Eye diseases
Keywords:At the clinical units for eye diseases, we diagnose and treat eye diseases and determine and correct refractive errors. We treat patients of all ages from newborn premature babies to senior citizens.
We provide outpatient services in different treatment and examination units in eye diseases (ophthalmology), as well as on three inpatient wards, where we treat patients who have undergone surgical or other procedures. Our surgical activity is mainly ambulatory surgery, where you are usually discharged on the day of your procedure. We treat rare eye diseases centrally from all over Finland.
Ophthalmological emergencies
Emergency services for ophthalmological diseases in the Helsinki University Hospital Area are arranged at the Oak Hospital. As emergencies, we treat, for example, penetrating eye injuries, certain inflammations of the eye, and various visual disturbances.
As a rule, a referral is required for ophthalmic emergency care. Before referring a patient, the physician is advised to consult our physician on duty. A referral is not required for actual emergencies, such as penetrating eye injuries.
