SMILE Clear
SMILE Clear (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is an innovative laser eye surgery that offers a minimally invasive solution for vision correction. It uses a femtosecond laser to create a small, disc-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea. This tissue is then removed through a tiny incision, reshaping the cornea and correcting vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism.

UltraLASIK (iDesign)
At Spanish Center Dubai, we understand that vision correction is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Different procedures cater to diverse vision problems and individual needs. This is why we proudly offer UltraLASIK – the epitome of precision, comfort, and efficiency in the world of vision correction, tailored to suit each patient’s unique requirements as recommended by our esteemed Doctors
FAQs
UltraLASIK is an advanced vision correction procedure that utilizes the latest laser technology to reshape the cornea with greater precision. Unlike traditional LASIK, which uses a microkeratome blade to create a corneal flap, UltraLASIK employs a femtosecond laser for this step, reducing risks and enhancing accuracy.
The key difference lies in the technology used for creating the corneal flap. UltraLASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create a more precise and thinner flap compared to the microkeratome blade used in traditional LASIK. This results in a faster recovery time, reduced risk of complications, and enhanced visual outcomes.
Most patients experience a quicker recovery with SMILE Pro as compared to traditional LASIK. However, the exact time may vary from one individual to another.
The variety of LASIK procedures exists to address the unique needs of different patients. Each procedure offers distinct advantages based on factors such as corneal thickness, the type and severity of vision problems, and patient lifestyle.
Our Doctors at Spanish Center Dubai recommend the most suitable procedure based on a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s eye health and vision goals.
FemtoLASIK (Contoura)
FemtoLASIK (Contoura) Vision is the latest advancement in laser eye surgery, offering topography-guided LASIK. This technology provides personalized treatments by mapping 22,000 unique elevation points on the cornea, correcting irregularities with high precision. Contoura Vision is designed to enhance visual clarity and sharpness, making it an excellent option for patients with complex refractive errors.
FAQs
Recovery from FemtoLASIK is generally quick, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in vision within 24 hours. Full recovery, including stabilization of vision, typically occurs within a few weeks.
Ideal candidates for FemtoLASIK are adults with stable vision prescriptions who have healthy corneas. A thorough pre-operative examination is required to determine eligibility.

IntraLASIK (IntraLase FS)
IntraLASIK HD, also known as Custom LASIK, utilizes advanced wave-front technology to correct both lower and higher order aberrations. Lower order aberrations include common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Higher order aberrations refer to more complex optical imperfections that affect night vision, causing issues like glare, halos, and shadows. By addressing both types of aberrations, IntraLASIK HD aims to restore optimal vision.
The procedure involves using a computerized wave-front measuring instrument that creates a detailed map of the eye’s visual distortions. This map guides the laser in reshaping the cornea with high precision, tailored to the individual characteristics of each eye. This makes IntraLASIK HD particularly suitable for patients with mild to moderately high levels of visual defects, including astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia.
FAQs
IntraLASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap instead of a microkeratome blade, providing greater precision and safety. This method reduces the risk of complications associated with blade use, such as irregular flaps.
Recovery from IntraLASIK is typically quick. Most patients notice an improvement in vision within 24 hours, with full stabilization of vision usually occurring within a few weeks.
Ideal candidates for IntraLASIK are adults with stable vision prescriptions and healthy corneas. Those with thinner corneas, who may not be suitable for traditional LASIK, might still be eligible for IntraLASIK due to the precision of the femtosecond laser.
LASIK/PRK (Cooper Vision)
LASIK and PRK are advanced laser eye surgeries that correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK involves creating a corneal flap and reshaping the underlying tissue with an excimer laser, offering quick recovery and significant vision improvement within 24 hours. PRK, suitable for patients with thinner corneas, removes the outer corneal layer and reshapes the tissue without creating a flap, resulting in a longer recovery period but similar visual outcomes. Both procedures provide effective vision correction, with LASIK favored for its faster healing and PRK beneficial for specific corneal conditions
FAQs
LASIK involves creating a corneal flap and has a quicker recovery time, while PRK removes the outer corneal layer without creating a flap, resulting in a slower recovery. Both procedures ultimately provide similar visual outcomes
PRK is often recommended for patients with thinner corneas or those who have had previous eye surgeries. It’s also suitable for individuals with active lifestyles or occupations that might risk flap displacement
Recovery from PRK can take several days to weeks. Initial haziness and discomfort are common as the epithelial cells regenerate. Vision gradually improves, with final results comparable to LASIK
