Glaucoma, commonly called the Green Star, often wreaks havoc on the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure caused by aqueous humor. The experts will walk you through recent developments in diagnosis and treatment methods, especially focusing on promising advances in conservational and surgical treatment approaches.
No one wants a foggy lens, right? That's precisely what cataracts, fondly nicknamed the Gray Star, are all about. The culprit behind this condition is the natural aging process of the lens, which usually kicks off around the age of 50. But don't fret; cataract surgery offers a chance to restore your vision by replacing the clouded lens with an artificial one.
Medical Sunday, an initiative by Urania Magdeburg, Volksstimme, and University Medicine Magdeburg, is not just an educational event but also a golden opportunity to chat with the experts, clear up any doubts you might have, and dig deeper into these fascinating topics.
