About the department
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Greifswald ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in refractive eye surgery and cataract surgery!
The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment for diseases of the eye and its appendages. The department admits patients of all age categories, ranging from young children to the elderly. Both conservative and surgical treatment methods are available here. The department has one of the most active in-house Eye Banks in Germany. Every year, the bank's specialists receive from 600 to 800 corneas to check their quality and prepare them for transplant surgery. The department is equipped with advanced laser systems for treating retinal diseases and glaucoma. The department's doctors are also competent in cosmetic and aesthetic procedures. The top-class specialists with long clinical experience take care of the health of the patients' eyes. Doctors always devote enough time to personal communication with their patients and the selection of optimal treatment tactics, taking into account their individual needs and wishes. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Stahl.
The department has gained a reputation as one of the leading medical centers in Germany specializing in cataract surgery. Cataracts are one of the most common and dangerous eye diseases. In the early stages of the pathology, a patient may not even be aware of its presence since they do not experience any symptoms. Over time, the disease progresses, eventually causing complete blindness. With a timely visit to a doctor, a patient with cataracts is prescribed drug therapy with eye drops and pills. These measures are aimed at slowing down the progression of cataracts, and surgery (ultrasonic phacoemulsification) is necessary to completely eliminate them. During the surgical intervention, the department's doctors replace the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens. The operation is highly effective, providing restoration of visual acuity in 80-100% of cases. When performing the intervention, doctors use microsurgical techniques. The operation is performed under local drop anesthesia, and its duration does not exceed 10-15 minutes. Following the operation, patients receive recommendations for recovery and eye care.
Patients with glaucoma are also regularly admitted to the medical facility. This disease impairs the aqueous humor outflow from the eye in a patient, as a result of which intraocular pressure increases. Glaucoma progresses rapidly, so timely medical care guarantees a successful treatment outcome. Otherwise, the patient is threatened with irreversible blindness. The department's team of doctors offers all modern options for the fight against glaucoma, including anti-glaucoma drug therapy to normalize intraocular pressure, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. As of today, sparing laser techniques, in particular laser iridectomy, are the most popular. During this procedure, the physicians form additional pathways for the intraocular fluid outflow using non-contact techniques. This type of treatment is highly effective and does not require any anesthesia. It also takes a minimum amount of time and does not cause any pain. The department also offers the following surgical options for treating glaucoma: non-penetrating deep sclerectomy and trabeculectomy.
The department's team of doctors also specializes in the simultaneous treatment of cataracts and glaucoma. In such cases, ophthalmologists simultaneously perform ultrasonic phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. After surgical treatment, the patient gets rid of the cataracts once and for all, and the intraocular pressure and the aqueous humor outflow will also be normalized.
In addition, the department successfully treats congenital cataracts and glaucoma in children. Each child is provided with individualized therapy. Treatment methods for these ophthalmic pathologies in children are almost identical to those used in adults.
Refractive eye surgery (vision correction surgery) is an integral part of the department's clinical practice. Interventions from this group are performed for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Refractive eye surgery can effectively restore vision, eliminating the need to wear glasses and contact lenses. The department's ophthalmologists work on modern equipment with excimer and femtosecond lasers of the latest generation. The most requested procedures include LASIK, LASEK, and photorefractive keratectomy, as well as the implantation of monofocal, multifocal, toric, and phakic lenses. Prior to any laser vision correction, the department's specialists conduct comprehensive diagnostics of the patient's visual apparatus and, based on their results, select the optimal type of treatment for a visual impairment.
The department's main clinical focuses include:
- Treatment of retina and vitreous diseases
- Vitrectomy
