Eye problems can arise at any time and sometimes with little warning. They can range from minor discomforts to serious conditions that can threaten your vision.
We offer a variety of tests to evaluate different eye conditions. These may include visual acuity tests, visual field tests, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and more.
Depending on the diagnosis, various medical and surgical treatment options may be proposed for common eye problems. We offer treatments for cataracts, eyelid surgeries, and more.
Ophthalmology has seen rapid advancements in surgical techniques. Laser eye surgery, which is used to correct refractive issues such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, is a highlight.
Ophthalmology centers in Murcia understand the importance of specialized care for specific conditions like glaucoma, corneal diseases, and diabetic retinopathy.
Children are not just small adults; their eye care needs are unique and require a specialized approach.
In the field of ophthalmology, several common surgical interventions are performed to treat various eye conditions.
Cataract surgery
This is one of the most common eye surgeries and is performed to remove cataracts from the eye. Cataracts are a clouding of the eye’s lens that can cause blurred vision and decreased vision.
Refractive surgery
This procedure is used to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The most common techniques used in this surgery include LASIK, LASEK, and PRK.
Glaucoma surgery
Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to the optic nerve due to elevated eye pressure. Glaucoma surgery is performed to reduce this pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Retinal detachment
This is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Surgery to repair a retinal detachment involves the use of laser or cryotherapy to seal the tears or holes in the retina.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
This surgery is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids. It is commonly done for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be necessary to treat conditions such as ptosis (drooping eyelid) or entropion (inverted eyelid).
Strabismus surgery
Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and point in different directions. Strabismus surgery is performed to correct this alignment and improve binocular vision.
