The Laser Eye Microsurgery Center in Siedlce is a branch of the Warsaw facility founded by Prof. Jerzy Szaflik in 1996 – the largest non-public center in Poland using the most modern methods of diagnostics and treatment of eye diseases.
During the first visit, each of our patients undergoes a number of tests. These include, among others:
- computerized examination of vision defects
- measurement of corneal thickness
- microscopic assessment of the protective apparatus of the eye and the anterior segment of the eye, including the cornea and lens
- microscopic assessment of the fundus of the eye, taking into account the risk of ophthalmological diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), degeneration of the peripheral retina, retinal tears and detachments, in this examination we also take into account the assessment of the risk of systemic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes.
The Siedlce facility has specialist diagnostic equipment:
ultrasound machine with the possibility of performing the following examinations:
- ultrasound A used, among others, for measuring the length of the eyeball – an important test in monitoring the progression of myopia
- B ultrasound used, among others, in the diagnosis of vitreous body diseases, e.g. in vitreous detachment, floaters, in retinal diseases, e.g. tears, delaminations, detachments or in the assessment of the risk of cancer diseases, e.g. in the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma
OCT Triton device with the possibility of performing the following tests:
- OCT of the macula and angioOCT in the diagnosis of, among others, senile macular degeneration AMD
- OCT of the nerve disc II in the diagnosis of glaucoma
- OCT of the filtration angle in the diagnosis of narrow-angle glaucoma
- fundus photography useful, among others, in monitoring pigment changes on the fundus of the eye
In addition to the wide range of diagnostic possibilities, we also deal with laser treatment.
We perform the following procedures:
- YAG iridotomy in the risk of narrow-angle glaucoma
- YAG capsulotomy in secondary cataract
- photocoagulation of the retinal periphery in retinal diseases, e.g. tears
It is also possible to consult patients with Professor Jerzy Szaflik, whose advice is invaluable help in doubtful situations, when knowledge and many years of experience in the most complicated situations are needed to make the right decision for the patient.
