The price of this procedure in most cases raises questions among patients. However, the cost is offset by the speed and guarantee of vision restoration, meaning the spent budget is a profitable investment in health and quality of life.
How laser correction is performed and why it is popular
The procedure is performed using modern equipment that affects the eye with a "cold" laser. That is, the doctor corrects the refraction of light rays in the eyeball and directs them to the retina at the correct angle. As a result, a person begins to see clearly and refractive errors are eliminated. Patient reviews show that the procedure itself has many advantages:
Speed. The laser acts for only 5-60 seconds. After surgery, vision gradually improves. Full recovery takes several days and depends on the recommended correction method.
Guarantee. After laser correction, vision is fully restored.
Safety. Modern equipment does not cause heating of the cornea, and the entire process is controlled by several ophthalmic surgeons.
Comfort of the procedure. To eliminate unpleasant sensations, ophthalmologists use anesthetic drops.
How laser correction is performed in Kyiv: the example of the ophthalmology center "Noviy Zir"
The choice of methods is huge and depends on the deviations with which the patient comes for laser correction. The largest ophthalmology centers, such as "Noviy Zir", have the widest capabilities. On the official website of the institution, in the section https://www.zir.com.ua/lazernaya_korrektsiya_zreniya/, you can learn in detail about the methods used to restore vision for deviations from -15 to +4D. Here are a few examples:
Lasik. The method gives results for deviations from -15 to +4D. It can be performed in patients with particularly sensitive corneas or diagnosed astigmatism.
Super Lasik+Thin Flap Super Lasik, Femto Lasik. Laser correction in Kyiv using these methods is performed in patients with vision deviations from -12 to +5D and thin corneas.
Vision returns already in the operating room, full recovery occurs within 1-2 days if rehabilitation recommendations are followed. However, before the price of the procedure is determined, the patient is warned about a number of prohibitions and restrictions for its performance: Age from 18 to 45 years. Absence of chronic and autoimmune diseases. Absence of pregnancy, and correction is also prohibited for women during lactation.
At the first appointment with an ophthalmologist, all prohibitions and restrictions are explained to the patient. After the examination, the doctor recommends the optimal correction methods.
