About UsYour Trusted Partner in Eye Health
At Dr. Pourhabibi's Eye Clinic, we believe that clear and healthy vision is not only a valuable gift but also has a profound impact on the quality of life. Our experienced and specialized team, with over a decade of expertise in treating vision disorders and age-related vision decline (presbyopia), is dedicated to providing the best care and services. We take pride in our innovative eye surgery techniques, particularly laser surgeries, focusing on correcting myopia, hyperopia, corneal irregularities, and presbyopia. At our clinic, every patient receives meticulous and personalized care to ensure a unique and exceptional experience in eye care.
Attend The Consultation
Upon arrival at the clinic, you'll be asked to complete your health and lifestyle questionnaire. Your consultation will determine your suitability for treatment and it will also provide you with all the information you'll need to be able to make an informed choice about eye surgery. Your specialist optometrist can now review the information provided in your questionnaire. You'll discuss with them, in more detail, your reasons for considering eye surgery, your goals and the information that you've previously provided.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
A series of tests and examinations will determine your eye health, your natural vision and the current prescription in each eye. Your optometrist will place drops in your eyes to dilate your pupils, allowing a thorough examination of your eyelids, cornea, pupil, lens and retina. You may notice your vision becomes a little blurred and more sensitive to light, but this is nothing to worry about - it'll return to normal in a matter of hours. Your optometrist will determine your suitability for surgery on a preliminary basis, pending confirmation from your ophthalmic surgeon. The final decision will always rest with your ophthalmic surgeon, but if you're not considered suitable for surgery, we can offer a number of other solutions. If you are suitable on a preliminary basis, we'll recommend the most effective and appropriate treatment for you.
The Day of Your Treatment
Your surgical care team will do everything they can to help you feel at ease and you can rest assured that they'll also address any concerns you may have. Prior to the surgery taking place, they'll take you through each step of the procedure, so you know exactly what to expect. With lens surgery, your eyes can either be treated on separate days or both on the same day. You'll meet with your personal anesthetist and they'll ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. Although you'll be awake throughout, you won't experience any pain during the treatment. With laser eye surgery, your eyes will generally be treated on the same day. Each eye is operated on individually, with the surgery taking around ten minutes to perform.
Follow-Up & Recovery Period
After your treatment, your surgeon will assess the immediate results. A member of the surgical care team will then take you to a private lounge area to relax. You'll be provided with aftercare instructions and eye drops and you'll also be told what to expect during the initial stages of recovery. Your next day aftercare appointment will be scheduled and you'll be free to leave at your leisure. We'll continue to look after your eye health well into the future and because we understand that every patient is an individual, your aftercare will be tailored to your own unique requirements. Following your next day aftercare appointment, you'll attend further appointments, until both you and the care team are happy to discharge you from our care. This happens to the majority of our patients between three and 12 months after surgery.
