Why should you visit the National Center for Surgery for an eye examination?
A novel technique for ophthalmological diagnostics that offers us a high-quality view of all the eye's structures is optical coherence tomography.
Structures such as the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve are responsible for good and clear vision. Timely diagnosis allows for early treatment of diseases such as:
- Diabetic retinopathy,
- Glaucoma,
- Age-related macular degeneration.
In the past, the likelihood of preserving vision was decreased due all of these conditions were frequently discovered at a late stage. Everything has changed today. The early detection of glaucoma is noteworthy.
Previously, it was believed that glaucoma progression could be assessed only by changes in visual fields and intraocular pressure control. Today, early glaucoma assessment is done by detecting changes in the ganglion cell layer at the fundus of the eye.
The National Center of Surgery follows contemporary European criteria and offers all patients the chance to have the Revo NX 130, the fastest optical coherence tomography scanner in the world, which is capable of 130,000 scans per second.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the following benefits:
- Time: the study only takes a few seconds;
- Safety: Since there is no ionizing radiation involved and the study is non-contact, several tests are entirely risk-free.
- Comfort: The patient does not need to carry out a number of intricate tasks; instead, they should focus on the green mark in front of his eyes.
It is advised to see an ophthalmologist for an evaluation in the following cases:
- Severe vision loss;
- Blurred vision;
- Pain in the eye area;
- The appearance of floating spots and dots before the eyes.
