Top 3 Oculoplastic Surgery Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Oculoplastic surgery is a branch of ophthalmology. It deals with the eyelids, the tear drainage system and the tissues around the eye. The wider field also diagnoses and treats eye conditions, corrects vision, and includes surgery on the retina and cornea.

Book a routine visit soon if you notice any of the following:

• Recurring headaches together with eye strain or tiredness when reading or using screens
• New floaters, which are small spots or threads that drift across your vision
• Redness or discomfort in the eye that does not settle
• Blurred vision that you cannot explain by a change in glasses
• Regular eye screening if you have diabetes. Major health bodies advise that people with diabetes have their eyes checked at least once a year, because diabetes can affect the retina without early symptoms.

Some problems need care the same day. Do not wait for a booked appointment if you have:

• Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Sudden flashes of light or a shadow spreading across your field of view
• Severe eye pain, especially with nausea or vomiting
• An eye injury, a cut to the eye or a chemical splash

In these cases call 911 or go straight to the nearest emergency department.

How to choose among the doctors here

When people search for the best oculoplastic surgery specialists in Amman, the most useful step is matching the doctor to your concern, because the order on this page reflects profile completeness only. Practical points to compare:

• Services: if your concern is the eyelids, ptosis or tear ducts, read the services lists closely. If it is a child's squint or vision, look for paediatric or strabismus services. If it concerns an eye tumour, the ocular oncology profile is the relevant one.
• Location: three of the four profiles practise at Jordan Eye Center on Mecca Street, Amman. The fourth is linked to King Hussein Cancer Center.
• Hours: check the confirmed hours on each entry against your work or school schedule.
• Language: the profile for Dr. Mais Khaled Al Jbour lists Arabic and English.
• Insurance: check that the clinic accepts your plan before you commit.

A shortlist of two or three doctors is a sensible target. Use it to prepare questions, not to decide on quality alone.

What to expect at the first visit

Preparation makes the first visit more productive. Bring:

• Your identity document
• Your insurance card, if you plan to use insurance
• A list of your current medicines, including eye drops
• Your glasses or contact lens details
• Previous eye reports, and recent blood sugar results if you have diabetes

The doctor will usually ask about your symptoms and their timing, then examine your eyes. An examination may include dilating drops, which can blur vision for several hours and make driving unsafe. Arrange transport in advance.

Write your questions down before you go. Useful ones include: What is most likely causing this? Which tests are needed, and is any of them urgent? What are the treatment options, and what are their risks? What will the visit cost, and what follow-up is planned? Ask for the answers in writing if the plan involves surgery.

Insurance, fees and booking

Fees and insurance details vary by clinic and are not always published in the same way. On this page, the only consultation fee shown is 30 JOD for Dr. Mais Khaled Al Jbour at Jordan Eye Center. Dr. Maher Nabih Nofal's profile lists Arab Orient Insurance. Dr. Mais's profile lists several insurers, most under the NatHealth label. Treat these as published details, not guarantees.

Before booking, ask each clinic:

• Which insurers and plans it accepts for this type of visit
• What a first consultation costs, and whether tests, dilation or procedures are charged separately
• Whether a referral is required
• How long the appointment usually lasts

Use the contact options shown on each profile to book.

Getting there

Jordan Eye Center is on Mecca Street in Amman. Three of the four profiles on this page list it as their clinic. Dr. Mona Mohammad's profile places her at King Hussein Cancer Center, in the area listed as Jubaiha, Amman (also spelled Jubeiha). Her biography also mentions training at Jordan University Hospital. Check the map location shown on each profile and confirm the address when you book. If you travel by taxi or a ride-hailing service, give the clinic address or the map pin rather than a landmark.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm that the doctor's services match your problem.
• Check the confirmed hours on the entry against your schedule.

• Bring your identity document, insurance card, medicine list and previous eye reports.
• Ask whether dilating drops will be used and arrange a companion or transport.
• Note the urgent warning signs above, and call 911 if any appear.
• Ask for the follow-up date and plan in writing.
