Common Acute Ophthalmological Conditions
CorfuMedica's specialized team of ophthalmologists is dedicated to delivering urgent and effective care for such critical eye health issues.
Acute Ophthalmological Conditions
Our ophthalmologists offer rapid evaluation and treatment for conjunctivitis, whether it's viral, bacterial, or allergic in nature. Treatment options may include prescription eye drops, ointments, or supportive measures to relieve symptoms and prevent spread of infection.
For patients with corneal abrasions or foreign bodies in the eye, our specialists provide immediate assessment and precise removal techniques to prevent further injury and promote healing. Topical medications and protective eye patches may be recommended for comfort and recovery.
Recognizing the urgency of acute angle-closure glaucoma, our ophthalmologists offer timely evaluation and management to lower intraocular pressure and relieve symptoms such as severe eye pain, headache, and blurred vision. Treatment may include medications, laser therapy, or surgical intervention to prevent vision loss.
Our team provides urgent care for corneal ulcers, conducting thorough examinations and initiating appropriate treatment with topical antibiotics, antifungal agents, or lubricating eye drops to promote healing and prevent complications such as vision loss or corneal scarring.
Immediate evaluation and intervention are essential for acute retinal detachment to prevent permanent vision loss. Our ophthalmologists perform detailed retinal examinations and offer surgical repair techniques such as pneumatic retinopexy or vitrectomy to reattach the retina and restore vision.
For patients with acute uveitis, our specialists provide prompt diagnosis and treatment to reduce inflammation and minimize ocular complications. Corticosteroid eye drops, oral medications, or immunosuppressive therapies may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Our ophthalmologists offer rapid assessment and management for corneal abrasions and ulcers, providing appropriate treatment with topical antibiotics, bandage contact lenses, or amniotic membrane transplantation to promote healing and prevent corneal scarring.
Recognizing the seriousness of acute orbital cellulitis, our team conducts urgent evaluations and initiates aggressive treatment with intravenous antibiotics, surgical drainage procedures, or orbital decompression surgery to prevent vision-threatening complications and systemic spread of infection.
Whether it's a corneal laceration, hyphema, or globe rupture, our ophthalmologists are equipped to handle a wide range of acute traumatic eye injuries with prompt evaluation, wound repair techniques, and follow-up care to optimize visual outcomes and prevent complications.
Immediate irrigation and decontamination are crucial for ocular chemical burns to minimize tissue damage and preserve vision. Our specialists offer prompt intervention with saline irrigation, topical medications, and protective measures to mitigate injury and promote ocular healing.
