Muscat Eye Laser Center’s reputation as one of the Sultanate’s leading eye care facility extends beyond the country’s borders, as is evident from the recent case of a Swedish national who travelled all the way from her native Stockholm to avail herself of the Center’s specialist corrective services.
Lotta Anderson underwent Z-Lasik treatment at the Center’s state-of-the-art clinic at Qurum during a recent visit to the Sultanate that proved in every sense an ‘eye-opener’.
Not only was the treatment painless and hassle-free, but she also discovered to her pleasant delight that the overall tab — inclusive of airfare, hotel stay, and a splendid holiday to boot — was eminently affordable.
Explaining the rationale behind her decision to choose Oman over Sweden for her surgery, Lotta said: “I had been eager to do this treatment for a long time, but kept putting it off.
Of course, there are lots of places elsewhere around Europe that offer good alternatives. But eventually I opted for Oman, and Muscat Eye Laser Center in particular, after hearing a lot about this place from a friend who had been here a couple of years ago.
I felt not only assured about Muscat as a destination, but also about the professionalism of the doctors at the Center. Besides, the economics of the trip and treatment costs made good sense as well.”
At first, Lotta went online to familiarise herself with the Center’s market-leading eye-care services in the Sultanate. This was followed by an exchange of e-mails with a specialist who apprised her of the Center’s expertise in, among other areas, Z-Lasik surgery and its sophisticated treatment facilities in Muscat.
Flying into Muscat earlier this month, Lotta was struck by the Sultanate’s distinctive Arabian appeal in sharp contrast with that of her native Sweden. “Oman was a novel experience for me, completely different from home.
But staff at the Center took very good care of me. I was surprised to discover that the surgery was smooth and painless. My vision is perfect now! When I woke up at night for the first time after the surgery, I was simply delighted to find that I could see without my glasses on. I wish I could have undergone this corrective treatment a long time ago.”
The Swede has warm praise for Dr Maria Clara Arbelaez, who heads an international team of eye specialists at Muscat Eye Laser Center. “I have only good things to say about Dr Maria and the Center. I was in good hands throughout my treatment. My hope is to persuade other people with similar eye problems not to be apprehensive about surgery, but to go ahead and just do it.”
