RETINAL DISEASE TREATMENTS

So you can keep your eye on what matters

The retina is a wafer-thin, light-sensitive layer of nerve tissue on the back of the eye. It converts light stimuli into electrical signals and transmits them to the visual center in the brain. Sharp, colorful vision is only possible when the retina is intact.

Even small changes in the retina can noticeably impair vision – sometimes gradually, sometimes suddenly. This makes early diagnosis by a specialized ophthalmologist all the more important.

Typical warning signs of retinal diseases

• Sudden or gradual loss of visual acuity
• Distorted or blurred vision
• Flashes of light, shadows, or "black flakes" in the field of vision
• Temporary loss of vision
• Increased occurrence of floating spots (floating spots)

Such symptoms should always be taken seriously. An ophthalmological examination can determine whether a retinal disease is present – and how it can be best treated.

Which retinal diseases do we treat?

Our specialized care focuses on, among others:

• Diabetic retinopathy and macular edema
• Retinal hemorrhages due to high blood pressure (hypertensive retinopathy)
• Vascular occlusions and intraocular hemorrhages
• Retinal tears and retinal detachment
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Macular holes and epiretinal membranes
• Congenital retinal changes
• Retinal tumors and fluid accumulation (retinal edema)

Modern diagnostics and individualized therapies

Dr. Birgi Sönmezer has many years of experience in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of retinal diseases. Thanks to state-of-the-art imaging techniques (such as OCT and fluorescein angiography) as well as microsurgical techniques, we develop individualized treatment plans – precisely tailored to your diagnosis and your life situation.
