...

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 re...

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
