A treatment that gives hope to patients with low vision
Our clinic in Banská Bystrica offers a treatment that is the first of its kind in Slovakia: electrostimulation, which gives hope to patients with low vision caused by glaucoma or other damage to the optic nerve, to patients with retinitis pigmentosa, with traumatic injury to the visual pathway, or with visual function weakened after Covid.
