About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of services in the field of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the eye and its appendages. Medical care is provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department has 42 beds, three state-of-the-art operating rooms, a laser surgery unit, as well as perfectly equipped rooms for diagnostic examinations. The department's priority focuses are on the treatment of glaucoma, including in children, as well as cataract, intraocular lens implantation, keratoplasty, reconstructive surgery after injuries, surgical correction of refractive errors, laser vision correction, etc. All experts of the department have long clinical experience and high professionalism, and they also practice the most effective and modern treatment methods. More than 6,000 inpatients undergo treatment in the department annually. More than 14,400 outpatients receive medical care here every year. The department's medical team aims to provide each patient with an individualized treatment at the highest level of university medicine. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Lutz E. Pillunat.
Cataract is one of the most common ophthalmic diseases, so the department's doctors have rich and successful experience in dealing with this pathology. Cataract is a partial or complete clouding of the lens located between the vitreous body and the iris. The lens is responsible for the refraction of rays and their follow up projection onto the retina. The clouding of the lens disrupts this process, which leads to a decrease in visual acuity or even its complete loss. The department's specialists deal with the treatment of cataract in adults and congenital cataract in children. Early diagnostics of cataract significantly improves the prognosis for the patient, therefore, the department's doctors strongly recommend contacting an ophthalmologist at the first manifestations of visual impairment. The diagnostics usually involves the use of such methods as slit lamp biomicroscopy, examination of the fundus and determination of intraocular pressure, as well as the assessment of visual acuity and visual fields. Cataract is treated with surgery – this is the only 100% effective therapeutic technique. As a rule, doctors perform ultrasound phacoemulsification of the affected lens. During the surgical intervention, the clouded lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. The duration of the operation is 15-20 minutes. The surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia – it is absolutely painless and well tolerated. Drug therapy is carried out at the initial stages of cataract to prevent the progression of the pathology, but today there are no drugs that could cure the pathology completely.
The department's ophthalmologists also often admit patients with glaucoma, which is a progressive disease that causes irreversible blindness. Pathology is initially manifested by an increase in intraocular pressure, which in turn causes the development of optic nerve atrophy. At the stage of diagnostics, tonometry, perimetry, gonioscopy, biomicroscopy, pachymetry, optical coherence tomography are performed. An optimal treatment regimen is developed based on the diagnostic results. Drug therapy assumes the intake of the very latest antiglaucoma drugs in order to reduce the production of intraocular fluid, as well as to improve its outflow. However, conservative treatment is not suitable for all patients, so surgical intervention is the main treatment method. The optimal type of surgery is determined by the ophthalmologist based on the specific clinical case.
The department also admits young patients with ophthalmic diseases. The specialists most often deal with diseases of the lacrimal ducts, ptosis, uveitis, congenital cataract and glaucoma, nystagmus, retinopathy of prematurity, inflammatory eye lesions, eye malformations, etc. With appropriate indications, conservative treatment with modern medicines is carried out. If drug therapy does not give a positive result, doctors resort to surgical treatment of an ophthalmic disease in a child.
