How the eye examination at the Ophthalmologist is performed and what to focus on

16. 10. 2024
The eye is undoubtedly one of the most complex biological structures in our body, and therefore its health should not be taken lightly. Think of the eye as a small but complex organ that allows us to perceive the world in its full beauty and color. More than 80% of all information we receive from the surrounding world comes precisely through sight. And the loss or damage of visual functions can significantly affect our standard of living.

Protect your eyesight

An ophthalmologist is a vision specialist specializing in optics and, in many cases, eye surgery. His education and experience put him at a level that allows him to diagnose and treat eye conditions that other professionals might miss. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists and opticians not only in terms of education, but also in treatment and diagnostic options.

Prevention is the key to protecting your vision

Protecting your eyesight should be part of everyday life. Preventive measures can include activities and habits to help keep your eyes healthy. For example, regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Did you know that macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss in the elderly? This degeneration can be slowed down or even stopped with a healthy lifestyle.

A balanced diet is another key factor in preventing eye diseases. Foods rich in vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, are essential for eye health. For example, carrots, spinach, avocado or fish such as salmon are great sources of these nutrients.

Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory; they play a vital role in protecting the eyes from harmful UV radiation. UV radiation can cause several eye problems, including cataracts or macular degeneration. Quality sunglasses with a UV filter are therefore a must for everyday outdoor activities.

Regular check-ups and premium care at AGEL Plus

Despite all preventive measures, it is important to visit an ophthalmologist regularly. If you have any vision problems, the AGEL Plus program at AGEL polyclinics will ensure a quick and easy visit to a specialist. Ophthalmologists here are experienced experts in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of eye diseases, such as inflammation, infection, strabismus, cataracts and others.

Each eye examination within the AGEL Plus program is comprehensive and detailed. One of the important examinations is the measurement of intraocular pressure, which is key to detecting increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma (green cloud). Glaucoma is a serious disease that the patient often does not even know about until it is too late.
