LASIK & Femto-LASIK
The all-laser gold standard for clear, glasses-free vision.
LASIK reshapes the cornea so that light focuses precisely on the retina, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. In Femto-LASIK, the protective corneal flap is created entirely by a femtosecond laser — no blade — for a gentle, highly precise, all-laser procedure.
The treatment itself takes only about 10–15 minutes per eye. Numbing drops keep you comfortable and awake throughout, and most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within hours, returning to everyday activities the next day.
Who it’s ideal for
- Adults with a stable prescription for at least a year
- Nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism within treatable range
- Healthy corneas of sufficient thickness
- Anyone seeking a fast recovery and freedom from glasses or contacts
Candidacy and the right option for you can only be confirmed by a full clinical exam with Dr. Mahmoud Said. This page is general information, not medical advice.
