Speciality Fields and Services

Cataract

With age, the crystalline lens of the eye loses its transparency. This cloudiness is called a cataract. Cataract surgery is extremely beneficial to a patient with hard cataract. We assess whether a patient might benefit from cataract surgery and propose the most suitable lens with the best refractive result. You are examined by the eye surgeon before and after the surgery. First rate equipment and years of experience ensure the best possible outcome.

Glaucoma

Our specialists Pasi Allinen, Mika Harju and Nina Lindbohm for years have an extensive knowledge of glaucoma research and treatment methods. We offer all traditionaland state-of-the-art glaucoma treatments and have the latest diagnostic and treatment equipment available. We examine carefully, evaluate and finally advise on the best course of action. We treat every patient individually and professionally

Cornea

Our cornea team comprises of Samy Mrena and Ilpo Tuisku. Both have years of experience treating cornea patients. After performing thousands of corneal and refractive procedures, including laser operations, corneal transplants and corrective operations, we can offer a wide variety of the latest corneal and refractive treatments including high-end diagnostic services including presbyopic treatments.

Laser Treatments

If you want to be less dependent or even get rid of your spectacles, to enjoy your hobby or interest more freely, visit us at the Valo Eye Hospital, for a free consultation on the best possible refractive solution for you. Our laser suite comprises of the Zeiss Visumax femtolaser and the Bausch + Lomb Technolas excimer-laser. We offer all the premier laser treatments including ReLEx SMILE, femtolasik and the Supracor presbyopia treatment.

Clear Lens Extraction

Presbyopia is long-sightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens of the eye, occurring typically after a person has turned 40 years old. Around the age of 50, the lens has typically lost its accommodative properties and so a middle aged person suffering from presbyopia is best suited for clear lens extraction. Visit us at the Valo Eye Hospital, for a free consultation on the best possible refractive solution for you.

Oculoplastic Surgeries

Our specialist in the field of oculoplastics is Johanna Sarmela. All oculoplastic surgeries preofermed in the Valo Eye Hospital are performed based on medical indications and thus prices are without VAT. Blepharoplasties are the most common form of oculoplastic surgeries. They are performed when loose skin on the upper eyelid causes visual symptoms or chronic infections.

Retinal Diseases and Neuro-Ophthalmology

Age-related macular degeneration is the most common retinal eye condition and a leading cause of vision loss among people aged 50 and older. Age–related macular degeneration is a disease that blurs the sharp, central vision you need for “straight-ahead” activities such as reading, sewing, and reading.
