Ophthalmology

EMC Hospital's ophthalmologists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring various diseases and disorders of the eye and visual system. In addition to addressing vision problems, ophthalmologists also play a crucial role in the early detection of eye diseases that can develop without symptoms and can lead to permanent vision loss if not properly treated.

Before determining a treatment plan, EMC Hospital's Ophthalmologists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation through a medical interview, visual acuity examination, eye pressure examination, anterior and posterior segment examination, and supporting examinations such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), fundus photography, perimetry, corneal topography, eye ultrasound, and other examinations as needed. These examination results help the doctor establish an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate therapy.

At EMC Hospital, ophthalmologists treat a variety of conditions, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, dry eyes, eye infections, eye allergies, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal disorders, corneal abnormalities, red eyes, blurred vision, floaters, and various vision disorders in both children and adults. They also evaluate the eye health of patients with diabetes, hypertension, and other systemic diseases that can affect vision.

EMC Hospital's ophthalmology services include eye consultations, routine eye examinations, glaucoma and retinal screenings, medical eye disease management, laser eye procedures as indicated, and eye surgeries such as cataract surgery and other eye surgical procedures. Treatment is provided with a comprehensive approach to maintaining vision and quality of life for patients.

This service is supported by modern diagnostic facilities and the latest ophthalmology technology, as well as collaboration with specialists in internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, rehabilitation medicine, and other specialists when needed. With a multidisciplinary approach, EMC Hospital is committed to providing accurate, safe, and patient-centered eye health services.

Consult an EMC Hospital Ophthalmologist immediately if you experience blurred vision, red eyes, eye pain, excessive glare, watery eyes, double vision, flashes of light or floating spots, sudden vision loss, or a family history of diabetes, hypertension, or eye disease. Early examination and treatment can help prevent complications, maintain vision quality, and maintain optimal eye health throughout life.
