Corneal ring implantation in New Al Shefa Clinic

About the clinic

Corneal ring implantation at New Al Shefa Clinic in Dubai is a specialized procedure used to treat advanced keratoconus. This surgery uses intracorneal ring segments to flatten the cone-like shape of the cornea and improve vision. The treatment is led by Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh, a consultant ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience in corneal surgery.

Treatment for Keratoconus

The procedure involves placing small inserts into the middle layer of the cornea. These segments provide support to the corneal structure and help restore a more natural, rounded shape. By flattening the cornea, the rings help focus light more accurately and slow down the progression of the disease. This method is often recommended for patients who can no longer wear contact lenses or whose condition is worsening.

Benefits and Reversibility

One of the main advantages of corneal ring segments is that they are not permanent. The inserts can be removed or replaced if the patient's vision needs change over time. This procedure acts as a vital step to avoid or delay the need for a full corneal transplant. Patients often experience clearer vision and a better fit for corrective lenses after the eye heals.

Expert Care at New Al Shefa Clinic

New Al Shefa Clinic holds QUAD-A global accreditation and a Ministry of Health license. These credentials confirm the facility meets high international safety standards. The ophthalmology department is equipped for complex eye surgeries and diagnostic testing.

Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh performs these procedures with over 30 years of experience. He completed a double fellowship in anterior and posterior segment surgery at Queen Victoria Hospital in the UK. As a pioneer in laser and corneal graft surgery, he manages both simple and advanced cases of corneal thinning. His background in UK hospitals brings a high level of surgical precision to every case.
