Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the medical specialty dealing with diseases of the eye. The general ophthalmologic screening test consists primarily of diagnosing and treating visual acuity problems, but we also examine the health of the eye during that test.

Ophthalmology

In what cases should you turn to an ophthalmologist?

  • Inflammatory diseases of the eyelid (stye, allergic inflammation)
  • Dry eye, infections of various origins (conjunctivitis, iritis, etc.)

Exam of the frontmost channels of the eye using a triple mirror RMC Ophthalmologic screening program: Our Ophthalmologist examines eye problems and history. The exam continues with a precise determination of visual acuity, which takes place with computerized determination of refraction followed by subjective tests. In addition to determining distance and near visual acuity, we also pay attention to determining the necessary correction for "monitor-distance”. Following this, the eye surface and the retina are examined.

  • I saw Dr Péter Kóthy, who examined my two children. He was amazingly thorough, kind and patient. Before beginning the examinations, he dissolved their fear and tension with incredible humor and good sense. He treated my children as partners throughout, while explaining everything to me thoroughly and clearly. It was a positive experience. Thank you very much!

  • Dr. Péter Kóthy is one of the most insane doctors I have ever been to. I've been to a few specialist clinics, including several private clinics, but here I really got the maximum sense that he had time, answered the most basic questions, was helpful, attentive, and didn't rush me. I arrived at the surgery in a complete panic and left with maximum calm. Thank you very much!

  • For the first time in several years, I felt that I was really listened to during an eye examination. She took her time and gave me reassuring answers to all my questions. I was particularly pleased that I didn't feel rushed.
