Treatment surgery such as correcting one’s vision is permitted by Islam. Furthermore, Islam encourages Muslims to seek treatment for each and every sickness that has befallen upon them. The Prophet s.a.w said that there is no sickness that Allah s.w.t has given to the world that comes without a cure. In another Hadith, the Prophet s.a.w urged his followers to seek treatment for their sicknesses.

Nevertheless, Islam also acknowledges the fact that not everyone can afford to seek treatment, especially in today’s context. Hence, it is acceptable if one is unable to do so and if one is patient, Insya Allah one will be rewarded accordingly.
