Many people are afraid of laser vision correction due to widespread myths. We break down the most common fears and explain how the procedure actually works.

Laser vision correction is one of the most common and safest procedures in modern ophthalmology. Nevertheless, many patients postpone it for years due to fears and misconceptions.

Myth 1: “It is painful” In reality, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the form of eye drops. The patient does not feel pain — only slight pressure. The entire process takes no more than 10–15 minutes.

Myth 2: “Vision will return back” Modern methods — CLEAR and FemtoLASIK — provide stable and long-lasting results. With proper diagnostics and correct method selection, regression is practically excluded.

Myth 3: “It is very expensive” The cost of the procedure pays off within a few years when you consider the expenses for glasses, contact lenses, and their replacements. In addition, SAIF Optima offers various payment options.

If you have been considering surgery for a long time, start with a consultation. The doctor will perform a diagnostic examination and honestly tell you whether laser correction is suitable for you.

An implant is not just about aesthetics — it is the health of the entire jaw. We explain who dental implantation is recommended for and how the procedure is performed at SAIF ProFace.

Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic problem. Over time, neighboring teeth begin to shift, the load on the jaw is distributed unevenly, and this leads to new complications. Dental implantation allows a tooth to be fully restored — from the root to the crown.

Who is dental implantation suitable for? An implant can be placed for almost any adult patient with one or more missing teeth. Before the procedure, the doctor evaluates the condition of the bone tissue and the overall oral health.

How is the procedure performed? First, a detailed examination and a 3D scan of the jaw are carried out. Then, under local anesthesia, a titanium implant is placed. After the healing period — from 2 to 4 months — a crown is installed.

Why titanium? Titanium is a biocompatible material that is not rejected by the body and lasts for decades. Modern implants are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth in both appearance and sensation.

At SAIF ProFace, dental implantation is performed by experienced maxillofacial surgeons using certified implants from world-leading manufacturers.

Many parents do not know at what age a child’s vision and teeth should be checked. We answer the most common questions.

Early detection of vision and dental problems is the key to a child’s long-term health. The earlier a problem is identified, the easier and faster it can be resolved.

Ophthalmologist: at what age? The first visit to a pediatric ophthalmologist is recommended at 1 month of age to rule out congenital pathologies. Then at 1 year, 3 years, and before school. Modern equipment allows vision to be checked even in newborns using a non-contact method — it is completely painless.

Dentist: when is the first visit? The first visit to a pediatric dentist is recommended as soon as the first teeth appear, usually at 6–8 months of age. The goal is not treatment, but getting acquainted with the doctor and preventive care. Children who visit the dentist from an early age tolerate future treatments much more calmly.

Signs that require immediate medical attention:

• The child squints or holds a book too close to their eyes
• One eye is crossed or covered
• Complaints of tooth pain or sensitivity
• Dark spots are visible on the teeth

At SAIF Kids, pediatric ophthalmologists and dentists work who know how to find an approach to every child — even the youngest and most anxious patients.

From September 8 to 12, 2023, Vienna hosted a landmark event for the global ophthalmological community: the 41st Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). Ophthalmologists from around the world participated in the congress, including leading ophthalmologists from SAIF-OPTIMA.

SAIF-OPTIMA specialists learned about the latest developments in ophthalmology, current scientific research, and new inventions, exchanged experiences with colleagues from other countries, and participated in discussions on the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmological diseases, as well as modern surgical options.

Reference: The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) was founded in 1991. ESCRS is the leading organization in Europe for cataract, refractive, and anterior segment surgery. The society has over 7,500 members from nearly 130 countries. ESCRS offers a unique forum for discussion, education, and the dissemination of international expertise among ophthalmologists throughout Europe.

Друзья, мы рады поделиться с Вами кадрами нашего Азиза Баходировича, которого совсем недавно пригласили на Всемирный конгресс по глаукоме в Рим!

CLEAR — наиболее совершенная на сегодняшний день лазерная коррекция зрения с минимальным вмешательством.
Операция проводится через мельчайший (1,8 — 3,8 мм) разрез роговицы, что не требует формирования роговичного лоскута (как при методе LASIK) и повреждения роговичного эпителия (как при методе ФРК).
Данный метод позволяет решить широкий спектр проблем:
— близорукость (миопия) от −0,5 до −10 диоптрий,
— миопический астигматизм от −0,5 до −5 диоптрий,
— близорукость (миопия) и миопический астигматизм от −0,5 до −12,5 диоптрий в сферическом эквиваленте.
Кроме того данная методика подходит спортсменам, военным и другим пациентам, ведущим активный образ жизни.
В нашей клинике CLEAR выполняется на уникальной фемтосекундной лазерной установке Ziemer Femto LDV Z8 (Швейцария).
Также, напоминаем, что каждую пятницу в нашей клинике проходит диагностика для определения возможности проведения фемтолазерной коррекции зрения методом CLEAR с 50% скидкой!

Фемтосекундная лазерная платформа FEMTO Z8 NEO теперь в клинике SAIF OPTIMA!
Данное оборудование представляет собой еще один стандарт инноваций и качества, имея множество преимуществ:
📌 улучшенная производительность — лоскуты FEMTOLASIK с лучшим качеством бокового разреза, хирургия катаракты с более быстрой фрагментацией хрусталика,
📌 идеальная посадка — наконечник SLIM подходит для большинства глаз и обеспечивает превосходную стыковку,
📌 повышенная эффективность — улучшенные интраоперационные ОКТ и TopView Imaging,
📌 повышенная надежность — благодаря новой системе лазерного мониторинга,
📌 простая навигация — благодаря новому интерфейсу программного обеспечения.

Друзья, мы готовы поделиться нашей радостью! В нашей клинике появилось уникальное, не имеющее аналогов в странах СНГ, оборудование iTrace с функцией трассировки лучей (Ray tracing).

Он исполняет роль 5 важных устройств в офтальмологии: аберрометра, авторефрактометра, кератометра, пупиллометра и топографа роговицы.

iTrace позволяет проводить подробное исследование передних отделов глаза, правильно произвести расчет мультифокальной или торической линзы перед имплантацией.
