Operation by doctor's recommendation in Italian Eye Hospital

Eye surgeries and specialized vision treatments at the Italian Eye Hospital in Prishtina, Kosovo, provide advanced solutions for vision correction and retinal health. The facility serves over 15,000 patients annually and is affiliated with the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Patients can access modern laser vision correction, cataract removal, and complex vitreoretinal procedures performed by a team with international credentials.

Laser Vision Correction Methods

The hospital specializes in different laser techniques to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It was the first in Kosovo to use TransPRK SmartSurface, a touch-less method that does not require incisions. The medical team also performs FemtoLasik and SMILE Pro procedures. These treatments use high-precision German equipment, including the Schwind Amaris 500E and Zeiss VisuMax 500 systems. All laser platforms, including the Alcon Wavelight Eye-Q, are FDA-approved for safety and accuracy.

Expert Surgical Team

The surgical department is led by highly experienced specialists with over 10 years of practice in their respective fields.

• Prof. Ass. Dr. Arsim Hajdari is a clinical chief who has performed 4,000+ procedures. He pioneered TransPRK and laser-guided cross-linking in Kosovo.

Advanced Retina and Corneal Care

For patients with macular degeneration, the hospital is one of the few in the region providing intravitreal Beovu injections. Surgeons also perform pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for complex retinal issues. Corneal health is managed through cross-linking for keratoconus correction and TransPTK. Beyond vision correction, the clinic offers oculoplastic surgery for blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, and tumor removal from the eye area.

Diagnostic and Surgical Standards

Before any surgery, patients undergo a thorough eye examination. This includes optical coherence tomography (OCT), topography to map the cornea, and biometry. The clinic follows international protocols to choose the most suitable method for each patient. Post-operative care includes scheduled follow-up visits and prescribed medications to help the healing process. Treatments are available for patients of all ages, including specialized strabismus surgery for eye alignment issues.
