Laser vision correction

Laser vision correction abroad is performed by experienced doctors using innovative devices and instruments, which ensures a positive result without complications.

Types of laser vision correction

Vision is one of the most important abilities, thanks to which a person perceives, analyzes and processes up to 75% of the information coming from the outside world. Decreased visual acuity significantly reduces the quality of life, especially if it occurs spontaneously, under the influence of pathological triggers.

Vision correction is one of the priority areas of ophthalmology. It is conducted in conservative and radical ways. The first category includes lens selection, and the second category includes invasive procedures, including laser treatment.

The following variants of laser vision correction are used in modern clinical practice:

LASIK is a technique that involves the complete vaporization of the corneal epithelial layer in order to replace it naturally. It is more often used for farsightedness. He is considered the "ancestor" of ophthalmic laser surgery.
LASEK is a less traumatic method involving the removal of the surface area of the epithelial layer. After that, the correction itself takes place, and the removed cells return to their place. LASEK is suitable for patients with thin cornea and gives an almost instant effect.
Wavefront is an innovative procedure involving local exposure to defective areas of the cornea under the control of computer navigation. The method practically eliminates the human factor, since all manipulations are performed by a robot. There are no risks of medical error with it. It is suitable for people who want to restore the maximum visual acuity possible in their case.

Currently, LASEK procedures are performed with a new generation femtosecond and excimer laser, which provides reliable protection against burns and other treatment complications.
