New eye day clinic in Neuruppin: The future of ophthalmology begins!

A new eye day clinic was opened in Neuruppin on January 2nd, which now also offers surgical procedures. The clinic is located in the immediate vicinity of the Neuruppin University Hospital in the “Alte Schwimmhalle” rehabilitation center. Jan Brands (36) and Sérgio Macedo (33) manage the facility, which is seen as a complement to existing offerings in the region.

The clinic's opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. An emergency consultation is offered Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The first patient in the new clinic was Karin Rast from Manker, whose eye pressure was measured; However, there is no acute need for action. The clinic can be reached by telephone at 03391/740 39 39 and offers comprehensive information on its website.

Planned branches and patient-friendly care

Two more branches of the clinic are already planned for the future. Another facility is scheduled to open in Wittstock at the beginning of April, while a second one in Pritzwalk will follow in the first half of the year. The aim of this expansion is to strengthen local medical care and save patients long journeys, as many patients are not allowed to drive themselves after treatment and rely on companions.

In addition to the clinic's general offerings, the eye clinic's website provides information on specific treatments such as glaucoma surgery. These include both drug-based and laser-based and surgical procedures to lower intraocular pressure and slow the progression of diseases. Techniques such as iStent implantation, ab interno and ab externo canaloplasty are part of the comprehensive treatment spectrum that aims to help patients individually and improve quality of life, as well as on augen-prignitz-ruppin.de is explained.
