What we treat

1. Angio OCT

Precise digital eye angiography without the need of intravenous administration of a contrast agent.

Indications for the examination:

age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein thrombosis, central retinal artery occlusion.

2. OCT – optical coherence tomography

Optical coherence tomography is an innovative, non-invasive and painless method of diagnosing diseases of retina and optic nerve. The method allows visualisation of even the smallest retinal lesions, enabling the analysis of the tissue cross-section, three-dimensional image and the formation of maps of particular retinal layers.

Indications for the examination:

age-related macular degeneration (AMD), macular oedema, macular foramina, pre-retinal membrane, diabetic maculopathy, and glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.

3. Fluorescein angiography with a possibility to take a series of photos with a digital camera

This examination involves assessment of the functional state and tightness of retinal vessels. As a result, it is often decisive in making a diagnosis and choosing suitable treatment.

Indications for the examination:

retinal complications of diabetes, central retinal vein thrombosis, and certain forms of AMD.

4. Ophthalmic ultrasound with A-scan, B-scan probes

Ultrasound scan examination is a non-invasive technique enabling the assessment of eye structures. It enables detection of certain posterior eye diseases in the case of opaque optic centres.

Indications for the examination:

diagnostics of retinal detachment, intraocular tumours, intraocular foreign bodies, exudative-haemorrhagic lesions, lesions secondary to diabetes and posterior eye inflammation.

Vitrectomy is a microsurgical procedure involving removal of the vitreous humour, most often to allow access to diseased retina. During the surgery, three small incisions of the sclera are performed (so-called sclerotomes), which allow surgical tools to be inserted into the eyeball.

Indications:

• vitreous haemorrhage,
• retinal detachment,
• pre-retinal membranes,
• macular foramina,
• proliferative vitreoretinopathy,
• intraocular foreign bodies,
• displaced lens fragments,
• endophthalmitis.
