Researching LASIK (October 2010)

Memories of the bad set of prescription glasses caused a strong wind to blow in the depths of my mind, removing all the dust from the idea of LASIK eye surgery. Before I knew it, the dust has all disappeared over the past couple of months and my brain brought the idea up again. Perhaps I should pull the trigger and just go for it. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen? Ehm…well there were some very bad things but what are the chances? I had a conversation with my brother and he convinced me to just take a single step, that is, see if I am a good candidate or not. After all if I am not then a decision is made. If I am a good candidate then I can make a choice. I decided that it was better to know than not know at all and started researching places in the UAE on where to do LASIK.

I ask my friend who worked in hospital for more than 4 years and he came up with recommendations. I researched different LASIK machines and came with the conclusion that the VISX Star 4 (something like that) was the best one. After further research I decided on going with Moorfields Eye Hospital in Dubai located in Dubai Healthcare City. After all, they have been in the UK for more than 200 years, the doctors were really credible and they were on the higher end in terms of price (which makes me feel like I am paying for quality).

I call them and book an appointment for the 13th of November. I just couldn’t wait for that day to come.
