OPHTHALMOLOGY IN SWITZERLAND

With the support of the Genolier Clinic, 13 Swiss Visio ophthalmological centers were opened in Switzerland. Hospitals are equipped with modern devices for measuring the field of view and keratometers for determining the radius of curvature of the cornea. All doctors are engaged in research work and regularly publish scientific articles in specialized journals.

In Geneva, there is the Hirslanden Clinique des Grangettes, which is part of a large chain of private Hirslanden clinics. The Department of Ophthalmic Surgery performs laser vision correction, corneal transplantation, removal of tumors and foreign bodies, and treatment of other pathologies.

Together with Australian colleagues, ophthalmologists at the University Hospital of Zurich have developed video glasses for measuring the angles of strabismus. With the help of the device, a simple and quick examination of patients with this disease is possible.

The ophthalmological departments of Swiss clinics are equipped with modern equipment for fast and high-quality examinations. Hospitals carry out routine and emergency diagnostics.

Check-up includes ophthalmoscopy to study the structures of the fundus. Ultrasound examinations are also carried out.

According to the results of the diagnosis, the team of doctors prescribes the appropriate therapy. The program is compiled individually for each patient; the cost is determined individually after consultation with a specialist.

Cataract treatment in Switzerland is carried out using a YAG laser. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis, painless. During the procedure, intraocular pressure stabilizes.
After removal of the cataract, the lens is replaced with the implantation of a multifocal lens. In contrast to the use of monofocal lenses, there is no need for glasses and contact lenses, as the patient sees well at different distances. The implant is placed through an incision less than 2.5 mm long, which is self-tight without suture.

Treatment of glaucoma in Switzerland begins with the use of drugs that reduce the pressure inside the eye.
Glaucoma surgery is performed using low-traumatic laser technologies that are more effective than traditional surgical interventions.

Laser vision correction in Switzerland is performed by highly qualified surgeons, world experts in the field of ophthalmic surgery. At the same time, the structure of the cornea is preserved, the result is stable and long-term. There are also no wounds, so recovery takes 1-2 days.

Correction of strabismus is carried out with the help of specialized glasses and lenses, however, in some cases, the defect is corrected surgically. Surgical intervention lasts an average of no more than an hour, the patient returns to his usual way of life within a week. The operation is performed on the surface of the eye, which minimizes the risk of infection.

For the treatment of diseases of the retina and vitreous body, Swiss ophthalmologists perform vitrectomy. Surgeons use microsurgical instruments, due to which the rehabilitation period is significantly reduced, the risk of injury and bleeding is reduced.

Private clinics in Zurich and Geneva are ISO certified, which confirms their compliance with high standards of medical care. Some of them are members of the prestigious association Swiss Leading Hospitals.
