Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2013, Vol 26, Issue 12

Abstract

The team of the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Medical Center of Postgraduate Education (MCPE) presents the achievements and technological progress in diagnosing and treatment of the ophthalmic disorders, focusing on the most prevalent diseases and popular therapeutic areas. It is worth mentioning that many of the described procedures are performed in the Ophthalmology Clinic of the MCPE; the department has various and technologically advanced diagnostic tools, high class surgical equipment for microsurgery procedures in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, devices for laser therapy and oculoplastic surgery. Age-related macular degeneration, diabetic maculopathy and retinpathy and glaucoma are the predominant cause of irreversible blindness in people over 50 in the developed countries. Because of its alarming statistics, these diseases are taking the leading position as a subject of clinical trials in ophthalmology in terms of restraining the progression and, first of all, preventing the onset. Refractive surgery is a rapidly developing branch of ophthalmology. Currently used techniques allow for correction of even a very high refractive errors. Improvements introduced each year allow further expanding of indications for such treatment; also increase the predictability and safety of surgery.
