OCHULISTIC

The Department of Ophthalmology at Salus offers the patient a complete health treatment, which includes diagnosis, therapeutic and surgical treatment, hospitalization and post-operative follow-up. Thanks to the specialized medical staff of Italian and Albanian Ophthalmologists who have been dealing with the treatment of specific eye pathologies for years, we manage to treat these pathologies as well as perform specialized ophthalmic surgery. Salus Hospital has state-of-the-art and avant-garde equipment and devices for the accurate diagnosis of pathologies in the field of ophthalmology, as well as for the performance of specific surgical interventions in ophthalmology.

Surgical and Outpatient Services:
Cataracts (curtain of the eye)
Pathology of the retina (retinal detachment from proliferative diabetic retinopathy, various intravitreal hemorrhages, peripheral retinal degenerations encountered in patients with myopia or macular edema (anti-VEGF, cortisone solutions are injected into the back chamber of the eye-intravitreal, vitrectomy)
Glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve from eye tension - intervention to reduce ocular tension - trabeculectomy, valve implants to reduce ocular tension)
Strabismus (eye deviation/distortion)
Macular degeneration, macular hole treated with microsurgery
At Salus, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT Scanner) is also performed, an innovative imaging technique that "takes" high-resolution pictures of retinal structures, providing information on thickness, anatomy and the relationship between the different layers of the retina.
Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive eye examination that uses a specific wavelength of light to scan the retina, dividing it into sections (just like any tomography or scanner). The computer then processes the images in high resolution.
The examination allows, in particular, to study in detail the macular area and the papilla of the optic nerve.
Scans are generally performed for all diseases affecting the retina, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, CRVO (central retinal vein occlusion), CRAO (central retinal artery occlusion), diabetic retinopathy.
