Eye health: Where to get a comprehensive and innovative service

The Galeno Group’s new Comprehensive Ophthalmology Service in Trinidad has begun providing services in the care centers that make up the Trinidad Sanatoriums network. This makes it easy Quick consultation between other specialties related to eye diseases as well as Highly complex patient care thanks to its advanced technologies.

The The tasks of preventing eye diseases and early detection They are also primary targets of this new service, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The entity appreciates that There are 19 million children under the age of 15 who have a visual impairment in the world. It was considered 80% of blindness cases can be treated or prevented Through regular examinations.

“With controls up to preschool age, what is needed is to prevent amblyopia, which is a decrease in visual acuity without any justifiable organic injury. The WHO report adds that it can be caused by congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, refractive errors in various eyes, ocular abnormalities, ptosis of the upper eyelid, strabismus, loss of corneal transparency, retinopathy of prematurity, and others.

This situation It can be effectively treated thanks to advances in specialization in recent years. Diagnosis and treatment are constantly updated along with technological developments. The most significant progress in recent years Placing trifocal lenses inside the eyeball that allow the glasses to be removed permanently. Dr. Alberto Brochard (MN 88334) in charge of the ophthalmology team at Sanatorio Trinidad Palermo, said that ophthalmology in Argentina is at the forefront along with other countries in the world and its specialists are recognized for their diagnoses and treatments.

in this line, The new comprehensive ophthalmology service in Trinidad consists of a multidisciplinary team of ophthalmologists and surgeons With extensive experience in different subspecialties such as general ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology, retina, glaucoma, uveitis, plastic and tear ducts, diagnostic imaging, oncology, among others. thus, The patient will be able to perform everything necessary in the same place for his diseases, from consultations, diagnoses, treatments and surgeries.

In the first stage, The service will work with comprehensive care in the sanatoriums of Trinidad Palermo, Trinidad Miter, Trinidad Ramos Mejia and Trinidad San Isidro., to be fully integral to the second stage. The medical teams for the new service are coordinated by Dr.. Domingo Croisette. Meanwhile, at the Trinidad Palermo Sanatorium, he was Dr. Alberto Brochard and your team in Trinidad, San Isidro, and Dr.. Horacio de Tulio The team in Trinidad Ramos Mejia, and Dr. Diego Estrein And the team and at the Trinidad Miter Sanatorium, the Dr. Juan Cassani And the team.

Along the same lines, The new service incorporated advanced technology Such as topographers, mirror microscopes, ultrasound scanners, tachometers (measure the thickness of the cornea), biometers, computerized visual field, and optical tomography. Among the new equipment:

• Angio-Oct Huvitz (optical tomography) 3D scan that allows high-resolution evaluation of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.

• Tomey Em specular microscope that provides images of the corneal endothelium through the specular optical principle, and analyzes automatically and manually.

• Laser SLT (selective laser trabeculoplasty) for non-surgical surgery to stimulate the generation of healthy cells of the trabecular network to regulate intraocular pressure.

• Lenstar biometer, which provides average values ​​in one quick measurement, to obtain values ​​of ocular stator, keratometry, pupillary diameter, axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness (basic data for obtaining intraocular lens values ​​in cataracts surgery). and refractive surgery).

• State-of-the-art Revo-smart vitrectomy for cataract and retinal surgery.

• Haag-Streit Hi-r900 universal microscope for all ophthalmic surgeries.

Along the same lines, It has mobile and central operating rooms, which will allow to perform a wide range of surgical interventions. How corneal transplantKeratoconus surgeries, intravitreal antiangiogenic applications, vitrectomy, trabeculectomy, SLT and argon laser therapy, cataracts, blepharoplasty, refraction, high myopia and/or astigmatism, intraocular lens implants, strabismus in children and adults , conjunctival angioplasty, ocular excision, blepharoplasty and lacrimal ducts and dacryocystorhinostomy, among others.

In this way, Galeno Group integrates the latest medical services, technology and equipment.
