Our center specializes in eye surgery, general ophthalmology. Below are some of the eye diseases:
– Glaucoma
CHRONIC OPEN ANGLE GLAUCOMAIt is a syndrome associating:
Ocular hypertensionOptic nerve damageVisual field impairment.
ACUTE ANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMAIt is a blockage of the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, resulting in very high eye pressure, accompanied by eye pain, headache and nausea.
Surgical treatment of glaucomaSurgical treatment is indicated when treatment with topical or oral medication is insufficient. The surgeon performs an opening of the iris, thanks to the Yag Laser, in order to facilitate the circulation of the aqueous humorIt is a painless technique, under local anesthesia, by drops.Trabeculectomy: In case of persistence of ocular hypertonia, an opening of a scleral flap, in order to facilitate the evacuation of the aqueous humor outside the eye, is carried out, under local anesthesia
CHRONIC GLAUCOMA
Argon laser or YAG SLT laser trabeculoplastyLocal anesthesiaAmbulatoryRealization of micro-perforations with Laser, at the level of the trabecular meshwork, in order to facilitate the evacuation of the aqueous humor
Deep sclerotomyLocal anesthesiaOutpatient or day hospitalizationRealization of a superficial lamellar dissection allowing a slow and continuous evacuation of the intraocular aqueous humor.
TrabeculectomyLocal anesthesiaAmbulatoryRealization of a transfixing scleral flap, allowing the release of the aqueous humor, outside the eye, under the conjunctiva.
