Watany Eye Hospitals uses the OPTOS ultra-widefield retinal imaging system for detailed eye examinations. This technology captures up to 200 degrees of the retina in a single shot. Traditional imaging typically covers only 30–50 degrees. The scan takes just a few seconds and requires no pupil dilation. A panoramic image is available immediately for assessment by a retina specialist. The hospital is accredited by the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and operates facilities in Cairo and Hurghada.
