The most effective treatment for ROP is laser therapy. In our practice we use pattern retinal laser photocoagulation at optimal postnatal age in babies (no more than 2 months)
PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA IN CHILDREN
In our clinic we use several effective methods to reduce the progression
DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
Before any procedure is suggested or performed, a patient needs to go through the correct channels of diagnosis.
Initially, when first enquiring about treatment at a clinic, you will go through a series of tests usually performed by an ophthalmologist, ophthalmic assistant or an optometrist. All our facilities are equipped with specialised eye testing equipment. State of the art equipment is used to guide our ophthalmologists in order to determine the most appropriate treatment which is to be administered to a particular patient.
Diagnostic tests
Refractometry - measurement of the refractive index of the eye with a refractometer Measurement of the corneal curvature: keratometry and keratotopography Visometry - measures best potential visual acuity Visocontrastometry is a method for revealing contrast
sensitivity Measurement of the retinal visual acuity Testing of visual field Intraocular pressure measurement
Ultrasound tests
Ultrasound biometry measures the main parameters of
the eye Ultrasound pachimetry measures the thickness of the
cornea Dopplerography helps to examine blood flow in blood
vessels supplying the eye Ultrasound two-dimensional scanning allows to investigate
the eye condition and rule out any intraocular lesion
Pachymetry
B-scanning (Ultra Scan, Alcon)
Electrophysiological tests
Electroretinography Electrooculography Visual evoked responses Electrical sensitivity and lability
Fluorescein angiography is a diagnostic procedure which allows the blood vessels at the back of the eye to be photographed. It helps the doctor confirm a diagnosis and provide guidelines for treatment.
New technologies
Our clinic is equipped with the latest state of the art diagnostic and surgical equipment found in the world today.
Optical coherence tomographer STRATUS OCT 3 (Carl Zeiss)
STRATUS OCT 3 reveals the layers of the retina in a high-resolution (10 microns), cross-sectional view. OCT allows to diagnose and manage a broad range of diseases that affect and damage the retina.
" RetCam 3 " Visual System
Digital Paediatric Retinal Camera is a digital, color fundus camera designed specifically for taking photos of the retina of premature infants.
