The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, essential for converting light into visual signals. At the center lies the macula, which governs sharp, central vision. Damage to this area – from age, vascular disease, or degenerative processes – can lead to progressive, and sometimes irreversible, vision loss. Early detection and timely treatment are essential.
We diagnose and manage both dry and wet AMD with personalized treatment strategies:
Intravitreal therapy is a cornerstone of modern medical retina care. At ELZA, we use intravitreal injections to treat:
Injections are performed under sterile conditions with high patient comfort and safety.
Geographic Atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of dry AMD. Until recently, no treatment could alter its course. ELZA now offers pegcetacoplan (Syfovre®)—the first FDA- and EMA-approved treatment to slow GA progression. Delivered via intravitreal injection, Syfovre® works by inhibiting complement factor C3, thereby reducing inflammation and retinal cell loss.
ELZA offers a range of vitreoretinal surgical procedures, including:
Dr. Oleñik Memmel trained in Paraguay and Spain and brings a comprehensive approach to medical and surgical retina care.
ELZA now offers both medical and surgical retina services under one roof.
Among the first centers in Switzerland to offer pegcetacoplan (Syfovre®) for geographic atrophy.
High-resolution OCT, autofluorescence imaging, and fundus angiography available on-site.
From diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, patients benefit from coordinated, seamless care.
If you’ve been diagnosed with AMD, diabetic retinal disease, or other retinal conditions—or are noticing changes in your vision—schedule a consultation with our retina team at ELZA Institute.
