From ancient times, there is a saying that if your body is 1000 nyang (old Korean weight unit), your eyes are 900 nyang. You can see that the eye is a significant body organ in human life. You may be familiar with the fact that the proportion of information obtained through the eyes among various sensory organs of a person is enormous. It is the ‘department of ophthalmology’ that deals with all the diseases related to the eyes critical in the quality of life and structures that surround them. Our department of ophthalmology is in charge of the prevention and treatment of diseases that occur in eyes, eyelids, orbits, and optic nerve. The best medical staff in all fields of ophthalmology, including cataract, glaucoma, retina, vitreous and uvea, strabismus, and neurological ophthalmology (pediatric ophthalmology) and ophthalmopathy are providing professional medical treatment to patients. To do this, we have various examination equipment such as corneal topography, specular microscope, automatic view tester, scanning laser polarimeter, ocular blood flow meter, fluorescence fundus camera, electrophysiology machine, ophthalmic machine, and optical coherence tomography, etc.
Also, the best professors in Korea are working in our department. Professor Kim Hyung-Jun is in charge of the extraocular and the refractive sections, who can perform seamless cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, and pediatric cataract surgery using ultrasonic emulsification. Professor Kim Si-Dong and Professor Kim Yoon-Young are in charge of vitreous hemorrhage due to diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, retinal and vitreous diseases of other cataract surgery. Professor Kim Jae-Woo is in the area of glaucoma, who can perform treatment and surgery of intractable glaucoma and merged cataracts. Professor Kim Sook-Young is in charge of the treatment of pediatric strabismus or paralysis strabismus and surgical neuro-ophthalmology and cross-eye. Lastly, Professor Kim Keun-Hae specializes in the treatment of orbital diseases and eyelid diseases and eye plastic surgery.
As shown above, the Daegu Catholic Ophthalmology classroom can provide services such as department stores in all fields of ophthalmology and surgery. In particular, we are doing our best to maintain the highest medical level in Korea by holding an ophthalmological symposium for hospitals and clinics nationwide every year. Based on our professional knowledge and abundant clinical experience, our department of Ophthalmology of Daegu Catholic University Medical Center will give the light of hope to the patients suffering from eye disease.
