Ophthalmologists perform surgical procedures to treat diseases and disorders of the eyes. They specialize in ocular microsurgery, laser vision correction, and other operations. Today’s ophthalmologists successfully treat a wide range of eye diseases that were considered incurable until quite recently. The eye surgeons at GMS Hospital perform a wide range of operations, both elective and emergency, aimed at preserving and improving the patient’s vision and general health. In difficult cases, we partner with top medical institutions to ensure the best clinical outcomes for our patients.
If left untreated, many pathologies of the eyes can not only interfere with the patient’s normal life, they can lead to serious threats to their health. The expertise of an ophthalmologist is recommended if you experience the following:

Before your appointment with the ophthalmologist, it is recommended to have a laboratory blood test (CBC, or complete blood count) and if there is eye discharge, a bacterial test. After the doctor reviews your medical history, he or she will examine your eyes and prescribe the necessary diagnostic tests and procedures. The specific tests vary depending on the patient’s condition and diagnosis. The diagnostic procedures may include:
To identify the causes of the disease or disorder, additional procedures and analyses may be ordered such as more blood tests (for sugar, hormones, tumor markers), and CT and MRI scans. Based on the results of these tests and exams, an accurate diagnosis is made and the optimal course of therapy is prescribed.
At the first appointment, the ophthalmologist will ask about your medical issues and complaints, and inquire about your medical history. Then he or she will examine your eyes and perform a vision test. If necessary, additional diagnostic exams will be prescribed. After the doctor has fully diagnosed the disorder, a decision will be made about whether surgery is required, the type of operation and preoperative steps, and the various stages of treatment including postoperative recovery.
