Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers from YAS Eye Clinic

Practical, no-jargon answers to the questions our patients ask most often.

What eye conditions do you treat?

We diagnose and treat cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, macular holes, retinal tears, dry eyes, refractive errors, and many other eye conditions.

How often should I have an eye examination?

Adults should have comprehensive eye examinations every one to two years, while individuals with diabetes, glaucoma, or other eye diseases may require more frequent evaluations.

Do you perform retinal surgery?

Yes. We provide advanced vitreoretinal surgery, retinal detachment repair, vitrectomy, laser treatments, and intravitreal injections for various retinal disorders.

What is OCT and why is it important?

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a quick, non-contact scan that shows a detailed cross-section of your retina. It helps us diagnose and monitor glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and many other conditions — often before you notice any vision change.

Do you see children?

Yes. We routinely treat children from age 6 and up for common issues such as refractive error, eye infections, allergy-related irritation, and screening for lazy eye (amblyopia) before school age.

How do I book my first appointment?

Just call +965 553 06625, send a WhatsApp on the same number, or use the booking form on this page. Our care team replies the same day and will help you find a slot that works.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring any current glasses or contact lenses, a list of medicines you take, your insurance card if you have one, and any previous eye reports. If you wear contact lenses, please leave them out for at least two hours before your appointment.

How long does recovery take after cataract surgery?

Most patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours and return to normal activities within a few days. We see you the next day, after one week, and once more in the first month to confirm everything is healing well.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes — we work with major Kuwaiti and GCC insurance providers for consultations and many covered procedures. Bring your insurance card; our front desk will verify your benefits before any treatment is scheduled.
