Visual impairment in old age: understanding and treating age-related macular degeneration
Good vision contributes significantly to quality of life. Changes in visual acuity can therefore be unsettling - especially if they occur suddenly or for no apparent reason. Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of impaired central vision. It often develops gradually and is not always noticed immediately.
In this article, we give you a clear overview of the disease, typical signs, risk factors and modern treatment options. Our aim is to provide guidance and show how those affected can lead as self-determined and good a life as possible despite visual impairments.

"Giving closeness when words are not enough" - Clinical pastoral care at Zollikerberg Hospital
Clinical counselling is far more than just a conversation: it is a mindful accompaniment in times of illness, crises and deep questions about life. In this interview, Pastor Sales Meier talks about his experiences as a hospital chaplain - about quiet moments of togetherness, about dealing with feelings of powerlessness and about how small gestures are often enough to give people support, comfort and guidance in stressful situations.

Education and exchange on World Premature Baby Day
To mark World Premature Baby Day 2025 on Monday, 17 November 2025, our neonatology clinic at Zollikerberg Hospital organised an information stand from 9 am to 4 pm to raise awareness of the special needs of premature babies. Parents and numerous other interested parties took the opportunity to obtain information, ask questions and find out more about the care of premature babies. The great interest and the many encounters showed us how important information and dialogue are for families with premature babies. A special thank you to everyone who came along, actively helped and organised the day with us.
