Modern ophthalmology is one of the most high-tech specialities, requiring constant updating and investment on the part of the physician. Regular check-ups by your ophthalmologist allow early diagnosis of diseases, diseases that if not caught in time can sometimes lead to blindness. The ophthalmic centre in Besso in Lugano as well as the medical practice in Biasca offer a broad spectrum of diagnostics and treatments.
