Ophthalmologists told about laser vision correction

Visual impairment and retinal pathology are quite common today, regardless of a person’s age. Ophthalmologists told about how often it is worth visiting an ophthalmologist and the myths of laser vision correction.

Tatiana Kasmynina, an ophthalmologist and laser surgeon at the Presnya CDC, recommends visiting an ophthalmologist at least once a year for preventive purposes: “100% vision does not mean the absence of problems with the retina. Sometimes patients come to an appointment for preventive purposes or with initial complaints, and despite good vision, various pathologies can also be found in them. But if we take a patient in the early stages of the disease, we can slow down the development of the disease or even completely stabilize the patient’s condition with the help of laser correction.”

“Retinal detachment is a time bomb,” says Anna Semakina, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Head of the Ophthalmology Department at the Open Clinic. “Local retinal detachment or its rupture can subsequently lead to total detachment, so we remind you of the importance of prevention, because today there is everything to prevent the development of such diseases.”

Ophthalmologist Tatyana Kasmynina also adds that modern laser methods are completely painless: “Operations are fast – they last from 5-15 minutes. And for 40 years of work, I have seen complications after the laser extremely rarely, so you should not be afraid of it. ”
