Ophthalmologists in Tbilisi

What Does an Ophthalmologist in Tbilisi Treat

An ophthalmologist (eye doctor) in Tbilisi diagnoses and treats eye and vision conditions: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, retinal dystrophy, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Tbilisi ophthalmology centers offer laser vision correction (LASIK, LASEK, SMILE), cataract surgery with premium IOL implants, anti-VEGF injections, retinal laser photocoagulation and glaucoma surgery.

When to See an Ophthalmologist

See an ophthalmologist urgently for sudden vision loss, floaters or flashes of light, eye pain, redness with discharge, or eye trauma. Schedule a routine exam annually; people with diabetes or hypertension should be seen every 6 months. Children should have their first eye exam at 1 month of age and at regular developmental check-ups.

For laser correction and cataract surgery choose specialized ophthalmology centers with modern equipment (excimer laser, femtosecond laser for SMILE, Alcon/Johnson phacoemulsifier).
