Assessment of eye movement disorders with cover test, harms wall, synoptophore, stereo tests and video-based eye tracking.

This consultation hour includes shield diagnosis and treatment of strabismus. Even with persistent amblyopia we do not give up.

We perform strabismus surgery with pre- and post-operative examinations. In addition to the common strabismus operations, we offer operations on the oblique eye muscles, transposition operations, botox injections into eye muscles and gaze shifting operations for eye tremor (nystagmus).

The main focus of this consultation is the assessment and therapy of eye movement disorders, which have their origin in a disease of the eye muscles, nerves or brain. Diseases of the optic nerve and the pupils are also assessed in this consultation hour and the minimum medical requirements for fitness to drive are examined.

In this consultation we see premature babies as well as infants and toddlers with visual developmental deficits of ocular or central origin. We also care for children in close cooperation with various subspecialists in the area of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Special emphasis is placed on the management of infantile cataracts (cataracts).

This consultation is mostly purely conservative. Some of the surgical interventions are performed by our eyelid surgeons. The surgical treatment of deep-set orbital pathologies is carried out in close cooperation with doctors from the Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic or the Neurosurgery Department.

During this consultation, optical measures are taken to make better use of the reduced visual potential. Further training is then carried out by an external low vision therapist.

 A rational and efficient diagnosis and treatment of complex visual and perceptual disorders requires an approach from various medical disciplines. At our center, patients are therefore assessed and treated on an interdisciplinary basis from a neurological, neuropsychological and orthoptic/ophthalmological perspective.
