Eye Clinic services

Examination and diagnosis

The foundation every treatment plan is built on.

  • Vision testing and visual acuity measurement
  • Fundus examination
  • Colour vision testing
  • Eye pressure measurement
Follow-up of eye conditions

Conditions that need regular follow-up, not a single visit.

  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Medical treatment of retinal conditions
  • Eye follow-up for people with diabetes
Children’s vision

What is found early is easier to treat.

  • Children’s vision problems
  • Squint (strabismus)
  • Lazy eye (amblyopia)
  • Pre-school eye check
If you have diabetes: a fundus examination every year is not a luxury. Diabetic retinopathy progresses without any symptoms in its early stages, and by the time you notice a change in your vision it has already advanced. Early examination protects your sight.

When should you visit the Eye Clinic?

  • Blurred or hazy vision, or difficulty reading
  • Recurring headaches with eye strain
  • Persistent redness, pain or discharge
  • Sudden flashes of light or floating dark spots
  • A squint in your child, or your child sitting very close to screens
  • A year since your last eye check if you have diabetes or high blood pressure
This cannot wait: sudden loss of vision, or flashes with a dark curtain covering part of your field of vision — these need immediate assessment and must not be put off until the next day.

Frequently asked questions about the Eye Clinic

What services does the Eye Clinic offer?

Vision testing and visual acuity measurement, fundus examination, colour vision testing, follow-up of glaucoma and cataracts, medical treatment of retinal conditions, and children’s vision problems and squint — at Medical World Polyclinic — Al-Taawun Branch, Riyadh.

Do you do the vision test for the driving licence?

Yes. The vision test is part of the medical exam for issuing and renewing a driving licence, and it is done inside the branch with electronic linking to the Traffic Department. It is also part of the firearms licence exams.

How often should I have my eyes checked if I have diabetes?

The common recommendation is a fundus examination at least once a year. Diabetic retinopathy progresses without symptoms in its early stages, and regular examination is the only way to detect it early.

When should my child see an eye doctor?

When you notice a squint, sitting very close to the screen or book, tilting the head while looking, or a drop in school performance. The vision test is also one of the most important parts of the medical exam before starting school.

What is the difference between cataracts and glaucoma?

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens that makes vision gradually blurry. Glaucoma, on the other hand, is linked to raised eye pressure and damages the optic nerve; the danger is that it can progress without symptoms until late stages — which is why eye pressure is measured regularly.

Which conditions cannot wait?

Sudden loss of vision, flashes of light with a dark curtain covering part of the field of vision, or sudden severe pain in the eye. These need immediate assessment.

Can headaches be caused by the eyes?

Yes. Eye strain from an uncorrected refractive error or unsuitable glasses is a common cause of recurring headaches — and a simple vision test can reveal it.

Do you accept medical insurance?

Yes, we accept all health insurance companies, as well as payment by cash, mada, Tamara and Tabby.
