TREATMENT FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) happens when a part of the retina called the macula is damaged. With AMD you lose your central vision and you cannot see fine details. We annually carry out almost 5,000 intraocular injection treatments for wet AMD. AMD diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care are carried out by the most experienced retinal specialists. The access to treatment is fast. In diagnosis and follow-up care, we use the latest precise imaging technology, such as OCT light layer imaging.

 

 TREATMENT FOR DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

We use the latest imaging technology in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. We treat diabetic retinopathy by means of laser technology and/or intraocular injections. We have centralized the diagnosis, the treatment and the follow-up care to the best diabetes specialists. We carry out the treatment in collaboration with internal medicine physicians by holistically taking into account the balance of diabetes.

 

CATARACT SURGERY

We annually operate on approximately 2,000 cataracts. Our staff is highly experienced and the dissecting microscopes are the best on the market. Surgical complications are rare. The access to treatment is fast and the pre-examination, cataract surgery and discharge take place during the same day.   

 

RETINAL SURGERY

We annually carry out about 500 retinal surgery operations that consist of vitreous cleaning operations for diabetics and retinal surgery operations utilizing the most modern technologies and top-class dissecting microscopes. Our ophthalmic surgeons have carried out thousands of retinal surgeries. Most of the surgeries are carried out under local anesthesia, which enables going home faster.

 

NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY

The neuro-ophthalmologist is a university clinic specialist, who ensures high-quality neuro-ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment. The radiography examinations comprise the imaging of the fundus, visual field examinations, OCT, CT and MRI examinations. We often carry out the treatment of optic nerve diseases in flexible cooperation with neurologists, neurosurgeons, internal medicine physicians and radiologists. We mainly treat glaucoma patients with medication and laser technology. Some of the glaucoma patients require surgery, which we implement with modern technology.

 

PAEDIATRIC EYE DISEASES

The treatment of strabismus and children’s inflammatory eye diseases are carried out with highest quality by experienced ophthalmologists. We have taken into consideration the special needs of children in order to ensure that our treatments are as pleasant an experience as possible for children.
