Conditions Dr. Hatem Samy Helps Assess and Treat

Dr. Hatem Samy helps assess and treat several conditions related to the cornea, vision correction, and cataract, and the doctor determines the appropriate plan after examination.

Vision Correction

This includes assessing suitability for LASIK, Femto-LASIK, Femto SMILE, and PRK. The procedure is not selected based only on the patient’s preference, but after examining corneal thickness, prescription level, prescription stability, and eye health.

Keratoconus

Corneal examination helps assess the degree of keratoconus and determine whether the case needs corneal cross-linking, ring implantation, follow-up with glasses or contact lenses, or another treatment option depending on the case.

Lens Implantation for Severe Vision Weakness

Lens implantation may be an option for some cases of severe vision weakness that are not suitable for LASIK or surface vision correction procedures, and the doctor determines suitability for the procedure after examination.

Full and Partial Corneal Transplantation

Some cases of corneal opacity or weakness require specialist assessment to determine whether full or partial corneal transplantation is suitable, depending on the condition of the cornea and the degree of vision impact.

Difficult Cataract

Dr. Hatem Samy helps assess cataract cases, including cases that may require phaco or femtosecond laser techniques, and the doctor determines the appropriate plan after examination.

Eye and Cornea Examination

Eye and cornea examination helps understand the cause of weak vision, blurred vision, difficulty with night vision, or unsuitability of the current glasses, especially before considering vision correction or any surgical procedure.

Medical note: The appropriate treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical assessment.
