Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is Prof. Findl’s speciality. He is one of Austria’s most experienced eye surgeons and a worldwide renowned expert in the field of cataracts. Surgery is performed in a day care setting using only anesthetic eye drops.
Macular Pucker Surgery
During surgery, the vitreous is removed and the thin epiretinal membrane is pulled off gently. In most cases, Prof. Findl performs this type of vitreo-retinal surgery under local anasthesia.
Retinal Detachment Surgery
Retinal detachments may be caused by retinal tears. Immediate surgical care, most commonly under local anesthesia, is necessary. The liquefied vitreous is removed and replaced by a gas bubble after laser has been applied.
Macular Hole Surgery
The vitreous is removed and a thin membrane is gently pulled off the retina. Then a gas bubble is inserted to close the hole. Prof. Findl usually performs vitrectomy under local anesthesia.
