About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the HELIOS Clinic Krefeld offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in this medical field. In addition, innovative surgical interventions are performed here. The main activities include the treatment of cataracts, glaucoma, diseases of the retina, vitreous body, cornea, strabismus, plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids and orbit. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Marcus Knorr.
Before any surgery, much attention is paid to a critical analysis of all the benefits and risks of surgery in the light of possible concomitant eye diseases, general health, as well as individual wishes and needs of patients.
One of the most common ophthalmic diseases is cataract. The specialists of the department have a huge experience and show excellent results of treatment of all forms of this disease: congenital cataract, cataract in children, cataract after trauma, etc. The department has high-precision diagnostic methods and offers all modern surgical methods that are absolutely safe and effective. As a rule, operations for cataract treatment are performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia.
Glaucoma is also a fairly common problem. In the initial stages, conservative treatment is possible (special drops that help reduce intraocular pressure and relieve tension in the optic nerve). If conservative treatment does not yield positive results, and the ailment continues to progress, the specialists of the department select the optimal variant of surgical treatment.
The department’s scope of tasks also includes the diagnostics and treatment of various forms of strabismus: congenital and acquired. Here is provided treatment of latent strabismus (heterophoria), which manifests itself only in stressful situations (for example, fatigue, alcohol effects), concomitant strabismus, which usually develops during the first three years of a person's life, and paralytic strabismus, which is a paralysis of the eye muscles due to various causes (diabetes, circulatory disorders, inflammations or traumas).
The range of medical services of the department includes:
