When do you need an eye surgery specialist?

Eye surgery specialists are ophthalmologists who operate as well as diagnose. The doctors on this page cover several areas:

  • laser vision correction such as LASIK and PRK, and implantable lenses
  • cataract removal with lens replacement
  • retinal disease, including injections for diabetic and other retinal conditions
  • glaucoma
  • corneal problems such as keratoconus
  • eyelid and tear-duct surgery
  • squint (strabismus) in children and adults

Common reasons to book an assessment:

  • You want to rely less on glasses or contact lenses and want to know whether vision correction is an option.
  • You have been told you have a cataract and it is starting to affect reading, night driving or daily tasks.
  • You have diabetes. Diabetic eye disease can damage sight before you notice symptoms, so regular eye checks are widely recommended.
  • Your vision is blurred or distorted and does not improve with new glasses.
  • Raised eye pressure was found at a check-up, or glaucoma runs in your family.
  • Your child's eye turns in or out, or your child failed a school vision test.
  • A drooping eyelid blocks your vision, or your eye waters constantly.

Warning signs that need urgent care

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

  • Sudden loss of vision, or a dark shadow or curtain across part of your sight.
  • A sudden shower of new floaters or flashes of light. These can signal a retinal tear or detachment.
  • A painful red eye with blurred vision, headache, nausea or haloes around lights.
  • A chemical splash in the eye. Rinse it with plenty of clean water while help is on the way.
  • Any object that has struck or entered the eye.
  • Sudden double vision, especially with facial drooping, weakness or difficulty speaking.

If you have had eye surgery recently, contact your surgeon's team urgently if pain gets worse, redness increases or vision declines.

How to choose among the doctors here

Searching for the best eye surgery specialists in Jordan usually means finding the right surgeon for one specific problem. Eye surgery is highly sub-specialised, so start there.

  • Match the sub-specialty to your problem.
  • Glaucoma: this is the stated focus of Dr. Salem Abu Al Ghanam, and Dr. Yazan Al Tamimi lists glaucoma surgery fellowship training.
  • Retina: retinal disease and injections appear on Dr. Muataz Harara's profile.
  • Eyelids, tear ducts and orbit: this is central for Dr. Qaseem Naser and Dr. Maher Nofal.
  • Cornea and keratoconus: this features for Dr. Khaled Sharif, Dr. Mohammad Hawari and Dr. Amer Hajjaj.
  • Children and squint: several profiles list children's eye care and strabismus.
  • Ask about the exact procedure. The profiles list LASIK, PRK, laser correction and implantable lenses. These are different operations that suit different eyes. A good assessment explains why each option is or is not recommended, including when the answer is no surgery.
  • Read the qualifications as published, then ask more. Boards and fellowships show the training route. Ask the clinic how often the doctor performs your procedure and how complications are handled.
  • Plan for follow-up. Cataract, LASIK and glaucoma surgery all need several check-ups after the operation. Choose a clinic you can reach easily, with hours that fit your schedule.
  • Consider the centre. Seven of the ten doctors list Jordan Eye Center. Ask how referrals work there if your problem falls outside the first doctor's focus.
  • Personal preference. Dr. Mais Al Jbour is the only female doctor on this list.

What to expect at the first visit

A first eye surgery consultation is usually longer than a routine check. Expect:

  • vision and prescription testing
  • eye pressure measurement
  • examination with a slit-lamp microscope
  • often, dilating drops so the doctor can see the retina

For vision correction, the clinic normally maps the shape of the cornea. For retinal or glaucoma problems, you may need scans of the retina and optic nerve.

How to prepare

  • Dilating drops can blur your vision and make your eyes sensitive to light for several hours. Do not plan to drive afterwards. Bring a companion and sunglasses.
  • If you wear contact lenses and are being assessed for vision correction, ask the clinic in advance when to stop wearing them. Lenses can temporarily change the shape of the cornea.
  • Bring your current glasses, old prescriptions, scan results and any surgery reports.
  • List all your medicines, including eye drops and blood thinners. If you have diabetes, bring recent results.
  • For a child, bring any school screening results and note when you first noticed the problem.

Questions to ask

  • What exactly is my diagnosis, and how urgent is treatment?
  • What are my options, including non-surgical treatment or waiting?
  • What are the main risks, and how are complications managed?
  • What does recovery involve: time off work, driving, eye drops and follow-up visits?
  • Will you perform the operation yourself, and where?

