Ophthalmology in Germany

Ophthalmology treatment in Germany has an established tradition (which goes back centuries) of high quality and individual approach to each patient. In the XIX century German ophthalmologists made themselves known to the whole world by performing a successful transplantation of the eye cornea. Modern German ophthalmologists continue to search for the most effective methods of diagnostics and treatment, applying them in practice. Now in Germany it is possible to perform very precise and subtle eye surgeries with minimal traumatization of tissues, which allows in some cases to refuse anesthesia. The success of ophthalmology in Germany is largely due to the fact that doctors have high quality computer equipment and laser technology at their disposal.

One of the leading roles in world ophthalmology belongs to the Duke Karl Theodor Hospital in Munich, which bears the name of the outstanding ophthalmologist, Crown Duke Karl Theodor of Bavaria. The hospital has been in operation for more than a hundred years. It is currently headed by Prof. Klaus G. Riedel, a full member of the European ophthalmology societies.
