As a specialist in ophthalmology, I offer state-of-the-art techniques for a comprehensive and holistic care of your visual system. My range of services covers prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various eye conditions.
A standard eye examination in my practice includes vision testing, microscopic examination of the eyes, intraocular pressure measurement, color vision testing, and retinal examination. Combined with visual field testing, retinal layer imaging (OCT), corneal topography, and tear film analysis, I provide you with a thorough preventative check-up along with detailed consultation for your eye health.
If you are suffering from an eye condition, I will work with you to determine the most effective treatment approach and support your recovery actively. My services include treatments for conjunctivitis, styes, cataract surgery, glaucoma therapy, laser treatment, and many other procedures across the full spectrum of ophthalmology.
Preventive Eye Care at Your Eye Doctor
Eye diseases can be insidious and often only show symptoms once significant damage has already occurred. That’s why it is essential to have your overall eye health and retinal status regularly checked by your ophthalmologist. Preventive eye care should begin in childhood and, at the latest, be conducted regularly from the age of 40 to detect conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or glaucoma early on. The earlier a condition is detected, the better the chances of slowing or halting its progression.

Ophthalmology and Eye Treatments at Eye Doctor Borny's Practice in Vienna
Glaucoma can lead to blindness if left untreated. That’s why early detection and treatment by a specialist is crucial. Depending on the type and severity of the glaucoma, either medication-based therapy, laser treatment (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty – SLT) or a surgical intervention may be recommended.
Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure worldwide and is used to treat cataracts. I specialize in this procedure and will guide you through the entire process – from selecting the most suitable lens implant to the surgery itself and the post-operative care..
If your situation prevents you from visiting our clinic, I offer house calls as a board-certified ophthalmologist. I bring all necessary diagnostic equipment with me and provide full eye examinations in the comfort of your home.

When Should You See an Eye Doctor?
Our eyes are among the most vital sensory organs and have a profound impact on our quality of life. This makes any eye condition highly significant. If left untreated, many eye diseases can lead to a worsening of symptoms. In serious cases, such as glaucoma, the optic nerve may be damaged. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), for instance, affects the macula and causes progressive vision loss, potentially leading to blindness.
For this reason, you should consult an eye doctor if any eye disease or injury does not subside within 24 hours. If symptoms include severe redness or pain, seek medical attention immediately. Because the eyes are such delicate organs, it is always better to err on the side of caution and see a specialist rather than wait.
Conjunctivitis occurs when the protective mucous membrane of the eye — which lines the visible part of the eyeball and the inner surface of the eyelids — is attacked by bacteria or viruses. This leads to itching, tearing, and sometimes blurry vision. Medical treatment with eye drops can significantly relieve the symptoms and shorten the course
of the disease.
A stye is a painful infection that typically appears at the edge of the eyelid (external hordeolum) or deeper within the eyelid (internal hordeolum). It is usually caused by bacterial infection. If the stye does not heal on its own or spreads further, it is essential to consult an ophthalmologist as this could potentially result in permanent vision impairment.
AMD is the leading cause of severe visual impairment in people over the age of 60 in the Western world. As this condition can lead to progressive and irreversible vision loss, early diagnosis is crucial. Since AMD is painless, it often goes unnoticed until it is quite advanced. While there is currently no cure, modern treatments can slow down the progression and help preserve visual function for as long as possible.
