Treats disorders common in the elderly such as cataract and dry eyes.
Thanks to the advancement of devices and technologies, patients with cataract can restore their visual acuity in a short time by surgery. In most cases, a small incision of 3 to 4 mm is performed.
Many elderly people complain about symptoms of dry eye, which is caused by decreased lacrimation and abnormalities of tear contents. This condition is basically treated by instillation of eye-drops. If instillation therapy fails, surgical treatment such as lacrimal punctum plugging or closure is introduced.
In patients with systemic disorders, information from examination of blood vessels, etc. in the fundus may be very useful in diagnosis and follow-up. Thus, for these patients, we closely cooperate with other specialties.
In patients with retinal disorders, we positively consider surgical treatment if they are indicated for vitreous surgery.
