Department of Ophthalmology

Characteristics

The Department of Ophthalmology provides comprehensive care to patients with diseases involving anterior segments of the eye; in addition, it is involved in diagnosing and providing laser therapy in patients with retinal disease. Its pediatric outpatient clinic provides care to children with eye defects; performs examinations of pre-term babies, and specializes in the treatment of strabismus and blocked tear duct in the neonate. Glaucoma patients and those with retinal disease make up a major proportion of patients seen in this department.

The Department of Ophthalmology employs a number of highly experienced physicians specializing – in addition to their general practice in ophthalmology – in selected areas of their particular speciality. All are members of the Czech Society of Ophthalmology, with many of them being members of a variety of other professional societies.

All employees of the department make every effort to provide an individualized approach to the patient, to try to meet their requirements, and to provide care keeping the patient and their family satisfied. Compliance with the code of ethics (Patient´s Rights) is taken for granted. Attention is given to reasonable waiting times in clinics, and utmost emphasis is placed on a patient-friendly atmosphere.

Implementation of state-of-the-art surgical procedures makes it possible to perform most of the procedures on an outpatient basis.

Children awaiting surgery for strabismus are not hospitalized unless they are over 5 years of age; in these cases, the child is usually accompanied by one or both parents.
