The Eye Clinic is one of the hospital's largest outpatient departments with approximately 45,000 visits per year. The Eye Clinic is a pleasant workplace with a large patient flow. We are a great team consisting of nurses, orthoptists, opticians, nursing assistants, and ophthalmologists.
Patients of all ages from 0 to 100 years come to us with various eye care needs. We receive patients with acute illnesses at our emergency clinic, patients requiring temporary treatment, and patients with various chronic eye diseases.
