At the eye clinic, we meet patients with virtually all types of eye diseases that are diagnosed and treated at the clinic.

We provide both outpatient and inpatient care through clinics, surgical departments, care places at another clinic, as well as a vision center. We offer regional healthcare to residents in the central and western parts of Östergötland, and highly specialized care to patients from Jönköping, Kalmar, and Östergötland counties.

Eye surgery in Linköping is part of the eye clinic. Here, specialized and highly specialized eye surgery is performed both under general anesthesia and local anesthesia. We perform cataract surgery, vitreous and retinal surgeries, corneal transplants, pressure-reducing surgeries for glaucoma, strabismus surgeries, and extraocular surgeries.
