As a renowned academic ophthalmic center, Department of Ophthalmology of TVGH has a reputation for taking on difficult cases. These include patients with multiple ocular problems that require cross-subspecialty procedures. A high volume of procedures are performed at NTUH, giving our surgeons extensive experience and expertise in surgical interventions. Our ophthalmologists, led by multidisciplinary teams of eye specialists, have achieved outstanding results by incorporating the most advanced imaging with the latest surgical techniques. For patients with complex eye conditions this approach means fewer surgeries and better outcomes.
State-of-the-Art Imaging Technology
All eye treatments start with a comprehensive evaluation. Our advanced ocular imaging facilities are staffed by highly trained technicians who use sophisticated, high-resolution, state-of-the-art diagnostic instruments. Use of the latest technology in the study of eye disease contributes to the enhancement of patient care. The precise detection of the lesions allows for early and accurate understanding of the progressions of eye diseases. In cases of retinal and other optic disc diseases, these imaging studies have been instrumental in understanding the functional changes resulting from the disease and in decision-making during surgical interventions.
Leading the Way in Research
In addition, our faculty is at the forefront of advancing the field of ophthalmology through basic, translational, and clinical research. Faculty members at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and the Department of Ophthalmology of TVGH are pioneering work in advanced ocular imaging, new surgical devices, and genetics and genomics of eye disease. As a center for clinical investigations, we spearheads drug trials, innovative medical and surgical techniques, therapeutics, and prevention programs. In addition, we strives to transfer new discoveries, diagnostic methods, and treatment techniques to patients.
