Refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia are caused by imperfections in the cornea, which lead to blurred vision. Vision correction surgery can effectively correct these errors and restore clear vision.

About Implantable Lenses

Implantable lenses, also known as phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs), are lenses that are surgically placed inside the eye to correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia), and astigmatism.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit on the surface of the eye, phakic intraocular lenses are positioned inside the eye, in front of the natural lens.

This type of vision correction can be an effective and reassuring option for individuals who may not be suitable candidates for laser eye surgery, such as LASIK or PRK.

If you are considering ICL surgery in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Moorfields Eye Hospitals offers world-class expertise and care. Our highly trained refractive surgery specialists will conduct a comprehensive eye assessment to determine whether Implantable Lenses are right for you. We will consider your prescription, eye structure, and lifestyle to provide a tailored, safe, and effective vision correction solution.

ِAbout Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the normally round cornea becomes thin and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This distortion causes blurry or distorted vision and can significantly affect a person’s ability to see clearly. The condition often develops during adolescence and may progress more quickly if it begins at a younger age or if there is frequent eye rubbing.

At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai and Abu Dhabi, our Keratoconus specialists use advanced diagnostic tools and personalised keratoconus treatment options to support long-term eye health and help patients maintain the best possible vision.

A cataract is a condition in which the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, hindering the transmission of light rays to the retina. This leads to blurred, hazy vision or, in severe instances, loss of sight.

About Corneal Transplant

The cornea is a window of transparent tissue at the front of the eyeball. It allows light to pass into the eye and provides focus so that images can be seen clearly. Various diseases or injuries can make the cornea either cloudy or change shape. This prevents the normal passage of light into the eye and affects vision.
The cornea has three main layers (thin outer and inner layers and a thick middle layer). In some diseases, only the inside layer (endothelium) is affected, causing corneal oedema (swelling) and clouding.

What is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), also known as meibomian gland disease, is a common condition in which the oil-producing glands in the eyelids become blocked or do not function properly. These glands are essential in maintaining a healthy tear film, which keeps the surface of the eye moist and comfortable.

When the glands are not functioning correctly, the tear film becomes unstable and evaporates too quickly. This can lead to dry, irritated, or uncomfortable eyes. This condition is particularly common in older adults, but it can also affect individuals of any age.

At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment options to help manage Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and improve your long-term eye comfort and vision
