About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Muenster offers the full range of conservative and surgical treatment of eye diseases on an inpatient and outpatient basis.

Today, the Eye Bank operating on the basis of the department is one of the most expert medical facilities with rich traditions.

Along with the clinical activities, great importance is attached to advanced training courses, professional retraining of the medical staff. The department carries out clinical examinations of such diseases as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy of prematurity, inflammatory processes and viral corneal infections, as well as studies the mechanisms of retinal dystrophy, methods of early detection of glaucoma and intralamellar keratoplasty.
