I.O. provides services in the several sub-fields of ophthalmology, from appointments and screenings, to contactology, strabismology, ocular inflammations, glaucoma, medical and surgical retina.
Within surgical practice, IO stands out for the relevance given to refractive surgery, namely correcting ametropias (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) using technique of intraocular lens implantation or the Excimer Laser techniques (Lasik e PRK), and to the transplant field, Hospital da Ordem Terceira having been one of the first private hospitals to be given certification for a cornea transplant program by the IPST (Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation).
Femtosecond Laser allowed to perform Lasik surgeries (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) without resorting to any blade, thus reducing the surgeon’s manual intervention, and allowing to obtain better results, as well as an extremely high safety level.
IO is also equipped with a Femtosecond Laser for cataract surgeries, a high-precision laser technology with computerised control and 3D image customisation, allowing to achieve better results in such surgeries, and a swifter patient recovery.

APOLLO METHODEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (Apollo Method)
Prof. Lopez-Nava Many obese patients are struggling to lose weight and reject conventional obesity management. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (Apollo Method) is a pioneering coadjuvant intervention technique for an integral obesity management. Our goals with this new approach to bariatric surgery is to show you how safe and efficient Apollo Method is. Results show that undergoing endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty leads to significant weight loss. It helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat. And the procedure is minimally invasive, reducing the risk of operative complications and allowing quick return to daily activities. In all our cases, no major complications were developed and patients were discharged 24 hours following the procedure. Endoscopic and radiographic follow-up at 6 months post-procedure showed outstanding results. CONCLUSIONS: Like other weight loss procedures, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty requires commitment to a healthier lifestyle. You need to make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. Minimally invasive and highly effective in body weight reduction, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a promising method of treating obesity. The results confirm the effectiveness of the surgery in terms of body weight loss, similar to other forms of bariatric treatment but way less invasive, requiring a considerable quicker procedure and shorter hospital stay. |
