About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with diseases of the eye and its appendages. The young patients are offered the comprehensive treatment for strabismus. The department’s specialists use the cutting-edge laser systems in their work, which can improve or maintain vision even in the most difficult clinical situations. The diagnostic and therapeutic process is carried out in strict accordance with the protocols of the German and European Societies of Ophthalmology. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Pieter Nelis.
One of the department's key focuses is the treatment of cataracts and astigmatism using an innovative femtosecond laser. The treatment technique is highly accurate and effective. Laser energy (focused and amplified light) acts on the tissue for several hundred femtoseconds, but has a strong effect on the lens and cornea of the eye. The femtosecond laser procedures to treat cataract are an excellent alternative to scalpel surgery. The procedure itself consists in replacing the lens and usually lasts only about 10-15 minutes. The patient practically does not feel pain. In addition, cataract surgery may be combined with astigmatism treatment. Thus, the patient can avoid another operation and at the same time improve visual acuity.
The ophthalmologists of the department also specialize in surgical interventions to treat amblyopia, eye tumors, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, occlusion of the lacrimal ducts, orbital injuries and other pathologies.
Of particular interest to the department is the correction of strabismus in adults and children. Before treatment, the patient undergoes the comprehensive diagnostics, according to the results of which the optimal treatment option is selected. The aim of the treatment is not only to improve vision, but also to restore the physiological position of the eyes. The surgical interventions of this kind are performed by specially trained surgeons who posses expert knowledge about the interaction of the eye muscles and have extensive experience to achieve the optimal result.

- Laser therapy
