Ophthalmology

The Ophthalmology Department's main activity is consultations.

The consultation examination consists of eye tests to detect and correct refractive anomalies and exclude eye disease by biomicroscopic observation (slit lamp) of the anterior segment of the eye (conjunctiva, cornea, iris, crystalline lens), fundus examination, systematic measurement of eye pressure in patients over 40, and analysis of eye movements and oculomotor balance. Where necessary, further investigations are carried out.

Procedures include intravitreal injections (age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, etc.), strabismus, palpebral anomalies, lacrimal pathways (external or endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy), orbital pathologies, corneal transplants, glaucoma, vitrectomies and the management of retinal detachments.

EMW's ophthalmology department has a wide range of complementary exploration equipment:

• Functional explorations: visual field, color vision tests

• Exploration of the cornea and anterior surface: corneal topographers, specular, biometer.

• Retinal explorations: fundus, microscope.

The medical team also provides consultations concerning refractive disorders (prescription of glasses).

The department's orthoptists carry out orthoptic assessments and visual rehabilitation activities. Functional explorations are performed by orthoptists and interpreted by physicians: visual fields, electroretinograms (ERG), visual evoked potentials (VEP), color vision tests, angiographies and optical coherence tomographies (OCT).
