            Department of Ophthalmology is an integrated medical facility, educational and research ce

            the East Bohemia region. The clinic performs a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic pr
            including all surgical procedures. Specialized consulting rooms cover the issues of eye di
            children, complications of diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, neuro-oph

            electrophysiology, severe visual impairment. We provide superconsular services across the 
            ophthalmology.
