Ophthalmology

When treating diseases in the neurosurgical and neurological sphere, the ophthalmology is a specialty without which the best results can not be obtained. Below you can find part of the diagnoses and therapeutic procedures we have approached:

Ophthalmology

Cataract

Cataract is the opacification of the lens. The crystalline lens is a structure inside the eye that allows seeing through its natural transparency. When it loses its transparency it doesn’t allow anymore the clear view of things, similarly to a dirty window put in front of the eyes.

Recurrent corneal erosions

Recurrent corneal erosions are recurrent spontaneous attacks involving the corneal epithelium (the most superficial part of the cornea). The epithelium loses his normal adherence causing periodical abrasions.

Pterygium

Is an elastotic degeneration of the conjunctiva, which grows abnormally on the surface of the cornea, having a triangular shape. This leads to corneal deformity and ocular symptoms.

Fuchs endothelial dystrophy

Fuchs endothelial dystrophy is the most common form of posterior corneal dystrophy in people over 50.It appears sporadically, most commonly, but can also be genetically inherited.It is a dystrophy that affects both eyes and has a slow progression.
