About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Ulm offers the full range of services in this field. It provides diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the anterior (eyelids, cornea, lens) and posterior (retina, choroid, optic nerve head) eye segment, pathologies of the appendages of the eyes. The department has advanced treatment methods, which provide effective results and eliminate vision problems. Of particular interest is corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) on the basis of the in-house Eye Bank. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Gerhard Lang.

The department is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and makes every effort to maintain high quality medical care.

Most often, pediatric ophthalmologists have to deal with pathologies, such as strabismus (all forms, including heterophoria), amblyopia, eyeball diseases, neurological diseases with eye lesion, and nystagmus. Children are treated by highly competent doctors, who have in their arsenal all the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
