When do you need LASIK vision correction?

LASIK is a planned, elective operation. It is not an emergency treatment. It reshapes the cornea, the clear front window of the eye, so that light focuses properly on the retina. It is used to reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses in people with:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia): distant objects look blurred.
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia): near objects are hard to focus on.
  • Astigmatism: vision is distorted or blurred at all distances.

The process usually has four stages: a comprehensive exam, creation of a thin corneal flap, laser reshaping beneath the flap, and a fairly quick recovery. The laser part typically takes about 10–20 minutes for both eyes.

There are several types of procedure:

  • Conventional LASIK creates the flap with a blade device (a microkeratome).
  • Femtosecond (Femto-) LASIK creates the flap with a laser.
  • SMILE removes tissue through a small incision without a flap.
  • PRK treats the surface of the cornea with no flap. It is sometimes suggested when the cornea is thin.

Which option is suitable, if any, can only be decided after measurements of your eyes.

Mainstream guidance generally expects candidates to:

  • be at least 18
  • have had a stable prescription for about a year
  • have healthy corneas of adequate thickness, with no keratoconus
  • have no uncontrolled eye or general health conditions

Pregnancy, severe dry eye, some autoimmune conditions and certain eye diseases may mean waiting or choosing a different approach. LASIK does not stop the age-related need for reading glasses that usually starts in the mid-40s.

It makes sense to book an assessment if glasses or lenses are limiting your work, sport or daily life, or if you cannot tolerate contact lenses.

Get urgent care, and call 911 in an emergency, if you have:

  • a sudden loss of vision
  • a curtain or shadow across your sight
  • a sudden shower of floaters or flashes
  • a chemical splash or injury to the eye
  • severe eye pain with redness, nausea or headache

After any eye surgery, contact your surgeon at once if you have increasing pain, worsening vision, spreading redness or discharge.

How to choose among the doctors here

There is no single verified list of the best LASIK surgeons in Jordan, and this page does not rank surgical skill. Instead, use the published records to narrow your options:

  • Range of alternatives. A good assessment ends with a recommendation, which may be "not LASIK". Some profiles here publish alternatives. Dr. Amer Hajjaj lists PRK. Dr. Yazan Salameh lists femtosecond LASIK and implantable vision-correction lenses. Several doctors list lens implantation.
  • Corneal assessment. Corneal topography and imaging appear in the services of Dr. Khaled Sharif, Dr. Lana Hubaishy and Dr. Mohammad Abu Samak. Keratoconus care is listed by Dr. Sharif, Dr. Hajjaj and Dr. Abu Samak. This matters if you have a thin or irregular cornea, or a family history of keratoconus.
  • Other eye conditions. If you have diabetes or a retinal history, a doctor who also lists retinal and diabetic eye care, such as Dr. Abu Samak or Dr. Hajjaj, can review your whole eye.
  • Centre teams. Three doctors on this list work at Jordan Eye Center on Mecca Street, and two at Sharif Eye Center in Jabal Amman. Ask who examines you, who operates and who handles follow-up.
  • Hours. Sharif Eye Center lists evening hours until 22:00. Dr. Abu Samak's confirmed sessions are limited to three days a week.

What to expect at the first visit

A LASIK assessment usually takes longer than a routine eye test. It often includes:

  • refraction (checking your prescription)
  • measurement of corneal thickness and shape
  • tear-film assessment
  • eye pressure
  • a dilated examination of the retina

Before you go:

  • Ask the clinic how long to leave out your contact lenses beforehand. Lenses can temporarily change the shape of the cornea.
  • Bring your current glasses and any older prescriptions. These help show whether your prescription is stable.
  • Bring a list of your medicines and health conditions, including diabetes, autoimmune disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any previous eye problems.
  • Arrange for someone else to drive. Dilating drops blur vision for a few hours.

Questions worth asking:

  • Am I a suitable candidate, and why?
  • Which technique do you recommend for my eyes, and what are the alternatives?
  • What are the main risks for me? Common ones include dry eye, glare or halos at night, and under- or over-correction. Rare ones include corneal weakening.
  • What happens if a further treatment (enhancement) is needed?
  • What is the follow-up schedule, and who do I contact out of hours?

