Vision



Better Vision for Better life!

LASIK operation is a way to treat visual impairment or cases of Cornea injuries, and the Surface of the cornea can be treated accurately.

The way of LASIK treatment depend on the latest medical research and technological development in our time and it is the fastest way and more safe between the other techniques.

Can we say bye to glasses!?Research has shown that the success rate of this operation ranges between 90-95%, so the LASIK is an alternative to glasses in cases of Vision defects.
However, it should make it clear here that this type of operation is not a substitute for using reading glasses.

I interviewed Dr. Hassen Al Katheeri About the procedures that should be made before the operation and he said that a person mustn't wear contact lenses for at least two weeks before the date of operation. Women mustn't use eyeliner and make-up before the operation. A person should eat a mild food before the operation and make a thorough examination for the eye before and after the operation.

However, Dr. Al Katheeri added that some measures should be taken before doing the operation such as measure of eye pressure, measure of the cornea thickness, measure of color vision, measure of cornea curvature, examine the front and the bottom of the eye.

The results of the examination show if it was appropriate to do the operation or not.

Free time

Free Time in Thought of Teenagers


I noticed recently there is a lot of free time among the youth in our community and other communities, especially among adolescents.
All the time became a free time, which could lead to the direction of sins and commit crimes.

Through my studies I wanted to gather information on this phenomenon and recognize the concept of free time and disadvantages and proposed solutions to fill this time.
And also try to educate my friends in this community in order to be effective and useful elements for the future.

The interview I did it with grade 11 (class mates)
I asked them some important questions about this phenomenon (free time) I asked them: In your opinion What is the definition of free time? Do you think that free time gives the impression positively or negatively, and why?Give some activitiesl to fill your free time?

Almost  all interviewees agreed that free time is the time to do hobbies and to develop our skills.
One of the onterviewees believe that free time can be positive if it is used to practice a healthy hobby or develop a skill. On the other hand it can be a negative if it is used to do something harmful to others. Another student thinks that it is negative if time is wasted in doing silly stuff.
Activities suggested from the interviewees are

Reading the Quran ,tighting the ties of kinship, reading books or magazines, volunteery work ,hobbies,sports,watching TV and travel.
Filling the free time starts from  inside and not from outside in the sense that begins with the discovery of yourself and what tends to their development and evolution.
Does it tend to read or for sport or art??there are many ways to gain knowledge and developp different skills.
