“Dr. Shaarawy reviewed my topography over WhatsApp before I flew in. He told me upfront that LASIK wasn't safe for my cornea and recommended ICL instead. The honesty before the surgery is what made me trust the surgery itself.”

“Vision in my right eye was getting worse every year. After DMEK with Dr. Shaarawy I see better than I have in a decade. The pre-op explanation was the most thorough I've ever experienced — including in two consults in Riyadh.”

“Two surgeons in Lagos told me my cornea was too thin for LASIK. Dr. Shaarawy ran the topography, agreed traditional LASIK was risky, and offered Custom PRK instead. Same result, no flap risk. Couldn't be happier.”

“Quoted €18,000 in Munich. Got the same procedure (Smart Splash DALK) for €3,500 in Cairo — and Dr. Shaarawy is the surgeon who developed the technique. The travel was easy. The result is as good as anyone in Europe could give me.”

“Saw Dr. Shaarawy at the Erbil clinic. He did the rings and cross-linking the next day — both eyes in a single session. Six months in and my keratoconus has stopped progressing. Vision corrected with glasses now, no contacts needed.”

“Went for the price, stayed for the care. Dr. Shaarawy spent 90 minutes on the pre-op consultation explaining every IOL option. Surgery was 18 minutes. I see clearly at all distances now and don't need glasses anymore.”
