The medical team at the Eye Center at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam succeeded in saving the sight of a patient suffering from a complete retinal detachment.

The patient came to the hospital's Eye Center, suffering from severe vision impairment. Immediately, Dr. Amin Nawar, a retina and vitreous consultant at the Eye Center at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, examined the patient and found a complete retinal detachment and a large retinal tear. An ultrasound scan was performed on the patient. The eye performs the necessary medical tests and examinations and prepares the patient for the appropriate surgical procedure.


Surgery was performed to repair the retinal detachment, and the patient was discharged after one day, with visual acuity noticeably improving.

It is worth mentioning that this type of operation depends on modern medical technology, which is in line with the vision of Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and precise sub-specialties through the use of the latest technologies and advanced medical equipment in this field.

The medical team at Badana Center in Mouwasat Hospital Al-Khobar has successfully performed a distinguished and pioneering procedure—the first of its kind in the private healthcare sector in the Kingdom.