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

None of these ten profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask when you book:

  • What is the consultation fee? Are tests such as scans or corneal mapping charged separately?
  • If surgery is recommended, what does the quoted price include? Check the lens or implant type, the operation itself, medicines and follow-up visits.
  • Does my insurer cover this procedure? Vision correction to reduce dependence on glasses may be treated differently from medically necessary surgery such as cataract or glaucoma surgery.
  • Is pre-approval from the insurer required, and how long does it take?

Two profiles list Arab Orient Insurance: Dr. Maher Nofal and Dr. Salem Abu Al Ghanam. Even so, confirm with both the clinic and your insurer that your specific plan covers the service you need. For the other doctors, ask the clinic which insurers it works with.

When booking, give the reason for your visit so the clinic can allow enough time and arrange the right tests. Ask whether dilating drops will be used.

Getting there

This is a nationwide list for Jordan, and each profile shows its own city, district and map location. Check the address on the profile and confirm it when you book, because some doctors work at centres with more than one branch.

The opening hours shown are the clinic's hours. An individual doctor may only see patients in certain sessions, so confirm your day and time.

Plan your journey home assuming you cannot drive after dilating drops. Allow extra time for parking and registration on a first visit.

Checklist before you book

  • I have matched my eye problem to a doctor's published services.
  • I have checked the clinic address and confirmed the doctor's session time.
  • I have asked about the consultation fee and any separate test charges.
  • I have confirmed with my insurer and the clinic whether my plan applies.
  • I have arranged a companion or transport in case dilating drops are used.
  • I have gathered my glasses, previous reports and medicine list.
  • I have asked about contact lens instructions if vision correction is being assessed.
  • I have written down my questions about options, risks and recovery.
  • I know the urgent warning signs, and that 911 is the emergency number in Jordan.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of eye surgery specialists chosen?
The ten profiles come from 43 eye surgery profiles on ClinicsJo. They are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable their published information is. The score covers platform verification, reviews, experience, qualifications, biography, photo, services, insurers, confirmed hours, fee and map location. Featured placement does not change the score. The order does not measure skill, treatment quality or outcomes.
How do I know if I am suitable for LASIK?
Only a full eye assessment can answer this. Surgeons usually look at how stable your prescription is, the thickness and shape of your cornea, and your general eye and body health. Conditions such as keratoconus can rule laser correction out. Profiles here also list PRK and implantable lenses, which may be discussed when LASIK is not suitable. Ask the surgeon to explain the reasons for any recommendation.
When should a cataract be operated on?
Mainstream guidance, including the NHS, says cataract surgery is considered once cloudy vision starts to affect daily life. Examples include reading, driving or recognising faces. There is no need to wait until the cataract is 'ripe'. The surgeon will examine your eye, discuss lens options and explain the risks. Several doctors on this list offer cataract surgery with lens implantation.
What warning signs after eye surgery need urgent attention?
Contact your surgeon's team immediately if pain increases, the eye becomes redder, vision gets worse instead of better, or discharge appears. Do the same if you see new flashes, floaters or a shadow across your vision. These can signal infection, raised pressure or a retinal problem that needs prompt treatment. If you cannot reach the clinic, or symptoms are severe, call 911.
I have diabetes. Do I need to see an eye specialist?
Diabetic eye disease can damage the retina before you notice any change in vision, so regular eye checks are recommended for everyone with diabetes. If disease is found, treatment may include injections or laser, decided after examination. Dr. Yazan Al Tamimi and Dr. Amer Hajjaj offer diabetic eye screening, and Dr. Muataz Harara offers retinal injections. Good blood sugar and blood pressure control also helps protect sight.
Which doctors on this list accept insurance?
Two profiles list Arab Orient Insurance: Dr. Maher Nofal and Dr. Salem Abu Al Ghanam, both at Jordan Eye Center. For the other doctors, ask the clinic which insurers it works with. In every case, check with your insurer that your plan covers the specific procedure and whether pre-approval is needed. Vision correction and medically necessary surgery may be treated differently.
Can children be seen by these eye surgeons?
Yes. Several profiles list children's services, including vision tests, strabismus surgery and treatment of lazy eye (amblyopia). Book an assessment if a child's eye turns in or out, they hold things very close, tilt their head to see, or fail a school screening. Get prompt medical advice if a white reflection appears in the pupil in photos. Seek emergency care for any eye injury.
