About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Hannover Medical School offers the full range of medical services to patients with diseases of the eyes and their appendages. The department's highly qualified doctors provide treatment to both adults and children. The scope of competence of the medical team includes diagnostic tests, conservative and microsurgical treatment of ophthalmic pathologies of any severity. The department also admits patients who need emergency ophthalmic care. More than 3,700 inpatients and about 22,000 outpatients undergo treatment in the department annually. The medical facility has three operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology. One of the operating rooms is designed for outpatient procedures. The team of the department's doctors annually performs more than 4,000 ophthalmological procedures, so it can be deservedly proud of its rich and unique clinical experience. The hospital has 33 beds for patient hospitalization. The entire staff of the medical facility cares about the high quality of medical services and the maximum comfort of patients.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Carsten Framme. According to the reputable Focus magazine, the professor is ranked among the best German ophthalmologists! The specialist has been heading the department since 2012 and during this time he has helped thousands of patients restore their eyesight and see the world in bright colors. The professor has a perfect command of all modern treatment methods for ophthalmic diseases and monitors innovations in this medical field.
The main areas of the department's clinical activity include both drug and surgical treatment of retinal and macular diseases, corneal disease, as well as the treatment of glaucoma and cataracts. For these purposes, the very latest medical technologies are available here, including vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous body) using 23G and 25G vitrectomy without suturing, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), trabeculoplasty for glaucoma treatment, perforating keratoplasty (corneal transplantation), transplantation of the inner corneal layers (DMEK), crosslinking for keratoconus and many other treatment methods. In addition, the department's priority focus is on the correction of strabismus in adults and children.
It is no secret that accurate diagnostics is the key to successful treatment. As of today, the department offers the very latest methods of imaging diagnostics, as well as innovative systems, which can be used to record, analyze and compare examination results. The department employs specially trained, experienced doctors with additional qualifications in the field of imaging diagnostics, which guarantees one hundred percent accuracy of the diagnosis. In addition, the examination results are digitally stored and available to all doctors in the department.
The department's therapeutic options include conservative treatment (use of eye drops, systemic treatment with various groups of medicines), surgical treatment of the eyelids and orbits (interventions are performed without damaging the eyeball; for example, correction of droopy eyelids, removal of excess eyelid skin, removal of periorbital tumors and eye enucleation), surgical treatment of the anterior segment of the eye (typical operations include corneal transplantation, surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts) and surgical treatment of the posterior segment of the eye (typical operations include interventions for the treatment of retinal detachment, peeling of the epiretinal membrane, placement of subretinal implants).
The department's range of diagnostic and therapeutic services includes:
- Diagnostic examinations
