We offer our patients suffering from corneal diseases an examination at our specialised corneal disease examination centre. This examination centre boasts the unique PENTACAM device that enables early diagnosis of keratoconus (the progressive thinning and deviation of the cornea) as well as other ailments affecting the cornea including post-traumatic conditions.
The consultant is Dr. Petr Novák, who is involved with this specialised segment of ophthalmology as part of his clinical practice. As such it is possible to follow up onto other specialised examinations as well as operative solutions including the transplantation of the cornea.
The initial examination at our specialised corneal disease centre takes 1.5 to 2 hours and it is entirely painless. It includes complete anamnesis of the patient’s eyesight, establishing the exact dioptre error, detailed examination of the frontal segment of the eye, measuring of the intraocular pressure as well as the tear test. Examination of the rear segment of the eye follows. To do this, it is essential to dilate the pupils using special eye drops.
