I had bilateral Lasik at the MDA clinic a couple of days ago. Prior to the operation my prescription was –2.00 in both eyes.

I chose Dr Khatib because I knew that he used to work at a local hospital as a consultant eye surgeon and that other medical staff had chosen him to perform Lasik on them.

During the operation Dr Khatib was very professional, explaining each step during the process and giving lots of reassurance. Contrary to my preconceptions, the overall procedure is not one simple automated process, and it clearly requires someone with considerable expertise (e.g. in cleaning the eye and replacing the flap). Nevertheless, the procedure was very straightforward and painless.

For the following four hours I kept my eyes closed 99% of the time (as recommended), following which I had excellent vision. At my check-up 24 hours later, one eye was +0.25 and the other was spot on at 0.00, with no side-effects or complications.

I was very impressed by the personal care at Dr Khatib’s clinic, which I felt was probably more individual than at some of the ‘chain store’ alternatives.
