About the clinic
Treatment for vitreous body destruction and retinal detachment is available at the private ophthalmic center of Dr Nikolaos I Dervenis in Thessaloniki, Greece. A consultation with the ophthalmologist may cost around $70, while a comprehensive surgery package with hospital stay typically runs $2,700. The center offers treatment by a UK-trained surgeon who has performed over 1,500 vitrectomy procedures.
The clinic specializes exclusively in eye care. It is led by Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Dr Nikolaos I Dervenis. He brings 15 years of experience and has completed over 1,500 vitrectomy surgeries. His extensive training includes work as an NHS Consultant in the UK. He also has over 55 peer-reviewed medical publications.
Diagnostic Examination
Before any treatment, a full eye assessment is conducted. This detailed diagnostics package includes:
- Consultation with an ophthalmologist
- A complete ophthalmological investigation
- An ophthalmoscopy to examine the retina
These diagnostic steps are part of the surgical package. They help determine the best course of action for the patient's specific condition.
Surgical Treatment Options
For vitreous body destruction and retinal detachment, the clinic offers two main surgical approaches. Each procedure requires a one-day hospital stay.
- Vitrectomy with tamponade: This is a posterior segment vitrectomy. It removes the damaged vitreous gel from inside the eye. A gas or silicone oil bubble is then used to reattach the retina precisely.
- Scleral buckle: This is an external retinal attachment procedure. It involves placing a supportive band around the eye. This method offers a non-vitrectomy surgical alternative.
The $2,700 surgery package covers the full ophthalmic assessment, the chosen surgical procedure, and the one-day hospital stay. The package price does not include accommodation or transportation. Discuss your specific condition with the specialist to explore which surgical option is suitable for you.
