Top 3 Eye Surgery Specialists in Irbid 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Eye surgery covers several different problems, so start with what you are trying to solve. People looking for eye surgery specialists in Irbid usually come for one of these reasons:

• Wanting to reduce dependence on glasses, which is typically assessed through LASIK and other vision correction consultations
• Cloudy vision from a cataract, where the natural lens clouds and may be replaced with an artificial lens
• Retinal conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, where injections or surgery may be considered
• Glaucoma, where raised pressure inside the eye can damage the optic nerve and surgery may be part of treatment
• Corneal problems, which affect the clear front surface of the eye

Book a visit when blurred vision does not improve with updated glasses, when you have diabetes and have not had an eye check in the past year, or when earlier eye treatment has left you with unanswered questions. Major health bodies such as the NHS recommend regular diabetic eye screening, so an annual check is a sensible habit for anyone living with diabetes.

A surgical consultation is the point where a specialist examines your eyes, explains what is causing your symptoms, and decides whether surgery is appropriate. Not everyone is suitable for every procedure, and outcomes depend on the individual eye, so treat any online information as preparation for that conversation rather than a decision.

Urgent warning signs

Do not wait for a routine appointment if you notice sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes, a shadow or curtain spreading across your view, a sudden shower of new floaters or flashing lights, severe eye pain with nausea or vomiting, or an eye injury or chemical splash. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away.

How to choose among the doctors here

The three profiles on this page share one clinic, so the choice comes down to how well each doctor's listed focus matches your problem. Compare the subspecialties, published services and qualifications:

• For glaucoma or corneal surgery, Dr. Asem Ahmed Alqudah lists glaucoma and cornea as subspecialties, with a glaucoma and corneal surgery consultation as his service.
• For LASIK or corneal concerns, Dr. Noor Mohammad Amin Alqudah lists LASIK and vision correction alongside cornea, with a corneal surgery and LASIK consultation.
• For a general ophthalmology consultation with an eye surgery focus, Dr. Hisham Mohammad Ali Jammal lists eye surgery as his subspecialty and an ophthalmology consultation as his service.

Keep in mind that the platform's ranking score measures how complete and checkable a profile is. It does not measure how skilled a doctor is or what results patients achieve. A detailed profile helps you compare practical details, but it cannot replace a consultation.

If your problem involves the retina, a cataract or another area that is not named in a profile's listed services, ask the clinic whether the doctor manages that condition before you travel. Bring the name of the condition or the symptom you are experiencing so the clinic can route your request correctly.

What to expect at the first visit

Clinic visits at King Abdullah University Hospital are arranged by appointment. Confirm the date, time and clinic before you go, and ask the hospital about arrival instructions and which existing investigations to bring.

Useful items to bring:

• Current glasses or contact lenses, with any prescriptions
• Previous eye examination reports, scans or test results
• A list of current medicines, including eye drops
• A written summary of your symptoms: when they started, how they have changed, and what helped or made them worse

Prepare a few questions in advance. Useful ones include: what the doctor thinks is causing the problem; which tests are needed and whether any must be done before the visit; whether surgery is an option for you and what alternatives exist; what recovery usually involves; and how follow-up is arranged.

After the examination, ask the doctor to summarise the plan in simple terms and write down the next steps. If a procedure is discussed, ask about the risks as well as the expected benefits, and take time to decide. You are not required to agree on the same day.

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

Before you book, ask the clinic directly:

• The consultation fee for the visit you need
• Which insurance plans are accepted, and whether a referral is required
• The working days and hours of the specific doctor you have chosen
• Whether a surgical consultation is charged separately from follow-up visits
• Whether tests done recently elsewhere can be used, or must be repeated

Keep a note of the answers, the appointment date and the name of the person you spoke with. If something is unclear, confirm it in writing through the hospital's appointment system before you travel.
