Ophthalmology

Gynecology

The Ophthalmology Department provides comprehensive ophthalmological care and performs surgical procedures.

Cataract surgery

Cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens, resulting in partial blindness or low vision. We make a small incision of approx. 2.4 mm in the cataract surgery. Patients are usually required to stay overnight, but they may go home on the day of surgery based on their conditions. Surgery on both eyes requires two separate hospital stays. Astigmatism correction lenses and multifocal intraocular lenses are also available.

Diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a disease with fundus hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, or glaucoma and may lead to loss of vision in a severe case. Treatment options include intravitreal injection or local injection and retinal photocoagulation, and a vitreous surgery is conducted when required for a severe case.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease narrowing the field of vision, resulting in loss of vision if highly progressed. Early detection and early treatment are essential for glaucoma. We usually administer eye drops, oral medication, laser treatment, or surgery. Continuous treatment is essential for glaucoma.

Epiretinal membrane, macular hole

Epiretinal membrane disorder is a disease in which an unnecessary membrane is formed at the center (macula) of the retina through which we usually see things and things are seen distorted in your field of vision or visual acuity lowers. Macular hole is a disease with a hole in macula and the center of visual field looks dark. Both diseases require vitreous surgeries.
Age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration is a disease in which an irregular blood vessel is formed in the macula in the center of the visual field and causes edema or hemorrhage with effusion. Things are seen distorted, or visual acuity lowers. It can be treated with intravitreal injection. After injection, periodic visits and treatment are indispensable.

Obstruction of the central and branch retinal veins

These are diseases in which retinal veins become blocked, causing hemorrhages in the fundus. Visual acuity suddenly lowers, or things are seen distorted. We treat it with intravitreal injection, sub-Tenon injection, or retinal laser treatment and may select a vitreous surgery if required.

Ectropion, Entropion, Ptosis, Pterygium

We perform surgery for ectropion (a condition where the eyelid turns outward), entropion (a condition where the eyelid turns inward), ptosis (a condition where the eyelid droops), and pterygium (a condition where a membrane grows from the white of the eye toward the iris).
