FAQs
What is UltraLASIK?
UltraLASIK is an advanced vision correction procedure that utilizes the latest laser technology to reshape the cornea with greater precision. Unlike traditional LASIK, which uses a microkeratome blade to create a corneal flap, UltraLASIK employs a femtosecond laser for this step, reducing risks and enhancing accuracy.
How does UltraLASIK differ from regular LASIK?
The key difference lies in the technology used for creating the corneal flap. UltraLASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create a more precise and thinner flap compared to the microkeratome blade used in traditional LASIK. This results in a faster recovery time, reduced risk of complications, and enhanced visual outcomes.
Why are there so many different LASIK procedures like SMILE Pro, SMILE Clear, and UltraLASIK?
The variety of LASIK procedures exists to address the unique needs of different patients. Each procedure offers distinct advantages based on factors such as corneal thickness, the type and severity of vision problems, and patient lifestyle.
Our doctors at Royal Spanish Center Abu Dhabi recommend the most suitable procedure based on a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s eye health and vision goals.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered Clearly and Simply
How long does a qualification examination take?
Our complete examination take around two hours. It is a series of specialized tests by which we determine your prescription, the thickness of the cornea, etc. Based on this examination your doctor will suggest the best method of correction. Since the examination may involve the application of pupil-dilating eye drops, you are advised not to drive a vehicle and have someone accompany you to drive you home.
Can I drive after the procedure?
You want to refrain from driving until your doctor tells you your vision is stable and it is safe to do so.
Why should I stop using lenses before my eye exam?
If you are wearing lenses, the measurements can be misleading. Contact lenses can alter the condition and shape of your cornea. It is advisable to stop using lenses at least 2 weeks before your exam.
What is the maximum age limit for laser vision correction procedures?
There is no such limit. It is agreed that a patient should be in generally good health (e.g. no diabetes, allergies, etc.) After your consultation, your doctor will advise you on possible treatments based on your situation.
