How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this country 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.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5

  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours6

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need an eye doctor?

An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats eye disease, corrects vision and operates on the eye, including the retina and cornea. Common reasons to book include:

  • a full eye examination
  • dry-eye treatment
  • cataract assessment and surgery
  • eye-pressure checks for glaucoma
  • retinal screening for people with diabetes
  • prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses

Signs it is worth booking a visit

  • Vision that is slowly getting blurrier, or glasses that no longer seem right.
  • Recurring headaches with eye strain, especially after reading or screen work.
  • New floaters (spots or threads drifting across your vision). A few long-standing floaters are common, but new ones should be checked promptly.
  • Red, gritty or irritated eyes that do not settle.
  • Diabetes, even if your sight seems fine. Diabetic eye disease can cause no symptoms in its early stages, so regular retinal checks matter.
  • A family history of glaucoma. Glaucoma is often silent until vision is already affected, which is why pressure checks are recommended for people at higher risk.
  • In children: a squint, frequent eye rubbing, tilting the head, or sitting very close to screens or books.
  • A drooping eyelid or an eye that waters constantly.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if you have any of the following:

  • Sudden loss or dimming of vision in one or both eyes.
  • A sudden shower of new floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow or curtain moving across your vision.
  • Severe eye pain with redness, especially with headache, nausea, vomiting or halos around lights.
  • A chemical splash in the eye. Rinse the eye continuously with clean water while help is arranged.
  • An injury from a sharp object or a flying fragment. Do not rub or press the eye, and do not try to remove anything stuck in it.
  • Sudden double vision together with facial drooping, slurred speech or weakness on one side, which can be signs of a stroke.

How to choose among the doctors here

People looking for the best eye doctors in Jordan usually do best by matching the doctor to the problem rather than by looking at rank alone. The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality.

Match the published subspecialty to your concern

  • Glaucoma or raised eye pressure: Dr. Abu Al Ghanam and Dr. Al Tamimi both list glaucoma treatment and surgery.
  • Retinal disease and eye injections: Dr. Harara lists vitreoretinal surgery and intravitreal injections.
  • Children and squint: Dr. Nofal, Dr. Hawari, Dr. Al Jbour and Dr. Al Rawashdeh list paediatric care and strabismus. Dr. Jeris lists children's eye examinations.
  • Eyelids, ptosis and tear ducts: Dr. Naser, Dr. Nofal and Dr. Al Jbour list oculoplastic services.
  • Keratoconus, cornea and vision correction: Dr. Sharif lists cross-linking, keratoplasty and LASIK. Cross-linking also appears on the profiles of Dr. Hawari and Dr. Harara.
  • Routine checks and long-term follow-up: Dr. Jeris lists follow-up for diabetic retinal disease, glaucoma and keratoconus. Dr. Al Tamimi lists diabetic eye screening and dry-eye treatment.

Practical points

  • Hours: Most centres here open Saturday to Thursday, with shorter Thursday hours at some. Sharif Eye Center lists hours until 22:00, which can help if you work during the day.
  • Location: Seven of the doctors work at the same centre. This can be convenient if you need care from more than one subspecialty.
  • Planned surgery: For elective procedures such as LASIK, cataract or eyelid surgery, ask whether you are a suitable candidate, what the alternatives are and what risks apply to you. Suitability for laser vision correction depends on factors such as corneal shape and thickness and how stable your prescription is. A second opinion before planned surgery is a reasonable step.

What to expect at the first visit

A typical eye consultation can include:

  • a vision chart test
  • a refraction test to check your prescription
  • an examination of the front of the eye with a slit lamp
  • an eye-pressure measurement
  • in many cases, a look at the retina

The doctor may use dilating drops. These blur your vision and make you sensitive to light for several hours, so do not drive yourself home. Bring sunglasses, and ideally someone to accompany you.

What to bring

  • Your current glasses, and your contact lenses with their case.
  • A list of all medicines, including eye drops and any supplements.
  • Previous eye reports, scan results or surgery records.
  • For diabetes, your recent blood-sugar records or test results if you have them.
  • Your ID and insurance card.
  • For a child, their glasses, health record, and any notes from school about reading or seeing the board.

If you wear contact lenses and are booked for a vision-correction assessment, ask the clinic in advance whether you should stop wearing them for a period beforehand.

Questions worth asking

  • What is causing my symptoms, and how sure are you?
  • What are my options, including monitoring without treatment?
  • What are the risks and the expected recovery for each option?
  • How often will I need follow-up?
  • Which tests are needed today, and why?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

This page shows a consultation fee only where a profile publishes one, so ask the clinic directly before you go. Useful questions include:

  • What is the consultation fee, and are tests and scans charged separately?
  • Does my insurance cover this doctor at this centre, and does it need prior approval for surgery or injections?
  • Will the clinic handle the insurance paperwork, or do I pay first and claim later?

