Our Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinic is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eye diseases and visual disorders in children and adolescents.
The team is composed of an ophthalmologist with specific training and experience in pediatric ophthalmology, and an orthoptist, who welcomes young patients, performs a series of tests to evaluate visual ability, eye alignment, and binocular coordination.

Children undergo personalized visual assessments based on their age and level of schooling.
It is important that all children undergo regular eye check-ups to promptly identify and treat visual disturbances and conditions that are common yet often asymptomatic.

Our clinic particularly focuses on the management and treatment of conditions such as Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis, Progressive Myopia, Amblyopia (Lazy Eye), and Strabismus.

The Uveitis Clinic, coordinated by Dr. Daniele De Geronimo, is a specialized service dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of uveitis—rare inflammatory eye diseases that can affect people of all ages and, if not properly treated, may lead to severe visual impairment.

Depending on the affected ocular region, uveitis can be classified as anterior, intermediate, posterior, or diffuse, and may involve only the eye itself or represent the ocular manifestation of systemic diseases, such as autoimmune or infectious diseases.

Through the integration of clinical care and scientific research, the clinic provides a comprehensive and personalized approach.
Patients undergo a diagnostic pathway that includes a complete specialized ophthalmologic examination, supported by advanced ocular imaging with state-of-the-art technology such as OCT, OCT-angiography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography (both standard and ultra wide-field).

When necessary, targeted laboratory tests are carried out for immunological and/or infectious disease evaluation, often in collaboration with other specialists such as rheumatologists, immunologists, or infectious disease experts, ensuring a truly multidisciplinary approach.

Once the diagnostic assessment is complete, a personalized treatment plan is developed.
In infectious uveitis, specific therapy (e.g., antibiotics and/or antivirals) is administered, often combined with corticosteroid anti-inflammatory treatment.
In developed countries, most uveitis cases are non-infectious, typically of inflammatory or autoimmune origin. The gold standard first-line therapy for non-infectious uveitis is corticosteroid treatment—administered topically (eye drops), locally (subconjunctival, sub-Tenon’s, peribulbar, or intravitreal injections), or systemically (oral, intramuscular, or intravenous routes).

For patients with recurrent or chronic uveitis requiring “steroid-sparing” strategies, or for those with inadequate response or contraindications to corticosteroids, second-line treatments such as traditional immunosuppressants or biologic agents are often necessary. In selected cases, intravitreal anti-VEGF injections may also be used.

The clinic’s goal is to control inflammation, prevent complications, and preserve visual function. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor disease progression and adjust therapy over time.

The Uveitis Clinic also participates in international multicenter clinical studies and research protocols, offering patients access to innovative therapies, including next-generation biologic drugs.

The General Ophthalmology Clinic is the first point of reference and access to our facility, staffed by a team of highly qualified ophthalmology specialists for the initial assessment of patients. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive eye examination, including evaluation of distance and near visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examination, and measurement of intraocular pressure.

The main role of the General Ophthalmology Clinic is to assess whether the patient is in good visual health through the use of specific diagnostic equipment, or, conversely, whether further second-level investigations are required.

In such cases, patients are automatically referred to specialized clinics dedicated exclusively to the study and treatment of specific conditions, such as retinal, corneal, neuro-ophthalmological, oncological, or glaucoma-related disorders.

Another important role of our General Ophthalmology Clinic is to provide pre-operative and post-operative eye examinations for patients undergoing cataract surgery.

The pre-operative examination is of fundamental importance, as it is when the exact power of the intraocular lens to be implanted during surgery—replacing the natural lens—is determined.

Equally important is the post-operative pathway, during which patients are closely monitored and supported by the ophthalmology team throughout the therapeutic course, with follow-up visits carried out in the month following cataract surgery.

In addition, the General Ophthalmology Clinic also manages patients who require YAG-laser capsulotomy treatment for “Secondary Cataract,” a condition caused by opacification of the posterior capsule of the natural lens following cataract surgery.

This treatment is designed to clear the opacification affecting the posterior capsule of the natural lens—a phenomenon that sooner or later occurs in most patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
