MYOPIA (or Near-sightedness)
A myopic eye is an eye that is too long and the light rays are focused in front of the retina. Distant vision is blurred, but the vision
Brussels eye centre is an ophthalmology centre specialised in the prevention, medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases, including surgery for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and surgery for cataracts, corneas and keratoconus. Our centre has several ophthalmologists specialising in surgery, general ophthalmology, medical retina, glaucoma and contact lenses.

The hyperopic eye is too short and the light rays are focused behind the retina. Hyperopia can be corrected by laser, by making the
The astigmatic cornea has an oval shape, while the normal eye has a perfectly round shape, the light rays are only partially focused on
Presbyopia is an accommodation disorder caused by a decrease in the elasticity of the lens, which appears physiologically after the age of 40. It results in
This is the opacification of the posterior capsule, on which the intraocular implant rests. Clinical signs: decreased vision blurred vision decreased visual acuity
It is a disease of the basement membrane underlying the corneal epithelium, resulting in poor healing of the epithelium with recurrent erosions either spontaneously or following
These are diseases that cause the cornea to become cloudy and significantly reduce vision. They may be accompanied by eye pain. Treatment
This is a progressive corneal disease that can begin to show signs around the age of 20 and leads to a conical bulge in the cornea
