Eye diseases and vision

Mehiläinen provides versatile ophthalmological expertise. In most cases, it is ideal to start examining any symptoms or problems related to your eyes or vision by booking an appointment with an ophthalmologist. In some cases, however, it is necessary to continue the treatment at a specialised ophthalmological appointment, where the services of experts specialised in more specific issues are available.
