Rapid and precise intervention by a medical team at the Eye Health Center of King Abdullah Medical City, a member of the Makkah Health Cluster, saved the sight of an Egyptian pilgrim after she experienced sudden vision loss.
According to the cluster, thorough examinations revealed that the patient was suffering from retinal detachment accompanied by cataracts, an emergency eye condition that can result in permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.
The patient underwent a delicate, one-day surgery and was discharged in stable condition. She is now receiving close medical follow-up to ensure retinal stability and gradual improvement in her vision, the health cluster said.
The swift response and precise execution of the procedure played a critical role in restoring her sight, enabling the pilgrim to complete her Hajj rituals safely and with comfort.
