About the clinic

Glaucoma treatment at Pentagram Eye Hospital and Medical Center in Sofia, Bulgaria, focuses on halting vision loss through advanced laser and implant methods. The facility holds the title of Hospital of the Year 2025 for Quality and Safety in Medicine. Treatment plans are overseen by experts like Dr. Vesselin Daskalov, who has over 35 years of experience in ophthalmology.

Advanced Glaucoma Solutions

The hospital specializes in modern techniques to lower intraocular pressure. Doctors here use the ELIOS laser, which was first introduced to Bulgaria and Eastern Europe at this center. This laser provides a minimally invasive and precise way to treat the condition during other eye surgeries. Another key option is the PreserFlo micro-implant. Dr. Ralitsa Kermedchieva uses this tool to help patients reduce their daily need for eye drops. The medical team also offers traditional medical therapy and specialized surgical interventions.

Diagnostic Accuracy

Success in glaucoma management depends on early detection because lost vision cannot be restored. Pentagram Eye Hospital uses OCT angiography and specialized eye exams to monitor the health of the optic nerve. These tools allow the medical team to create a baseline and track changes in eye pressure over time. The hospital maintains an ISO 9001:2015 certification, which confirms that all diagnostic and treatment protocols meet international quality standards.

Expert Medical Team

The ophthalmology department includes several specialists dedicated to eye health. Dr. Vesselin Daskalov leads the team and is known for pioneering the ELIOS laser technology in the region. Dr. Mariya Benova is a recognized expert in glaucoma diagnosis, while Dr. Elza Alexandrova Nikolova focuses on posterior eye segment diseases. Their combined knowledge helps patients manage chronic eye conditions effectively. The clinic’s laboratory also holds the highest rating from the Bulgarian Ministry of Health for its accuracy and safety.
