Going for eye surgery

· 14 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If someone has eyes with the eyeball not in the centre but it tends to move inside so that it doesn't look normal. Sometimes it becomes a reason for others to laugh. My question is can that perssn take some kind of surgery for this?

Answer

If he is able to see well, we suggest that he does not interfere with his eyes through surgery, etc. as there is fear that this can lead to complications. He should not pay attention to the opinions of people.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
