Eye health is of great importance in terms of quality of life. If some eye diseases are not treated early, they may develop into permanent damage, leading to vision loss. For this reason, it is crucial to have a regular eye examination and detect potential eye diseases before they develop. Healthy people should have an eye examination once a year, and those who have any complaints about their eye health should have them examined before.
In the Department of Eye Health and Diseases, services are provided for the residual parts of the eye such as diseases of the retina and vitreous, refractive cataract surgery, oculoplastic surgery, glaucoma, diagnosis and treatment of macular disease, refractive defects, strabismus, pediatric ophthalmology, retinopathy of prematurity and diseases of the retina and cornea. Specialized doctors make use of current technologies in diagnosing and treating eye diseases.
At Tadawi Group’s ophthalmology clinics, every patient undergoes a routine eye examination along with contact lens and glasses procedures.
If the patient suffers from drooping eyelids, the specialist doctor can perform a dry eyelid surgery to repair the eyelids. The surgery begins with the doctor making an incision in the skin and removing part of it to reshape it correctly.
Some patients with poor vision have their problem caused by cataracts. It is a condition in which the lens of the eye is cloudy in a way that makes it difficult for the patient to see. In this case, the specialist doctor performs cataract surgery, which aims to replace the cloudy eye lens with an artificial lens that allows for clear vision.
Corneal transplant surgery is a difficult surgery. A specialist doctor resorts to this operation if the patient’s cornea is injured and all drug solutions and treatments have failed to repair it. In this surgery, the eye must remain open, so the surgeon uses a special tool to open the eye, and then the surgeon performs surgery inside the eye. There are two types of penetrating keratoplasty (partial-thickness corneal transplant) and lamellar keratoplasty (partial-thickness corneal transplant).
A relatively common condition, it is a disease that destroys the optic nerve of the eye as a result of fluid accumulating in the front part of the eye in a way that increases intraocular pressure. To treat glaucoma, the doctor begins drug treatments and conducts periodic examinations of the patient to evaluate his health condition. When drug treatments fail, the doctor can resort to glaucoma surgery, which is a delicate surgery that begins with inserting a small tube (shunt) into the white of the eye. The function of this tube is to drain excess fluid into the eye. This differentiation leads to relief of pressure on the eye. If the doctor resorts to a trabeculectomy, he will create a small opening in the upper part of the eye under the eyelid to allow excess fluid to drain.
If the patient suffers from problems with corneal curvature, this will lead to poor vision, either at near or far distances. In this case, it is possible to resort to prescription glasses as a treatment for this problem. If the patient wants to treat the problem without glasses, he will have the only option, which is a laser. In laser surgery, the ophthalmologist uses a laser to modify the shape of the cornea. This adjustment made by the doctor to the shape of the cornea makes the patient’s vision clearer and thus his vision becomes normal at near or far distances. Of course, this operation requires that the patient be a fully developed adult. If the patient suffers from dry eyes or a thin cornea, the doctor may resort to photorefractive keratectomy in this case.
The retina in the eye is a very important part, and if this part is exposed to any injury, the patient’s sight may be threatened. Therefore, any injury that occurs in the retina must be treated quickly. The ophthalmologist often begins drug treatments and conducts periodic examinations of the patient to evaluate his health condition and the degree of his response to treatment. If drug treatments fail, the doctor resorts to surgery to repair the damaged or detached network. The doctor’s intervention varies depending on the case. In the case of retinal detachment, the doctor may use a freezing probe to stabilize it (cryofixation) or may use a laser (photocoagulation). If the doctor resorts to scleral buckle surgery, the doctor will place a small elastic band around the white part of the eye. The function of this tape is to gently push the sides of the eye toward the retina to help it reattach. In pneumatic stabilization surgery, the doctor injects a small air bubble into the middle of the eyeball to push the retina into place before starting the cryofixation or photocoagulation process. Over time, the bubble will disappear on its own. In a vitrectomy, the doctor will use a suction tool to remove most of the vitreous in a way that allows the surgeon to reach the retina and provide space for the bleb.
An important note when undergoing pneumatic retinopexy: The air bubble will remain in the eye when performing pneumatic retinopexy for a period that may extend from 5 days to several months after surgery. Some materials used in anesthesia can interact with the air bubble and change its size, so it is necessary to inform any doctor with whom you want to perform surgery after the operation, especially the anesthesiologist.
One common condition that happens to the eye is that the eyes do not move together. In this case, one eye may drift inward, outward, upward, or downward, while the other eye looks in a different direction. This condition is called strabismus. In this case, the doctor begins using drug treatments and conducts periodic examinations of the patient to evaluate his health condition and response to treatment. If drug treatments do not succeed in solving the problem, the doctor will resort to eye muscle surgery. In eye muscle surgery, the doctor will reshape the eye muscles into their correct position using medical techniques that tighten and relax the muscles. In eye muscle surgery, the doctor may need to remove part of the muscle or reattach the muscle to a different point in the eye.
The method of anesthetizing a patient when performing eye surgery varies depending on several cases, including the type of surgery, the patient’s age, the patient’s health condition, and several additional factors. But if we talk in general, some eye surgeries often involve general anesthesia (general anesthesia is anesthesia in which you are completely unconscious throughout the operation). In some cases, the doctor may resort to the second option, which is controlled anesthesia with supplementary local anesthesia to prevent you from feeling any pain. In most cases, the patient is anesthetized through an IV before surgery. Local anesthesia is injected near the eye.
The level and percentage of anesthesia varies depending on the duration of the operation, the patient’s age, and his health condition. The level of sedation is often set to near minimum so that you remain awake but completely relaxed. This method of anesthesia is very important in eye surgery because the surgeon does not want the patient to move his head during the operation. Of course, some cases need to be taken into account, such as blepharoplasty, because excessive anesthesia may make the anesthetized patient’s eyelids droop more than necessary, and this is something that hinders the surgeon. There are also cases where anesthetic eye drops are sufficient as a local anesthetic, such as for laser procedures.

Before the surgery, the specialist doctor will discuss the details of the surgery with the patient and will tell him everything related to the surgery from the beginning of the surgery until the end of the recovery period. This will include the instructions that must be followed before the surgery, including not eating or drinking for a certain period of time before the surgery. It is preferable to completely stop smoking and drinking alcohol months before the surgery. It is necessary for the patient to inform the doctor supervising his treatment of all the medications he is taking, including vitamins, nutritional supplements, medical medications prescribed by a specialist doctor, and any chemical or pharmaceutical substance. It is necessary for the patient to have an accompanying person (a friend or family member) because after the operation the patient will not be able to return home alone and will need assistance for a period of time.
This varies depending on the type of anesthesia. Of course, if the patient is under general anesthesia, he will be completely unconscious and unable to see anything. If the patient is under local anesthesia, he will be awake and able to see, but he will not be able to see what the surgeon is doing, and the other eye will be covered with a cloth. In general, the patient will be completely relaxed and will not feel any pain, but he may see some lights and colors.
