THE PROBLEM
Condition
Smeet, visiting from Canada, had been dealing with problems related to his eyes and his glasses for a long time. As he put it, he had “wanted to get rid of that for the longest time.” The day-to-day reliance on glasses had become a source of ongoing frustration he was looking to resolve.
How He Found Kenia Eye Hospital
Smeet learned about Kenia Eye Hospital through its Google reviews, which he described as glowing. That reputation was enough to bring him in for a consultation while he was in Mumbai.
CONSULTATION & TREATMENT PLAN
What Happened During the Consultation
On his first visit, Smeet found the staff friendly and professional. The team carried out a series of tests on his eyes to assess his suitability for laser vision correction. Based on the results, he and the clinical team decided together to proceed with CLEAR (flapless) LASIK.
Why CLEAR Was Chosen
- The tests supported CLEAR as the right fit for his eyes
- As a patient visiting from abroad, a procedure with a fast, predictable recovery suited his travel schedule
- The flapless technique, performed on the FEMTO Z8 NEO robotic femtosecond laser, allowed precise correction in a single sitting

PATIENT FEEDBACK
“Hi, my name is Smeet. I came from Canada. I came to know about Kenia Eye Hospital through Google Reviews, and they have had glowing Google Reviews. I've had a lot of problems with my eyes, especially my glasses, and I wanted to get rid of that for the longest time. When I came here, the staff was very friendly and professional. They carried out a couple of tests for me, and we opted for the clear LASIK treatment. My treatment was done, and then I've gone back home, and the treatment and the follow-up was all great. And today my vision is much better than when I had glasses, so I'm very happy with the overall process. So, thank you.”