Three profiles list insurers. Dr. Nofal, Dr. Abu Al Ghanam and Dr. Jeris list Arab Orient Insurance. Dr. Jeris also lists United Insurance — NatHealth and The Islamic Insurance Company. Insurer lists can change, so confirm cover with your insurer as well as the clinic.

Centre opening hours are not always the same as an individual doctor's sessions. Several profiles note that appointments are arranged after the clinic confirms the doctor's availability. Ask for a specific day and time with the doctor you chose.

Getting there

This is a Kingdom-wide list for Jordan, and each profile shows its own city and district, plus a map location where one is published. Before your visit:

  • Check the travel time. Leave extra time for traffic and parking, especially at busy hours.
  • Arrange transport. If your eyes may be dilated, plan a lift or a taxi home. If you are booked for surgery, arrange for someone to take you home and stay with you as advised.
  • Ask about access. If you use a wheelchair or have difficulty with stairs, ask about lifts, ramps and drop-off points.

Checklist before you book

  • Match your concern to a doctor's published subspecialty and services.
  • Note any urgent warning signs. If present, call 911 rather than waiting for an appointment.
  • Confirm the doctor's session day and time, not just the centre's opening hours.
  • Ask about the consultation fee and any separate charges for tests.
  • Check insurance cover and whether prior approval is needed.
  • Gather your glasses, lenses, medicines list and previous reports.
  • Arrange transport in case of dilating drops.
  • For planned surgery, ask about suitability, alternatives, risks and follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of eye doctors chosen?
The ten profiles come from 76 eye-care profiles on ClinicsJo. They are ordered by a 100-point score that measures how complete and checkable each profile is. The score counts items such as qualifications, biography, services, insurers, opening hours, reviews and verification. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so use it as a starting point for comparison.
Which doctors on this list focus on glaucoma?
Dr. Salem Ahmad Abu Al Ghanam lists glaucoma as his subspecialty. His services include laser treatment, Ahmed valve implantation and glaucoma surgery. Dr. Yazan Abdulkarim Shabaneh Al Tamimi lists glaucoma and cataract, with fellowship training in glaucoma surgery at King's College Hospital. Dr. Issa Jeris lists glaucoma follow-up. Glaucoma often causes no early symptoms, so ask the doctor how often you should have pressure checks.
How often should people with diabetes have their eyes checked?
Many international guidelines recommend retinal screening at least once a year for people with diabetes. Your doctor may advise a different interval depending on your results. Diabetic eye disease can develop without symptoms, so do not wait for blurred vision. On this list, Dr. Al Tamimi lists diabetic eye screening and Dr. Jeris lists diabetic retinal disease follow-up.
Is there an eye doctor here who sees children?
Several profiles list children's eye care. Dr. Maher Nabih Nofal and Dr. Mohammad Akram Hawari list paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus as subspecialties. Dr. Mais Khaled Al Jbour and Dr. Saif Al Rawashdeh list treatment of children's vision problems and strabismus surgery. Dr. Issa Jeris lists children's eye examinations. See a doctor if you notice a squint, head tilting, frequent eye rubbing or difficulty seeing at school.
Which doctors list keratoconus treatment or LASIK?
Dr. Khaled Sharif lists keratoconus treatment with cross-linking, corneal topography, keratoplasty and LASIK. Dr. Muataz Mohammad Harara and Dr. Mohammad Akram Hawari list corneal cross-linking. Dr. Saif Al Rawashdeh lists laser and LASIK vision correction. Dr. Issa Jeris lists keratoconus follow-up. Whether laser correction suits you depends on a detailed eye assessment, so ask about alternatives and risks.
What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optician?
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat eye disease, prescribe medicines and perform eye surgery. An optician fits and supplies glasses and contact lenses, and some opticians also carry out basic sight tests. For symptoms such as pain, sudden changes in vision, new floaters or a known condition like glaucoma, see an ophthalmologist. All doctors on this page are ophthalmologists.
When is an eye problem an emergency in Jordan?
Call 911 or go to an emergency department for sudden vision loss, or a sudden shower of floaters, flashes or a shadow across your vision. Also go urgently for severe eye pain with redness, headache or nausea, a chemical splash, or a penetrating injury. Sudden double vision with facial drooping or weakness can signal a stroke and needs emergency care. For a chemical splash, rinse the eye with clean water while help is arranged.
