Our ophthalmology

We provide for clear sight in the long view.

Our eyes gather more information and impressions than any other sensory organ. Our eyes provide maximum performance for good vision day by day. Our team at the Leipzig eye and laser centre would like to assist you in preserving this performance for as long as possible or to help restore it. As we are equipped with the technical resources and the required expertise, we usually are able to help you very quickly.

Floaters/ Mouches volantes

Macula lutea — the Latin term for “yellow spot” — is the retinal region most sensitive to light and therefore the point of highest acuity. This also means that the slightest changes in this region will already have a major impact on the visual acuity.


Oculoplastic surgery

The eyelids’ features - their position, contour and skin condition — fundamentally contribute to the facial expression. Each surgical procedure in this area is made with regard to the respective function and in consideration of the uppermost aesthetical requirements. 


Cataracts

A cataract is the opafication of the natural lens. The age-related cataract is the most common type of cataracts. Some cataracts are inherent or the consequence of traumas, glaucomas, medication and generalized diseases, but these types are much less common.


Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the hypernym for a heterogenous group of eye diseases which will lead to a characteristic impairment of the cranial nerve and limitation of the visual field if they remain untreated. An elevated intraocular pressure is usually the reason for glaucomas. The intraocluar pressure of healthy eyes normally ranges between 7 and 21 mmHg.

Diabetes mellitus & retinal vein obstruction

The retinal alterations caused by both diseases affect the central retina (the macula) and its periphery. The macular edema caused by diabetes mellitus or retinal vein obstruction results in increasingly declining visual acuity and distorted vision. Both laser and injections (Lucentis, Eylea, Ozurdex, Iluvien) are important treatment methods.


Macular degeneration (AMD)

Macula lutea — the Latin term for “yellow spot” — is the retinal region most sensitive to light and therefore the point of highest acuity. This also means that the slightest changes in this region will already have a major impact on the visual acuity.


Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disorder. However, the progression can be stopped by corneal UV crosslinking. We are very experienced in this treatment as we have been treating keratoconi for years.


Ophthalmopaediatrics

Every child with a squint or light and dark adaptation disorder should undergo an ophthalmologic check-up. As a part of this important orthoptic special diagnostics, the visual acuity and the stereoscopic vision will be checked and the child’s glasses adjusted, if necessary. Adults with diplopia caused by ophthalmoparesis can also profit from the diagnostics and therapeutic treatment in vision therapy. The disorders can be treated successfully through special training or special glasses custom-tailored for each individual patient.
