Vision impairment refers to a decrease in the ability to see clearly or functionally. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases. People with vision impairment may experience blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, and challenges with tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Vision impairment is categorized into two main types:
At Quironsalud Hospital Dubai, our goal is to assess the cause of your vision impairment and provide targeted treatments to improve your vision, as well as implement tools and techniques that help patients manage daily tasks more effectively.
Refractive errors can often be treated with corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses), but for those with more severe cases, other treatments such as LASIK or intraocular lenses may be considered.
A cataract occurs when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision. This condition is most common in older adults but can develop at any age. Cataract surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens, is a highly effective treatment option available at Quironsalud Hospital Dubai.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. If untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Treatment may involve eye drops, medication, or surgery to reduce eye pressure and preserve vision.
AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over the age of 50. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. At Quironsalud Hospital Dubai, we offer various treatments, including injections and laser therapy, to manage the condition and slow its progression.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, a condition that causes vision impairment. Laser therapy, injections, or surgery can help prevent further damage and preserve vision.
Conditions like retinal detachment, retinal vein occlusion, or diabetic retinopathy can result in severe vision impairment if not treated promptly. Our retina specialists at Quironsalud Hospital Dubai offer advanced diagnostic tools and treatments such as laser surgery, injections, and retinal surgery to address these conditions.
Injuries to the eye or head can cause temporary or permanent vision impairment. Our team provides immediate care for eye injuries, offering treatments ranging from medication to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the damage.
Some people are born with conditions that cause vision impairment, such as retinitis pigmentosa or congenital cataracts. While some genetic conditions are not curable, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and reduce further impairment.
For many individuals with refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, corrective lenses are the first line of treatment. Our optometrists will help you find the most suitable glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision.
For those with severe refractive errors, LASIK surgery offers a permanent solution by reshaping the cornea to improve focus and reduce dependence on corrective lenses. LASIK is a highly effective treatment for vision impairment caused by refractive errors.
If cataracts are the cause of your vision impairment, cataract surgery can restore your vision. During this procedure, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens, improving clarity and brightness.
For retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration, our specialists offer treatments like laser therapy, injections, and surgical procedures to stabilize and improve vision.
For individuals with low vision who cannot be fully treated with surgery or lenses, we provide a variety of assistive devices, including magnifiers, special reading glasses, and electronic aids, to help improve functional vision and maintain independence.
If you experience vision impairment due to age, injury, or disease, our rehabilitation services can help you adapt to changes in your visual abilities. This may include training in mobility, daily living skills, and the use of assistive devices to improve quality of life.
We’d love to hear from you! Feel free to leave us a message.

Great experience with Dr. Ghassan and Dr. Saad for my shoulder rehabilitation. The issue simply explained and identified and getting treated, which was missed by other top physios in Dubai.
Patient
I had my shoulder arthroscopy at this institute, and it went very well. The rehab process for the surgery was administered by Saad. Saad was very helpful and transparent throughout the rehabilitation, from dedicated sessions to regaining full range of motion to strengthening the shoulder back to normal. Highly recommend the institute (Dr. Ghassan especially) and Saad as well for the rehab!
