For the purpose of preventing infection, increasing intraocular pressure, and eye trauma. It is likely that everything will be fine, but we recommend that you faithfully follow all post-operative recommendations.
As a rule, the result lasts for life, but laser correction does not protect against the development of other eye diseases. Presbyopia in old age cannot be avoided by any person; in some people this condition may only occur later than average age norms due to individual vision characteristics.
Laser vision correction lasts no more than 10 minutes (for a total of 2 eyes). The operation is performed under local drip anesthesia. At the first stage, the eyelids are fixed with an eyelid expander in order to eliminate reflex blinking. A flap is formed from the surface layer of the cornea using a special device, which is moved to the side in order to expose the excimer laser to the corneal stroma. After the laser beam is completed (5-20 seconds), the eye is washed and the flap is placed in place. The eyes are operated on one by one.
Yes, first of all they relate to visual stress at close range (limit for 1 week), going to the gym, swimming pool, sauna (1 month), avoid eye makeup (2 weeks), and also instill anti-inflammatory drops for 2 weeks.
It is necessary to understand that laser vision correction only corrects refractive errors, thus, in the case of concomitant ocular pathology (central retinal dystrophy, amblyopia, cataracts, etc.), it is not possible to achieve high visual acuity.
Distance visual acuity becomes high already on the first day after surgery, near vision is restored on average within a week. The full period of visual rehabilitation after surgery is 1 month.
As a rule, no. However, in some cases, this may occur due to the occurrence of “false myopia” as a result of excessive visual loads at close range or in situations where laser correction was performed against the background of myopia progression, more often at a young age of the patient (18-20 years).
The methods of laser vision correction used at the VOKA Eye Microsurgery Center are unique and do not differ only in name. A different set of consumables is used, different algorithms for laser parameters are used, sometimes requiring painstaking calculations by a surgeon together with an engineer-technician using specialized equipment outside the operating room. In our work, we use the achievements of world leaders in the field of laser vision correction along with our own developments, which have successfully proven themselves in thousands of operations at a number of clinics.
The VOKA Eye Microsurgery Center offers non-resident citizens of the Republic of Belarus a full diagnostic examination, as well as personalized laser vision correction in one day. You can use this service weekly on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Laser correction makes changes to the optical system of the eye, but does not protect against the development of other ophthalmological diseases. If you follow our recommendations during the rehabilitation period and vision hygiene, our intervention allows you to maintain excellent vision for many years of a happy life!
You will see better within 3-4 hours after the operation. During the first days (3-5) the process of vision improvement occurs. Visual acuity may change over several weeks. Within a month, vision is completely stabilized.
Laser correction takes about 10 minutes for both eyes, while the laser treatment itself on our Alcon Wave Light EX500 installation, depending on the degree of ametropia, will take anywhere from 2 to 17 seconds. The patient only feels the drops being instilled and our touches around the eyes; the procedure itself is absolutely painless.
No, laser vision correction is not performed during pregnancy. We recommend not planning a pregnancy within 6 months after the intervention and do not perform correction within 6 months after the baby has finished breastfeeding.
Contraindications to laser correction can be divided into local and general (systemic). Ophthalmological contraindications include chronic inflammatory diseases of the anterior part of the eye (blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, iridocyclitis, uveitis), glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, proliferative retinopathy. General contraindications include systemic diseases (vasculitis, connective tissue diseases, diabetes mellitus), pregnancy.
Why, age over 40 years is not a contraindication to excimer laser vision correction. However, with this group of patients, we discuss in detail age-related changes in accommodation (emerging presbyopia - “age-related farsightedness”), due to which, in the postoperative period, spectacle correction may be required to work at close range.
No, the cost of laser correction does not depend on the degree of refractive error (whether it is nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism). In our Center, by default, personalized (individualized) laser correction is performed to achieve the best quality of vision and increase patient satisfaction in the postoperative period. In addition, in the case of a “thin” cornea, the patient will undergo surgery with an ultrathin flap and/or photochemical prevention of secondary keratectasia for the safety of the intervention in the long term and stable results without any additional payments.

If the patient is registered with specialist doctors, also provide their conclusions, a list of medications that the patient must take on a regular basis, and indicate the prescribed antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants.
