Eye and Ear Hospital
The Eye and Ear Hospital is part of HUS Helsinki University Central Hospital. The hospital is located in the Meilahti hospital area. In the hospital, we examine and treat patients with ophthalmic, oral, and maxillofacial diseases.
We treat patients from our own hospital area, but also extensively from the Southern Finland region, as well as nationwide. The free movement of patients also brings us patients from abroad.
We restrict visits to HUS hospitals and units due to COVID-19.
