Natural aging skin and eyelids
The natural aging of the skin is a normal and in no way pathological process. The older we get, the drier and thinner the skin becomes. Especially around the mouth and eyes wrinkles form increasingly. Skin aging develops individually. Diseases or massive weight loss can accelerate the skin changes. The visible aging process is based on the age-related loss of elasticity of the...
Read moreEyelid lift and correction of excess skin
The surgical procedure on the upper eyelid "drooping eyelid" includes removal of the excess skin adapted to your individual needs. Depending on the findings, additional removal of the protruding fatty tissue and correction of the eyelid furrow height may be necessary. Often, a tightening of the ring-shaped muscle around the eye is also useful in order to achieve a long-term result. If necessary,...
Read moreRetinal detachment due to tears
Causes of a tear-related retinal detachment can be caused by an injury. The retinal injury can also be partial. This is the most common form of retinal detachment.
Read moreTrain-induced retinal detachment
In traction-induced retinal detachment, vitreous detaches from the retina partially or completely. This can cause a tear in the retina. The tear can in turn cause retinal detachment.
Read moreExudative retinal detachment
In this case, there is an accumulation of fluid between the retina and choroid. The fluid originates from the vessels of the choroid.
Read moreStandard lenses (cataract correction)
Standard lenses are artificial lenses made of flexible material. They are a monofocal lens. Due to the single focal point, patients can opt for sharp near or distance vision. The costs are fully covered by health insurance.
Read moreToric lenses (cataract correction)
Toric lenses can correct distortions caused by astigmatism. As a rule, they reduce the distortion so that driving without a visual aid becomes possible. Toric lenses are also available multifocal.
Read moreAspherical lenses (cataract correction)
Aspherical lenses compensate for a certain aberration and improve contrast vision - especially at twilight. They are often combined with a UV and blue light filter.
Read moreMultifocal lenses (cataract correction)
Multifocal lenses have multiple focal points. They allow largely sharp vision at different distances.
Read moreEarly detection and eye control in children
Routine eye examination of newborns and children is therefore recommended. As early as 18 months of age, any vision problems can be detected in order to identify defects such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (astigmatism, astigmatism) and treat them at an early stage. An eye examination by an ophthalmologist is recommended at the latest at 30 to 42 months of age.
