Top 4 Retina Clinics in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

The retina is the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that turns light into signals for the brain. Retina specialists assess and treat conditions that affect it, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, blockages of the veins that drain the retina, and retinal detachment. The clinics on this page list retinal services such as diabetic eye screening, retinal photocoagulation, intravitreal injection and retinal disease consultations.

Book a routine visit if you notice new floaters, blurred or dim central vision, difficulty reading, straight lines that look wavy, or a dark patch in the middle of your sight. People with diabetes should have regular dilated eye checks even when vision seems normal, because early retinal changes often cause no symptoms. A visit is also worth considering if macular disease runs in your family.

Some symptoms are urgent. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department without delay if you have a sudden shower of new floaters with flashes of light, a shadow or curtain spreading across your vision, or a sudden drop in vision in one eye. These signs can point to a retinal tear or detachment, and treatment works best when it starts quickly. This guide is general information and cannot replace an examination.

How to choose among the clinics here

Start with your condition, not with the order on the list. The ranking reflects how complete each public profile is, and it does not measure treatment quality. Compare the published services against what you need. If you have diabetes, look for diabetic eye screening and diabetic retinopathy care. If you may need laser or injection treatment, check that the clinic lists retinal photocoagulation or intravitreal injection. Dr Nader Adas Clinic lists retinal disease and laser treatment consultations as its core focus, while Sharif Eye Center and Jordan Eye Center list a wider range of retinal and eye surgery services.

Next, think about the setting. Jordan Eye Center describes optical and diagnostic imaging departments and operating rooms, which can matter if you expect imaging or a procedure on the same site. Dr Amer Hajjaj Ophthalmology Clinic is a single-doctor practice in Fifth Circle that publishes diabetic eye care and children's eye services, so it may suit a family that wants routine checks in one place.

Check opening hours against your schedule. Sharif Eye Center publishes evening hours on most days, to 22:00, which may help people who work during the day. Also plan your trip home after an eye examination with dilation, because your vision may stay blurred for a while.

What to expect at the first visit

Bring your national ID, a list of current medicines, and any previous eye reports, including retinal photographs or laser records if you have them. If you have diabetes, bring your recent blood sugar results and the name of your diabetes doctor. Bring your glasses or contact lenses, and do not forget any prescription eye drops you use.

The doctor will usually ask about your symptoms, when they started, and your general health. An eye examination often includes eye pressure checks and dilation of the pupils, which can make close work and bright light uncomfortable for several hours. Some clinics may also arrange imaging of the retina. Ask what tests are planned and whether results will be available the same day.

Prepare a few questions before you go. Ask what your next step is, how soon you should return, which symptoms should prompt an earlier visit, and whether any treatment would be done at that clinic or referred elsewhere. Writing these down helps you remember the answers.

Insurance, fees and booking

Only Sharif Eye Center lists an insurer on its profile, Arab Orient Insurance. If you hold a different policy, or no policy, contact the clinic before you book and ask which insurers it accepts and whether your plan applies to retinal consultations and procedures. Insurance rules can differ between a consultation and a treatment session, so ask about both.

Ask about fees when you call, not after the visit. The Dr Nader Adas Clinic profile asks patients to confirm the consultation fee directly with the clinic. Ask whether imaging, laser sessions or injections are billed separately, and whether follow-up visits are included. Request the cost in writing if the clinic can provide it.

For booking, confirm the doctor, the requested service and the branch or floor. The Sharif Eye Center profile notes that booking confirms the doctor and requested service at the Amman branch, and the Jordan Eye Center profile says booking staff coordinate the appropriate doctor and investigations. Ask whether you need to arrive early for registration and whether a companion is advised.

Getting there

Jordan Eye Center is on Mecca Street in Amman, near Kilo Roundabout as described in its profile. Sharif Eye Center is in Jabal Amman. Dr Nader Adas Clinic is also in Jabal Amman, on Mai Ziadah Street, reached from the Farah Hospital turnoff off Al Khaldi Street. Dr Amer Hajjaj Ophthalmology Clinic is on the fourth floor of Dahdaleh Medical Complex in Fifth Circle.

If you are travelling after dilation, plan a taxi or a companion rather than driving yourself. Allow extra time for parking and for finding the correct floor or entrance, and call the clinic if you are unsure of the route.
