How we chose this list
Every matching clinic profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

When do you need an eye doctor?
Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat eye disease, correct vision, and operate on structures such as the lens, cornea and retina. Common services include:
- comprehensive eye examinations
- dry-eye treatment
- cataract care
- eye-pressure checks for glaucoma
- retinal screening for people with diabetes
- prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses
Book a routine appointment if you notice any of the following:
- Vision is gradually becoming blurred, or you strain to read or drive at night.
- You get recurring headaches with eye strain, especially after screen work.
- Your eyes stay red, gritty or watery for more than a few days.
- A few new floaters appear and stay stable (a sudden shower of them is different; see below).
- You have diabetes. Mainstream guidance recommends regular retinal checks, usually yearly or as your doctor advises, even when vision feels normal.
- You are over 40, or a close relative has glaucoma. Glaucoma often causes no symptoms early on.
- A child squints, tilts their head, sits very close to screens, or one eye seems to turn.
Warning signs that need urgent care
Some eye problems can threaten sight within hours. Go to an emergency department, or call 911, if you have:
- sudden loss or dimming of vision in one or both eyes
- a sudden shower of floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow or curtain across your vision
- severe eye pain with redness, especially with headache, nausea, vomiting or halos around lights
- a chemical splash: rinse the eye with plenty of clean water straight away, then seek emergency care
- a blow to the eye or anything that has pierced it: do not rub or press on the eye
- sudden double vision, a drooping face, weakness or difficulty speaking, which may signal a stroke (call 911)
If you wear contact lenses and develop a painful red eye, remove the lenses and get seen the same day.
How to choose among the clinics here
The list is ordered by profile completeness, so treat it as a starting point rather than a ranking of care. These practical filters help:
- Match your problem to the published services.
- Retina and diabetic eye disease: Amman Eye Clinic, Sharif Eye Center and Jordan Eye Center list retinal treatments. Shami Eye Center and Dr Amer Hajjaj's clinic list diabetic eye screening.
- Keratoconus and corneal problems: Sharif Eye Center and Jordan Eye Center list cross-linking and corneal transplantation. Amman Eye Clinic and Dr Amer Hajjaj's clinic also list keratoconus care.
- Children and squint: Jordan Eye Center and Dr Amer Hajjaj's clinic list strabismus care. Amman Eye Clinic examines children and premature infants. Sharif and Shami describe paediatric units.
- Glaucoma: Shami Eye Center lists glaucoma treatment and surgery, and several others list eye-pressure care.
- Check that eye care is actually available. Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics and King Hussein Cancer Center list ophthalmology among many specialties. Ask which eye doctor attends before booking.
- Think about hours. Sharif Eye Center lists hours until 22:00, and OSara Clinics runs evening sessions. Amman Eye Clinic opens only three days a week, and Thursday hours are shorter at several centres.
- Single doctor or team. A one-doctor clinic offers continuity with the same person. Larger centres let you choose among several ophthalmologists and may have more units on site.
- Refractive surgery is not for everyone. LASIK, PRK and implantable lenses require suitability testing, and a good clinic will explain if another option, or no surgery, is better for your eyes.
If you are comparing the best eye clinics in Amman for a specific procedure, ask each centre which doctor handles that problem and what tests come first.
What to expect at the first visit
A first visit usually includes a vision test, a refraction check for glasses, eye-pressure measurement and an examination of the front and back of the eye. Depending on your symptoms, you may also have imaging such as OCT, corneal topography or a visual field test.
Your pupils may be dilated with drops. This can blur your vision and make you sensitive to light for several hours, so bring sunglasses, avoid driving afterwards, and consider bringing someone with you.
What to bring
- your current glasses, and contact lenses or their prescription
- a list of all medicines and eye drops you use
- diabetes or blood pressure records, if relevant
- previous eye reports, scans or surgery notes
- your ID and insurance card
If you wear contact lenses and are being assessed for vision correction, ask beforehand whether to stop wearing them for a period before the visit.
Questions worth asking
- What is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
- What are the options, including not treating for now?
- What are the risks, recovery time and follow-up schedule for any procedure?
- When should I return, and which symptoms mean I should come back sooner?
Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment
Of the clinics here, Sharif Eye Center and Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics list Arab Orient Insurance. For any clinic, call your insurer and the clinic to confirm cover before you go. Ask:
- Is the consultation covered, and what is the consultation fee if I pay myself?
- Are tests such as OCT, visual fields or corneal topography charged separately?
- Do injections, laser treatment or surgery need pre-approval from my insurer?
- Is vision correction surgery covered by my policy at all? Many policies treat it differently from medical treatment.
When booking, confirm the exact doctor and branch. City Eye Center works across several branches. Al Salem Eye Clinics has a shared reception, and the ophthalmologist at OSara attends by appointment.

Frequently asked questions
Are these the best eye clinics in Amman?
This list does not rate clinical quality. Out of 24 ophthalmology profiles on ClinicsJo for Amman, these 10 have the highest profile-completeness scores. The score covers verification, reviews, description, photos, services, linked doctors, insurers, opening hours, map location, years since establishment and an official website or account. Featured profiles may appear first, but featuring does not change a profile's score. Use the list to compare information, then choose based on your needs.
Which clinics on this list offer LASIK or laser vision correction?
Sharif Eye Center, Jordan Eye Center, Shami Eye Center, Dr Amer Hajjaj Ophthalmology Clinic and Amman Eye Clinic all list LASIK or laser vision correction. Dr Amer Hajjaj's clinic also lists PRK. Shami and Jordan Eye Center list implantable lenses too. Whether any of these options suits you depends on a full assessment of your corneas and prescription, so expect testing before any decision.
How often should people with diabetes have their eyes checked in Amman?
Mainstream guidance advises regular retinal screening for people with diabetes, commonly once a year, or more often if your doctor finds changes. Diabetic eye disease can progress without symptoms, so do not wait for blurred vision. Several clinics here list diabetic eye screening or retinopathy care. Bring your latest diabetes results to the appointment.
When is an eye problem an emergency?
Seek emergency care, or call 911 in Jordan, for any of these: sudden vision loss, or a sudden shower of floaters, flashes or a curtain-like shadow. Severe eye pain with redness, headache or nausea is also an emergency, as is a chemical splash (rinse with clean water first) or a penetrating injury. Sudden double vision with facial drooping, weakness or slurred speech also needs immediate help.
Which eye clinics in Amman are open in the evening?
Among the clinics listed, Sharif Eye Center in Jabal Amman lists hours until 22:00, Saturday to Thursday. OSara Clinics in Abu Nseir runs evening sessions from 16:30. Amman Eye Clinic also opens 16:00–18:00 on Monday and Wednesday. Hours can change, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
Do eye clinics in Amman accept insurance?
On this list, Sharif Eye Center and Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics list Arab Orient Insurance. For the other clinics, ask both the clinic and your insurer directly. Check whether consultations, diagnostic imaging, injections or surgery are covered and whether pre-approval is needed. Vision correction surgery is often handled differently from medical treatment under many policies.
Which clinics here see children for eye problems?
Jordan Eye Center and Dr Amer Hajjaj Ophthalmology Clinic list paediatric eye care and strabismus treatment. Dr Hajjaj's clinic also lists amblyopia (lazy eye) treatment. Amman Eye Clinic offers eye examinations for children and premature infants. Sharif Eye Center and Shami Eye Center describe paediatric ophthalmology units. Book a check if a child squints, has a turning eye or struggles to see clearly.
