Advanced Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses a set of tests to monitor the health of the eye and track the progression of glaucoma. Patients receive a full workup during their visit. This includes several specialized exams:

• Tonometry to measure the internal pressure of the eye
• Gonioscopy to check the drainage angle where fluid leaves the eye
• Fundoscopy to examine the optic nerve and retina
• Visual field test to find any loss in peripheral vision
• OCT–OCTA imaging for detailed views of the eye tissues and blood flow

Laser Treatment Options

For many patients, laser therapy offers a way to manage glaucoma without traditional surgery. Dr. Nikolaos I. Dervenis performs anterior segment laser procedures in the clinic. One common method is iridotomy, which helps fluid move more freely in certain types of glaucoma. These laser treatments are non-invasive and happen right at the facility. They help lower eye pressure and can reduce the need for daily eye drops.

Dr. Nikolaos I. Dervenis is actively involved in clinical research. He contributes to the Thessaloniki Eye Study, which is the largest epidemiological eye study in Greece. His research work focuses on the prevalence and management of glaucoma. This academic background helps him apply the most current scientific evidence to his patient care.
