Comprehensive Eye Care, From Checkup to Surgery
The Ophthalmology department at Al Abeer Medical Center provides complete eye care for patients of all ages, from routine vision checkups to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of complex retinal and cataract conditions. Our ophthalmologists combine hands-on clinical examination with modern diagnostic technology to catch issues early, when treatment is simplest and most effective.
Whether you need a straightforward eye exam, management of a chronic condition like diabetic retinopathy, or surgical care for cataracts or retinal detachment, our team is equipped to handle it under one roof.
