Based on these old forum posts I decided to have my intra-lasik done at the Atlanta Vision Clinic with Dr. Ashraf last October and I can only say that I had a great experience throughout, from preliminary exams through to the actual procedure then follow ups. The team over there is extremely professional, welcoming and answered all my questions. My case was not the easiest with high myopia and astigmatism on both eyes from a very young age (the surgery cost me AED 14k) so I was really on the lookout for the best practitioner and medical environment for this life-changing surgery. I am happy I found a clinic where I didn’t feel the commercial pushy behavior I noticed when visiting other clinics. Dr. Ashraf was friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure.
Doing intra-lasik completely changed my life. The procedure itself is not painful. It is only once the anaesthetic drop effect fades out few hours after the surgery that the worst part starts as there is a burning and itching sensation (the clinic gave me a plastic mask to prevent me from rubbing my eyes). I pushed myself to relax and I fell asleep quickly. The next morning, I was slightly worried to open my eyes as I wondered if it would still be burning but the uncomfortable sensation had completely stopped and I was finally able to see! I had to attend my follow up appointment and I was even able to drive myself there (nothing short of a miracle after 15 years of wearing lenses!) without being worried of not seeing the road clearly. I was completely amazed that I could drive and read the sign boards on SZR lol
