Ophthalmology & Eye Surgery Center

The Ophthalmology & Eye Surgery Center is the flagship department of Al Ihsan Specialist Hospital – Hargeisa. It continues the legacy of Dr. Mohamoud Ahmed (Dr. Shine), who has restored sight to over 1 million people across Somalia & Somaliland through 20+ years of eye campaigns, surgeries, and outreach programs.

Our mission is to preserve, protect, and restore vision using the latest surgical technologies, world-class diagnostic tools, and highly trained specialists — all supported by compassion, affordability, and Islamic values.
