About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Eye Center im Brienner Hof Munich offers the full range of diagnostic and treatment services for patients with diseases of the eye and its appendages. The department admits patients of all ages, including children and adolescents. The specialists of the medical facility regularly perform conservative and surgical treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, diseases of the macula, retina, and vitreous body, ophthalmic complications of diabetes mellitus, and dry eye syndrome. The department's pediatric ophthalmologists provide medical care to young patients with strabismus, amblyopia, myopia, diplopia, nystagmus, and other diseases. The department is equipped with the latest generation of diagnostic equipment: optical coherence tomography, angiography, fundus photography, Pentacam corneal computer topography, endothelial microscopy, perimetry, and other tests are performed here. Treatment options include laser techniques, microsurgical procedures, intravitreal drug injections, etc. The department has a highly qualified team of ophthalmologists whose vast experience allows them to achieve incredible results.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Anselm Kampik. For 10 years, he headed the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Wuerzburg, and for over 15 years, he served as Head Physician of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, which is one of the best medical complexes in Germany and throughout Europe. Prof. Kampik is the winner of many prestigious awards from the German, French, and Italian Societies of Ophthalmology. For about 20 years, he was a Board Member of the German Society of Ophthalmology (DOG). Since 1993, Prof. Anselm Kampik has been regularly ranked among the best ophthalmologists in Germany, according to the Focus magazine!
The key focus of the department's clinical practice is the treatment of retinal and vitreous diseases, such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhages, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, epiretinal gliosis, and traumatic retinal and vitreous injuries. The "gold standard" for the treatment of these pathologies is pars plana vitrectomy. This is a surgical procedure in which microsurgical instruments are inserted into the vitreous cavity through the pars plana holes and removed to perform the necessary manipulations on the retina. The vitreous body is then replaced with a saline solution, a gas bubble, air, or silicone oil. When performing vitrectomy, the department's specialists use 23-, 25-, or 27-gauge instruments, depending on the specific clinical situation. In most cases, the surgical procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
The department also has impressive experience in the treatment of macular diseases. Of particular interest is the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This progressive disease affects the central part of the retina (macula) and causes problems with central vision, which may potentially lead to irreversible blindness. There are two main forms of AMD: dry and wet. The most effective treatment for the wet form of the disease is intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs. The department's ophthalmologists use the following anti-VEGF medicines: Lucentis®, Eylea®, Avastin®, Brolucizumab®, Ozurdex®, Iluvien®, and Jetrea®. Intravitreal injections are performed in the department's operating rooms under conditions of absolute sterility. The therapeutic procedure is carried out under drip anesthesia, so any pain is excluded. Performing an intravitreal injection takes only a few seconds. After the therapeutic manipulation, the ophthalmologist applies antibiotic eye drops or an eye patch.
The department's team of doctors regularly operates on patients with cataracts. This pathology is one of the most common in ophthalmology. It causes partial or complete clouding of the lens, resulting in impaired vision. Cataracts are difficult to treat conservatively, so the need for a surgical intervention is only a matter of time. The department's ophthalmic surgeons treat cataracts using ultrasonic phacoemulsification. This operation is highly effective and is recognized as the best option for cataract treatment throughout the world. The essence of the operation is to remove the clouded lens that prevents the normal refraction of light rays and replace it with an intraocular lens. All surgical procedures are performed through a micro-incision of approximately 1.8 mm under local drip anesthesia. Ultrasonic phacoemulsification is performed on an outpatient basis and takes no more than 15-20 minutes.
The department's ophthalmologists are also skilled in the laser treatment of secondary cataracts, which sometimes occur after surgery to replace the natural lens and lead to repeated vision loss. In such situations, specialists at the medical facility perform a YAG laser capsulotomy. The procedure is painless, takes only a few minutes, and can restore vision the next day.
The department specializes in the treatment of the following eye diseases:
- Retinal and vitreous diseases
- Retinal detachment
- Vitreous hemorrhages
