Social responsibility has always been a corner stone of Magrabi’s mission. We owe it to our communities especially with the current pandemic. With the government hospitals prioritizing Covid-19 patients and emergency surgical cases, many elective ophthalmology procedures were postponed. Magrabi volunteered to participate in reducing these ophthalmology surgical waiting lists of the ministry of health…

Diabetes is defined as a chronic disease that causes abnormally high blood sugar levels, due to the body’s inability to convert glucose into energy, as a result of a defect in carbohydrate metabolism due to poor pancreatic secretion of insulin or resistance of body cells to insulin, which leads to high sugar in the blood.…

During middle age, usually beginning in the 40s, people experience blurred vision at near points, such as when reading, sewing or working at the computer. There’s no getting around it; this happens to everyone at some point in life, even those who have never had a vision problem before. Presbyopia Symptoms and Signs…

This new technology is used to correct vision errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The SCHWIND AMARIS laser system provides a sophisticated approach to carry out no-touch, all-laser surface ablations in a single step. Precise ablation with the laser With the TransPRK (transepithelial PRK), the epithelium is ablated by SCHWIND AMARIS laser systems. This…

Femtosmile is the latest technology in vision correction to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The procedure is totally ‘flap-less’, and involves a tiny incision being made in the cornea. The surgeon then removes a precise amount of tissue through this incision. Because there are no moving parts, the healing time for SMILE is even quicker…

Eye Structure The individual components of the eye work in a manner similar to a camera. Each part plays a vital role in providing clear vision. CORNEA – The transparent, outer “window” and primary focusing element of the eye. PUPIL – The dark opening in the center of the colored iris that controls how much…

Hyperopia or Farsightedness Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision problem, affecting about a fourth of the population. People with Hyperopia can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty seeing objects that are up close. Hyperopia Symptoms and Signs Farsighted people sometimes have headaches or eyestrain, and may squint or feel fatigued when performing…

Myopia or Nearsightedness Nearsightedness, or Myopia, is a vision problem experienced by up to about one-third of the population. Nearsighted people have difficulty reading highway signs and seeing other objects at a distance, but can see for up-close tasks such as reading or sewing. Myopia Symptoms and Signs Myopic people often have headaches or…

Astigmatism Normal Vision Astigmatic Vision Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. Astigmatism may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It’s caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. There are two kinds of Astigmatism, lenticular and corneal. Astigmatism occurs when the surface of the cornea or of the lens is not perfectly smooth. If, for example, there is…

Intacs is a recent and revolutionary corneal ring prescription insert that is entirely reversible. Thus, patients who elect to have Intacs are not “locked in” to the procedure forever, as are patients who undergo other refractive procedures such as LASIK and PRK. Vision correction with Intacs entails implanting the micro-thin intracorneal rings into the cornea…

Implantable contact lenses, known as phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) to ophthalmologists, are presently being investigated as another refractive procedure. Phakic IOLs hold promise as potentially a powerful refractive tool with almost unlimited potential to correct refractive errors (nearsightedness and farsightedness). At the present time, Phakic IOLs are expected to gain wide acceptance from ophthalmologists who…

One of the newest procedures in vision correction is Epithelial Keratomileusis (Epilasik). Epilasik is similar to LASIK, but the flap is created in using a different method by temporarily removing only the top layer of the cornea (epithelium). Approximately thirty-five percent less tissue is removed using Epilasik. Now, the patients who have thin corneas…
Read article LASEK (laser epithelial Keratomileusis) is a relatively new procedure that is technically a variation of PRK. It is also called epithelial LASIK or E-LASIK. LASEK is used mostly for people with corneas that are too thin or too flat for LASIK. It was developed to reduce the chance of complications that occur when the flap…

LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive surgery procedure. A wide range of myopia, Hyperopia, and astigmatism can be corrected by the LASIK procedure. It is a delicate surgical procedure that allows for a very predictable healing response. Why is it so popular? LASIK has advantages over other procedures, including a relative lack of pain…

Femtolasik The Femtolasik introduces femtosecond laser technology to ophthalmology. Femtolaser technology makes Lasik even safer and more accurate. It is used in a LASIK variation called Femtolasik to create the corneal flap under which cornea is reshaped to correct vision. In traditional Lasik, surgeons use a metal blade called a Microkeratome to create the flap. Although surgical complications during…
