Glaucoma is a condition in which the nerve fibers of the optic nerve are damaged. This is often caused by excessive intraocular pressure, which is usually the result of poor blood circulation in the eye.

Reduced visual performance, visual field defects or weaker contrast vision are typical consequences in most cases.

For most people, the lens in their eyes becomes cloudy as they age. Up to a certain point, this is not a cause for concern, but rather normal and tolerable. However, once the clouding reaches a certain point, vision noticeably deteriorates.

This can usually only be improved through surgery, ie replacing the clouded lens. Cataracts are therefore more of a sign of aging.

A special place in our spectrum is the diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). From early diagnosis to short-term intravitreal therapy here in our house to visual rehabilitation with magnifying visual aids, we ensure the best possible preservation of your vision.

Diabetic retinopathy is a secondary disease of diabetes mellitus (diabetes). In those affected, the high blood sugar levels have damaged the retina over the years, so that vision deteriorates and can even lead to blindness if inadequate treatment is not provided. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of blindness in Germany. Diabetics should have their eyes examined regularly so that retinal damage can be detected early and the treating diabetologist can be given information about vascular damage in the body.

Redness in the eye can have many causes. Whether it is inflammation, a foreign body in the cornea or conjunctiva, eye involvement in a rheumatic disease or infection. The spectrum ranges from a slight restriction of vision to the threat of loss of the eye. We take even these sometimes inconspicuous symptoms very seriously and we try to help you as best as we can.

There are many causes of dry eyes and the symptoms can vary greatly. The spectrum ranges from harmless symptoms such as a slight, sporadic foreign body sensation to severe pain that limits your quality of life. Contact us and we will help you.

This method of laser treatment is a particularly gentle and low-risk form of therapy for open-angle glaucoma. Laser pulses are emitted in the chamber angle of the eye, which reduce the outflow resistance and thus lead to a reduction in the intraocular pressure. A particular advantage of this procedure is its repeatability, as no significant damage occurs.

Especially in people with poor vision, the chamber angle in the eye (drainage of the fluid that is constantly produced in the eye) is too narrow. If the pupil dilates (e.g. in the dark), the width of the chamber angle can be reduced even further, until it is completely closed and no more water can drain away.

This is an absolute emergency that must be treated immediately to prevent blindness.

If a narrow chamber angle is detected during the regular examination, this can be prevented by using the YAG laser to create a small opening in the iris in advance, through which the aqueous humor can always drain away.

During cyclophotocoagulation, the so-called ciliary body, in which the fluid in the eye is produced, is cauterized with a laser beam. This reduces the production of water in the eye and lowers the eye pressure. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia by placing the laser probe on the eye. Several areas are applied per operation. The laser beam then reaches its target location, the ciliary body, through the closed eye wall. The operation takes a few minutes.

Laser coagulation of the retina is a therapeutic procedure that can be used to treat various retinal diseases. The laser effects can close pathologically altered areas of the retina, leaky blood vessels or retinal holes.

Laser coagulation can therefore prevent the progression of various retinal diseases.

During cataract surgery, the natural, clouded lens is removed, but the lens capsule, which is the suspension apparatus of the lens, is left in place.

Over time, this lens capsule becomes cloudy again, which leads to a deterioration in vision and sensitivity to glare.

The YAG laser creates an opening in the middle of the posterior capsule through which you can see clearly again. Usually, only one treatment is necessary.

A cataract is the clouding of the originally clear lens of the eye, usually as we age. This results in a significant reduction in vision. If left untreated, the condition or clouding usually continues to worsen.

If you have been diagnosed with an advanced form of cataract, in most cases only cataract surgery will help.

This is the most commonly performed operation in Germany, is largely safe and low-risk for you and leads to a significant improvement in vision. By inserting an artificial lens that is precisely tailored to you, we try to enable and maintain the best possible result for you.

The nanolaser is the latest development in the field of cataract surgery to remove the natural lens of the eye. Using ultra-short laser pulses in the nanosecond range, the natural lens can be liquefied and sucked out without thermal stress on the eye.

Laser lens surgery achieves a high level of precision and safety through the use of the nanolaser. The nanolaser offers a great advantage in terms of hygiene safety through the use of disposable probes.

Intravitreal surgical drug administration (IVOM) is an additional treatment option for various diseases affecting the interior of the eye.

Of particular note here is age-associated maculopathy (AMD), but changes caused by diabetes, inflammation or vascular occlusions are also included.

In this case, coordinated medications are injected into your eye at certain intervals (usually monthly, later longer intervals until the treatment is completed) until a stabilization or improvement of vision is achieved.

IVOMs have been carried out successfully in our practice for many years.

An iStent is one millimeter long, 0.33 millimeters high and weighs 60 micrograms. In MIGS, the iStent is used to create a connection between the anterior chamber of the eye (between the cornea and pupil) and the natural drainage path of the aqueous humor, the so-called Schlemm's canal. After the first clinical experiences were gained by inserting iStents during cataract surgery, the small implants are now also inserted independently of other interventions using an injector.

Interventions in the area of the eyelids and the adjacent facial skin include medical and cosmetic operations. On the one hand, there are illnesses such as misalignments, inflammations or benign and malignant tumors that require treatment. On the other hand, aesthetically disturbing changes to the eyelids are reasons for surgical treatment. For larger interventions, we work closely with selected eyelid specialists to whom we refer patients if necessary.