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

Many insurance policies treat vision correction as elective, so check with your insurer before you book rather than assuming cover. Ask the clinic directly:

  • What is the fee for the assessment, and is it deducted if you go ahead with surgery?
  • Does the surgical quote cover both eyes, the specific technique and device, follow-up visits, eye drops and any enhancement?
  • What are the payment and cancellation terms?
  • Can you have the quote in writing?

When you book, confirm which doctor you will see and the exact session time. Several profiles here note that appointments are arranged through the centre.

Getting there

This is a kingdom-wide list for Jordan, and each profile states its own address. All eight listed doctors are in Amman:

  • Mecca Street: Jordan Eye Center (Dr. Saif Al Rawashdeh, Dr. Khalaf Houshan and Dr. Yazan Salameh)
  • Jabal Amman: Sharif Eye Center (Dr. Khaled Sharif and Dr. Lana Hubaishy)
  • Fifth Circle: Dr. Amer Hajjaj's clinic
  • 3rd Circle: Amman Eye Clinic on Ibn Khaldoun Street (Dr. Mohammad Abu Samak)
  • 7th Circle: Shami Eye Center (Dr. Mohammad Farah)

You should not drive after dilating drops or on the day of surgery, so plan a lift or a taxi.

If you are travelling from another city or from abroad, allow time for:

  • the assessment
  • the procedure
  • early follow-up visits

Ask your surgeon when it is safe to fly or travel after the operation.

Checklist before you book

  • Your prescription has been stable for about a year, and you have older prescriptions to show it.
  • You know how long to leave out contact lenses before the assessment.
  • You have listed your medicines and health conditions, including pregnancy plans.
  • You have chosen a doctor whose published services match your needs, such as corneal imaging, PRK or lens options.
  • You have checked the doctor's confirmed hours against your schedule.
  • You have asked your insurer about cover and requested a written quote from the clinic.
  • You have arranged a driver for the assessment and the surgery day.
  • You know the follow-up plan and who to call if problems appear, and you know to call 911 in an emergency.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of LASIK surgeons in Jordan chosen?
All eight doctors publish LASIK vision correction on their ClinicsJo profiles. They are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable their published information is. The score covers items such as qualifications, biography, services, opening hours and photo. Paid placement plays no part. The order does not measure surgical skill, safety or results, so use it as a starting point for your own comparison.
Am I a suitable candidate for LASIK?
Only a full eye assessment can answer this. Mainstream guidance generally expects candidates to be at least 18, with a stable prescription for about a year and healthy corneas of adequate thickness. Keratoconus, very thin corneas, severe dry eye, pregnancy and some health conditions can rule LASIK out or make another option, such as PRK or a lens implant, more appropriate.
What is the difference between LASIK, Femto-LASIK, SMILE and PRK?
All four reshape the cornea with a laser. Conventional LASIK cuts a corneal flap with a blade device, while Femto-LASIK makes the flap with a femtosecond laser. SMILE removes tissue through a small incision without a flap. PRK treats the corneal surface with no flap but has a slower, more uncomfortable recovery. Your corneal measurements guide which option, if any, is recommended.
Does LASIK hurt, and how long does it take?
Numbing eye drops are used, so most people feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. The laser stage typically takes about 10–20 minutes for both eyes, although you should expect to spend longer at the centre for preparation and checks. Afterwards, eyes often feel gritty or watery for a short time. Follow your surgeon's instructions on drops and rest.
How soon can I return to work or drive after LASIK?
Many people notice clearer vision within a day or two, but recovery varies from person to person. Your surgeon will normally check your eyes the day after surgery and tell you when it is safe to drive, use screens, exercise or swim. Do not drive until you have been cleared. Seek urgent help if pain or blurred vision gets worse.
Will LASIK stop me needing reading glasses later?
Usually not. LASIK corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, but it does not prevent presbyopia, the age-related loss of near focus that typically begins in the mid-40s. Some people in that age group discuss alternatives, such as lens-based options. Doctors on this list who publish lens implantation can explain whether any approach fits your eyes.
Does health insurance in Jordan cover LASIK?
Cover varies between policies, and vision correction is often treated as elective. Check with your insurer before booking. Ask whether the assessment or surgery is covered and what documents are needed. Then ask the clinic for a written quote that states what is included, such as both eyes, follow-up visits and any enhancement.
