refractive surgery/lasik, oculoplastic surgery
and paediatric ophthalmology.
CFS’ operating theatresareequippedwithstate-

to perform the necessary surgical procedures
in a safer and more controlled manner with
better outcomes. This equipment includes the
latest femtosecond laser vision correction
technology, ReLEx®Smile, a bladeless, flapless
