This is a modern method of treating refractive disorders, in which the shape of the cornea is changed using a unique femtosecond laser.

10-15 minutes

This VN generates ultrashort (femtosecond) pulses, which allows the operation to be performed with high accuracy.

During surgery, the laser affects the cornea, changing its shape in such a way as to correct refractive errors. As a result, the focusing of light on the retina improves, and the patient begins to see clearly and clearly without glasses or contact lenses.

Astigmatism up to-6 diopters.
Age-related hyperopia.
A combination of several of these pathologies.

Contraindications

Make an appointment for a survey

Preparation for the diagnosis

Перед процедурой

Необходимо пройти полное офтальмологическое обследование, включающее проверку остроты зрения, измерение внутриглазного давления и топографию роговицы.

За 1 неделю до операции

Следует отказаться от ношения контактных линз, чтобы роговица восстановила свою естественную форму. Накануне рекомендуется исключить алкогольные напитки

В день операции

Нужно отказаться от макияжа, парфюмерии и крема для лица. Рекомендуется взять с собой солнечные очки, позавтракать и не садиться самостоятельно за руль. Приехать лучше на такси или в сопровождении родственников или друзей.

After Femto Lasik vision correction, the patient will need a rehabilitation period. During this time, there may be restrictions, which it is important to be aware of in advance.:

The need to use eye drops that will be prescribed by a doctor. This will help speed up the healing process and reduce discomfort after surgery.
Restriction of physical activity and sports during the first weeks after surgery.
Refusal to swim in open reservoirs and pools during the week.

Although vision usually becomes perfect the very next day, full recovery can take from a couple of weeks to several months. During the postoperative period, it is important to visit a doctor to monitor the healing process and correct treatment if necessary.

During the recovery period, patients may experience the following temporary symptoms:

Feeling of dryness or lacrimation;
Increased photosensitivity;
Distortion of the perception of light sources, mainly at night;

Usually these symptoms can be successfully eliminated under the supervision of a specialist.

Clear recommendations from the doctor

We would like to express our deep gratitude to ophthalmologist Oksana Levkina for the ongoing course of treatment. Although it is still ongoing, improved visibility and removal of the interfering spot can be noted. The reception takes place in a comfortable environment, with

detailed explanations during the treatment, which has a very beneficial effect on well-being and causes confidence in the results of the treatment process. Clear recommendations from the doctor help to carry out additional procedures at home quite easily and effectively.

I bow before such Doctors!

I am, so to speak, in love with your medical center! The service, the doctors, everything is perfect. We're being treated by Ryde Ellis; he's not just a doctor—he's God to us!!! I've never met a more professional ophthalmologist anywhere. There's no problem for him that he can't

handle! I went to him for the first time about 15 years ago with my eldest son, with a severely progressive myopia; all the doctors threw up their hands, they could not help. The child was plagued by pain behind his eye, his eyesight was falling at a tremendous rate — we were treated wherever possible for 5 years! After the recommendation to contact Ryde Ellis, our problems ended.: He stabilized his eyesight, all the pain went away, and there was no more loss of vision. We just exhaled! Now, my youngest son and I are also being monitored by our beloved and very respected family doctor Ride! In two months, the main problem has been solved; now we are correcting our eyesight, everything is going according to plan — everything is fine with us! Thanks!! By the way, Ride's attitude towards children and parents deserves special praise! He is always friendly, attentive and treats his patients with great care!
