Ophthalmology
The division of Ophthalmology at Najjar Hospital covers all what concerns ophthalmological care, eye disease and trauma, including detailed comprehensive eye exams and complete evaluation of the visual system, such as:
Correction of the vision with glasses
Evaluation of dilated pupils checking for glaucoma
Cataracts
Retinal disease
Our sub-specialty services include two of the most important ophthalmic needs:
1) Cataract and Refractive Surgery Service: Cataract surgery is a treatment applied to the lens of the eye. Refractive surgery is a method for correcting or improving your vision and it is a good option if the patient wants to decrease his/her dependence on glasses or contact lenses. There are various surgical procedures for correcting or adjusting your eye's focusing ability by reshaping the cornea, or clear, round dome at the front of your eye. The most widely performed type of refractive surgery is LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), where a laser is used to reshape the cornea.
2) Oculoplastic Surgery: is the medical and surgical management of deformities and abnormalities of the eyelids, eyebrows, forehead, cheeks, orbit (eye socket), lacrimal system, and cosmetic treatments such as Botox injection, brow lifting and hyaluronic acid filler injections.
