The DOG is a medical scientific organisation. Our scope is the promotion of science and research. The DOG does not carry out any treatments and examinations of patients. This however is essential for diagnostics and therapy recommendations. We appreciate your understanding that we cannot answer questions on specific clinical pictures. For such questions we recommend you to contact an ophthalmologist or an eye clinic.
