Farabi Eye Hospital, with a rich history spanning over 80 years, stands as an emblem of pioneering ophthalmic care in Iran and the region. Established by the revered Prof Mohammad-Gholi Shams, a prominent figure in the 1930s, Farabi is not just a hospital; it’s a legacy. Professor Shams, the first chair of ophthalmology in Iran, eradicated trachoma as a major cause of blindness in the region and performed the first corneal graft operation in 1934. Under his guidance, Farabi Eye Hospital became the first specialized eye hospital and a crucial hub for ophthalmological leadership in Iran. Over the years, Farabi underwent significant transformations, evolving through three generations of buildings. The hospital’s Ophthalmology Department building, inaugurated in 1946, marked a significant milestone, boasting a 120-bed occupancy that later expanded to 220. In 1980, the hospital expanded further, becoming the Farabi Teaching Hospital and remained a beacon of ophthalmic excellence. Today, Farabi Comprehensive Center of Excellence in Ophthalmology (FCCEO) stands as the region’s largest and most productive eye care center, offering top-notch services to international patients. With a team of highly skilled ophthalmologists, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and cutting-edge treatments, Farabi continues to uphold its legacy as one of the biggest and most well-equipped centers for treating eye diseases in the Middle East. State-of-the-art equipment, including Phacoemulsification, YAG and Excimer lasers, and Femtosecond laser, are available for performing intricate surgical operations, making Farabi a preferred choice for individuals seeking unparalleled eye care services for themselves and their families. Farabi International Patient Department (IPD) extends a range of specialized services, from cataract surgery to corneal transplants, ensuring international patients receive the highest standards of care and access to the latest advancements in ophthalmic treatments and research.
