Bright Vision Special Eye Care Center, based in the Bira Building near Wollo Sefer, has become the first facility in Ethiopia to offer refractive eye surgery. The service was made possible through support from the London Vision Clinic, which provided specialised equipment and professional training. The quick procedure, completed in under 10 minutes, treats common vision impairments such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. Previously unavailable in the country, access to this type of treatment often meant travelling abroad. With few institutions providing advanced ophthalmological care, the new centre is expected to close a long-standing gap in the health sector and offer a clearer path for patients seeking timely eye treatment.
