Ophthalmology refers to the “medical eye treatment”. The ophthalmologist is the practitioner carrying out the procedures, and paediatric ophthalmology is a special field of ophthalmology for the treatment of children.
Meaning and treatment fields
In addition to the treatment of visual problems, which can be treated with visual aids (glasses, contact lenses) or surgical visual corrections, the three other main ophthalmologist treatments are cataract, glaucoma and macular degeneration (central retinal degeneration). The medical screenings of the ophthalmologist focus on these four fields, which we of course offer in the form of examinations, treatments and, if necessary, surgical procedures.
The medical screenings take place during specific intervals, depending on the patient’s age and family history of any eye disease. Therefore, recommendations for prevention must almost always be made for a patient individually.
