Slovenian Paediatric Ophthalmology Group

Paediatric ophthalmology in Slovenia has a long-standing tradition. In Slovenia, the only tertiary paediatric ophthalmology centre is University Eye Clinic in Ljubljana. The centre is well known for anterior segment surgery in children. Young children are treated here for congenital cataracts and glaucoma also from neighbouring countries such as Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and others.

The University Eye Clinic also has a well-established laboratory for Visual Electrophysiology, with an emphasis also on paediatric visual electrophysiology.
