1. For Informational Purposes Only

Your vision and eye health are incredibly important to us. All the content provided on drnaeem.pk—including our text guides, surgical graphics, video testimonials, procedure descriptions, and blog posts—is designed to help you understand your options and is for general informational and educational purposes only.

While we strive to provide the most medically accurate and up-to-date information regarding advanced treatments like SMILE Pro, Femto LASIK, Cataract Phacoemulsification, and Retinal surgeries, please remember that this website is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or a personalized treatment plan from an eye doctor.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Accessing this website, reading its content, or contacting us through web forms, email, or WhatsApp does not create a formal doctor-patient relationship between you and Prof. Dr. Naeem Khattak or any staff member at DR NAEEM Eye Laser & Retina Center.

A legally recognized doctor-patient relationship is only established after you have physically visited our clinic, registered at the reception desk, and undergone an official, in-person clinical examination by our medical professionals.

3. Never Delay Seeking Professional Care

You should never disregard professional medical advice, delay in seeking it, or alter your current treatment plan based on something you have read on this website.

If you are experiencing acute eye pain, sudden vision loss, flashes of light, a curtain over your vision, or any other severe ocular symptom, do not rely on this website for guidance. These may be signs of a medical emergency (such as a retinal detachment or acute glaucoma). Please go immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room or contact an ophthalmologist directly by phone.

4. Variations in Surgical Outcomes

The human eye is an incredibly complex organ, and every patient's anatomy, healing response, and medical history is unique. Consequently:

• No Guarantees: We do not—and cannot—guarantee any specific surgical outcome, visual acuity result (e.g., 6/6 or 20/20 vision), or the complete elimination of the need for glasses or contact lenses for every patient.
• Inherent Risks: All surgical and laser procedures, including SMILE Pro and Cataract surgery, carry inherent medical risks. Potential complications, recovery times, and side effects vary from person to person.
• Individual Assessment: Eligibility for any refractive or surgical procedure can only be determined after comprehensive diagnostic testing (such as Pentacam Corneal Mapping and OCT Imaging) conducted at our clinic.

5. FDA/CE Approvals and Off-Label Use

Our clinic utilizes advanced, FDA-approved and CE-marked medical devices, such as the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 and Oertli FAROS systems. However, medical professionals may sometimes use approved devices for "off-label" indications if, in their expert clinical judgment, it is in the best interest of the patient. Any such decisions will be thoroughly discussed with the patient prior to surgery, ensuring informed consent is obtained.
