The modern ophthalmologic techniques used in the ophthalmic clinic Excimer CLINIC in Kiev can diagnose abnormalities as refractive errors ( nearsightedness, farsightedness , astigmatism ) , diseases of the eye refractive media ( cornea and lens opacities ),disease and receptor system that occur in glaucoma , diabetes, retinal dystrophy ,
Kyiv Ophthalmic Clinic ' Excimer CLINIC' opened in 1999 over the lifetime of the eye clinic was performed more than 20,000 excimer laser correction and more than 15,000 microsurgical operations . Total clinic was attended by about 60,000 people.This latest generation of diagnostic equipment allows to measure most of the necessary parameters of the eye is completely painless , without touching the surface of the eye . This greatly reduces the risk of any inflammation of the eyes and reduces the procedure of the survey.
Avtorefkeratometr determines the degree of refractive errors ( nearsightedness, farsightedness , astigmatism - a violation of refraction ), measures the radius of curvature of the cornea, pupil diameter (which is needed to determine the area of laser irradiation with excimer laser correction ), the distance between the pupil of the eye .Information obtained by this device is required in the performance of excimer laser correction of nearsightedness , farsightedness and astigmatism ( because when it impacts directly on the cornea) , as well as for calculating the parameters of intraocular lens (with cataract surgery or lensektomii ,which allows you to adjust the high degree of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism),
corneal topographer allows computer for a few seconds to scan the entire surface of the cornea, to measure the topography and the refractive power at each point. The screen of this device the physician sees a three-dimensional image . Powerful computer displays the information in the form of digital features.Surveyor detects the first signs of keratoconus ( disorder in which the change in the shape of the cornea) and some other diseases.
-contact tonometer without touching the surface of the eye , instantly measures the intraocular pressure by means of directed air stream.The traditional way is the same in the instillation of anesthetic and gauging the degree of bending of the cornea under the pressure of the weights , lowered to the surface of the eye , thus it is possible to measure only relative ( tonometric pressure) .
Computer tonograf measures the fluctuations in intraocular pressure, and rate of production of intraocular fluid. Screening for tonografe very important for those who have discovered glaucoma . In this disease the circulation of fluid in the eye is usually broken.
With the help of an ultrasonic A-scan are determined by the size of the anterior chamber , lens thickness , the size of the eyeball and the vitreous body, such information is required during various operations. B-scan ultrasound reveals through the two-dimensional eye injury in cases where they are hidden by the ophthalmologist .For example, a cataract lens loses its transparency . To examine the internal structures of the eye in such a case , resort to using B-scan .
only in Ukraine, the fundus - the camera allows NIDEK 3DXF with the highest accuracy to diagnose the state of the retinal vessels and the entire fundus, as well as provides high-quality automatic shooting ( individual pictures or video series .)
The clinic Excimer lasers are used with a different principle of action - NIDEK EC -5000 ( Japan) and the VISX Star S4 ( USA). Unlike the technical parameters , clinical features and characteristics of these devices provides certain advantages .Lasers with a different principle of action is needed to ensure that the physician could more personalized approach to laser vision correction. During this correction takes into account peculiarities of the visual system and visual activity of the patient.The goal is not only a good visual acuity, but also the visual improvement of the quality of the patient, which is determined by a variety of parameters such as dark adaptation , visual acuity under reduced illumination efficiency when working at the computer or driving at night , etc.
Set for vision correction VISX Star S4 is made in America. In 1996, the organization approved the VISX machine FDA (Food Drug Administration). It allows for use in clinical practice in the U.S. medical equipment only after the mandatory three-step experimental and clinical trials , lasting five years or more.To date, using lasers VISX have been more than 2. 000. 000 corrections. VISX has become one of the first lasers approved by the FDA for clinical use.VISX Star S4 laser is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism , as well as similar aberrations ( distortion) of a higher order , which distinguishes this particular model . To obtain the necessary data before this correction is applied a special diagnostic tool Wave-scan ( aberrometer ).It allows you to simulate a new corneal surface , the best way to compensate for any existing violations of Optics eyes . While the VISX Star S4 laser equipped with a leading clinics of the world, and for Ukraine it's just an exclusive. The accuracy of its impact is tens of times higher than that of other lasers.The tracking system of this model detects the slightest fluctuations in the eye that occur in many different directions (the system is not two, but three-dimensional ), and takes them into account during the correction. Reliability ensures the patient a very high level of protection.
Set for vision correction NIDEK EC- 5000 made in Japan.Its laser beam has the shape of ' scanning slit . \],[],[NIDEK EC- 5000 is equipped with a system efficiency saving gas , and therefore has a high stability characteristics of the radiation .
For the selection of laser correction program in diagnostic testing includes determination of wavefront eye which is unique as a fingerprint, unique to the Ukraine for the instrument Wave-scan ( aberrometer ).It identifies all the available optical distortions ( aberrations ) to compensate for them during the correction for best results .
The excimer laser correction depends not only on the laser, but also on such an important instrument, as a microkeratome .It is necessary for excimer laser correction of the most modern method of LASIK. When such exposures are not correcting the outer layers of the cornea and the inside . In order to separate tissue from the surface, and need a microkeratome . In Kiev clinic ' Excimer ' are two microkeratome world famous firm 'Moria'.She was among the first to produce no manual , and automatic models, which helped to minimize the risks during the excimer laser correction . The latest model 'Moria evolution 2' takes into account many nuances and individual approach to the selection of program correction. This allows for optimal patient outcome.
Argon laser makes it possible to treat degenerative and inflammatory retinal detachment with her , with myopia , diabetes , inflammation and thrombosis, retinal vessels, retinoshizise , as well as in the treatment of degenerative disorders macular area and in certain types of glaucoma.Its presence allows for virtually all of the laser interventions in the fundus , known to date .
Surgical YAG-laser is successfully used in the treatment of secondary cataracts, glaucoma and certain types of effects in the treatment of inflammatory and traumatic processes in the anterior and posterior segment eye .It allows , without introducing into the eye to remove connective tissue Schwarte , bands , turbidity , perform basal coloboma .
When an operation to remove the lens and in complex vitreoretinal surgery at the clinic is used multi Excimer oftalmohirurgicheskaya Millennium system ( Baussh Lomb).With the help of this system is carried out , in particular preserving surgery for cataract - phacoemulsification with implantation of foldable lenses. This equipment allows us to carry out surgical intervention as the front and the rear segment of the eye.We are talking about including vitreoretinal surgery, which in recent times is increasingly in demand. However, this type of microsurgical operations in few places do, as it requires the highest level of professionalism of doctors and special equipment.The system is equipped with a built- Millenium computer technology for tracking operations , and telling the surgeon with voice or display the slightest deviation . With this system reduces the time of the operation, it provides a higher degree of reliability.
IOL- Master - a new generation device , while measuring the length of the eye, the curvature of the cornea, anterior chamber depth . One of the main functions of the device - the calculation of parameters of intraocular lens .IOL Master can perform high-precision selection of artificial lens in just 1 minute ! Such a lens used in cataract surgery and the correction of high degrees of nearsightedness and farsightedness. IOL- Master is also used for the study of children with myopia .
Medical equipment used in the ophthalmic clinic ' Excimer CLINIC', is world class and has all necessary certificates . Maintenance of equipment is done directly by the manufacturer , which provides an ideal state of all medical equipment.
