Strabismus Treatment in Dr Nikolaos I Dervenis MD, MSc, PhD, FEBO - Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon

Strabismus treatment at the clinic of Dr. Nikolaos I. Dervenis in Thessaloniki, Greece, focuses on restoring proper eye alignment for both adults and children. A consultation with an ophthalmologist may cost around $70 or $90, which includes basic ophthalmic imaging and tests. Care is led by Dr. Nikolaos I. Dervenis, a UK-trained surgeon with over 10 years of experience and fellowships at Moorfields Eye Hospital and Sussex Eye Hospital.

Diagnostics and assessment

Before any treatment begins, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the type and severity of the eye misalignment. The diagnostic process takes approximately one day and helps the surgeon decide on the most effective management plan. The following tests are available:

• Consultation with an ophthalmologist. This visit includes a physical exam and basic eye imaging.
• Strabismus examination. Dr. Nikolaos I. Dervenis evaluates the degree of eye deviation.
• Eye motility assessment. This test checks how well the eye muscles move in different directions.
• Stereo-acuity test. This assessment measures depth perception and how the eyes work together.

Surgical treatment

Strabismus surgery is a specialized procedure used to tighten or loosen the eye muscles. This changes the position of the eyes and helps them look in the same direction. At this clinic, surgery is typically recommended when the misalignment is present in the primary position, which is when the patient looks straight ahead. All management options are discussed during the initial assessment to help patients choose the right path for their specific case.
