Eye conditions and treatments

Our eyes are susceptible to various eye diseases and conditions. Our team is at your service to treat each eye condition appropriately and with the most advanced technology.

Reduction of vision
Deteriorating vision is something that affects many people. Your near or far vision can get worse and/or images can appear slightly distorted. We will determine the cause and the appropriate treatment for you.

Cataract
A foggy or blurred vision, as well as rapid deterioration of your vision can be a sign that the lens of your eye has become cloudy. During an operation, we replace your cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens.

Elevated ocular pressure and glaucoma
High pressure in your eyes can affect the nerve fibres in your eyes and gradually reduce your vision. After the age of 45, it is important to have your eye pressure tested regularly.

Dry eyes and tear duct disorders
If you suffer from dry or weepy and watering eyes or experience blurred vision, we will determine whether your eyes produce enough fluid and/or whether your tear ducts still work properly. Eyecenter Merelbeke is a specialised dry eye clinic where we can offer a long-acting treatment for dry eyes.

Conditions affecting the retina and vitreous humour
Our ophtalmologists are specialised in medical and surgical treatments of diseases of the retina and the vitreous body.

Eyelid corrections
Our eyelids can become infected, a lump, and sometimes even small cysts and tumours can form on them. In addition, the natural ageing process can cause the eyelids to droop and cause complaints such as pressure on the eyes or even a reduced field of vision. CO2 laser treatment can be a solution.

Crossed eyes or
double vision
Divergence or convergence of your eyes (inward or outward, and sometimes upward or downward) or poor convergence of the eyes leads to distorted vision. We can treat this with surgery, where necessary.

Conical cornea (Keratoconus)
The cornea of your eye is a protective layer, and together with the lens it is important for the sharpness of your vision. If the cornea’s shape is irregular, you will not be able to focus clearly and your image quality will be reduced. Corneal cross-linking can be a solution.

Focus on our patients

As a team, we combine our expertise and experience to enable every patient to enjoy the best possible vision every day.

Yesterday, I had my eyes laser-treated at Eyecenter by Dr. Fernand De Wilde. The day of the treatment was a bit of a struggle (which was to be expected)... but now I see perfectly! I was extremely stressed about this, but Dr. De Wilde guided me through the treatment very well. His calm approach put me at ease. Thank you! I highly recommend it!

A very pleasant experience. More than sufficient explanation during the preliminary examination AND during the treatment. Highly recommended! I felt completely at ease and in good hands.

I was here for a glasses prescription. You can get an appointment quite quickly if you keep an eye on the online calendar. I paid the correct price that was communicated beforehand, and the appointment was right on time. Very friendly staff and doctor, so I will definitely be back!

I was kindly received in Zwijnaarde and given some explanation and preparation. The doctor then put me completely at ease during the procedure. He gently explained what was being done. The procedure was virtually painless. I definitely recommend EyeCenter for their professionalism and humane approach. Thank you!

The entire procedure went smoothly and painlessly. No pain or discomfort afterwards either. Good follow-up. Having lenses implanted is highly recommended if you no longer want the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
