What we treat, and what to expect when you come in.
A careful look at how well you see, and how healthy your eyes are.
We check your sight, measure the pressure inside your eye, and look at the back of the eye where many problems begin. You leave knowing exactly where you stand.
Small-incision (phaco) surgery, here since 2007, with premium and laser-assisted options.
A cataract makes everything look faded or foggy. Through a small incision, the cloudy lens is broken up and replaced with a clear artificial one. Basir has offered phacoemulsification since 2007, for adults and children.
Also: Complex cataract surgery, Secondary lens (IOL) implant, Lens (IOL) exchange, YAG capsulotomy
LASIK, PRK, SMILE and implantable lenses, for less reliance on glasses.
Laser vision correction reshapes the front of the eye so light focuses where it should; an implantable lens does the same job from inside the eye. Neither is right for everyone, so it starts with an honest assessment. Basir has performed excimer laser surgery since 2007.
Also: Refractive lens exchange, Limbal relaxing incisions
From keratoconus to corneal transplant. The first corneal transplant in Iraq was done here.
The cornea is the clear window at the front of the eye. When it thins, scars or clouds over, sight suffers. In early 2008 Basir carried out the first corneal transplant in the Kurdistan Region and in Iraq.
Also: Pinguecula excision, Amniotic membrane graft, Keratoprosthesis, PTK, Corneal glue
Injections, laser and surgery for the retina and the back of the eye.
Diabetes, age, inflammation and injury can all affect the retina, the thin layer that turns light into sight. We look closely, explain what we find, and treat what needs treating, from injections and laser to surgery inside the eye.
Also: PVR surgery, Submacular hemorrhage, Gene therapy, ROP treatment, Foreign body removal
Also: Diagnostic vitrectomy
Glaucoma is quiet. Catching it early protects the sight you have.
Glaucoma slowly damages the nerve that connects your eye to your brain, often without symptoms. Regular pressure checks and nerve scans let us act before sight is lost, with drops, laser or surgery when needed.
Also: Bleb revision, Congenital glaucoma surgery
Gentle eye care for children of every age, from newborns to teenagers.
A squint or a lazy eye is easiest to treat while a child is young. We keep visits gentle and explain everything to parents in plain words. Everything we do for children is gathered here, in one place.
Also: Adjustable sutures, Oblique muscle surgery, Nystagmus surgery
Drooping or turned eyelids, lumps, thyroid eye disease, and the bones around the eye.
Oculoplastic surgery treats the eyelids, the tear system and the socket around the eye. Some of it restores how the eye works, some restores how it looks, and often it does both.
Also: Eyelid reconstruction, Brow lift, Botulinum toxin and fillers
For an eye that waters all the time, in babies and adults.
Tears drain through a small duct into the nose. When it narrows or blocks, the eye waters constantly and can become infected. Most blockages can be opened or bypassed.
Also: Punctoplasty, Canalicular repair, Jones tube
Gritty, tired, burning eyes are common, and treatable.
Dust, screens and dry air can all leave your eyes uncomfortable. We find the cause and help you with a plan that fits your day.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for eye emergencies.
An injury to the eye, a chemical splash or a sudden loss of sight needs care straight away. Call us at any hour, day or night.
