Since 2004, the SAIF-OPTIMA clinic has been successfully treating cataracts using the internationally recognized method of surgical treatment – phacoemulsification of cataracts for adults and children. And for 20 years, the main tenet of our activity has been the struggle for quality in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, rather than increasing their number.
Today, the clinic offers its patients not only traditional ultrasound phacoemulsification, but also the newest technology of the 21st century – Femtolaser cataract surgery with FEMTO Z8 NEO (Ziemer, Switzerland).
Femtolaser support allows for routine and complex stages of cataract surgery with high accuracy and safety.
About technology
Modern cataract surgery involves femtosecond-laser support of the operation.
In our clinic, we use FEMTO Z8 Neo (Ziemer, Switzerland) – a modern femtosecond laser. Thanks to the use of short pulses with a high frequency, the laser can reduce damage to eye tissues significantly.
FEMTO Z8 Neo —this is not only a laser system, but also high-tech software, with the help of which the doctor programs the stages of the operation. The laser makes it possible to perform complex stages of cataract surgery with high precision, from routine to complex, as well as to perform this operation with greater safety in complicated cases, such as myopia, glaucoma, corneal pathology, pseudoexfoliative syndrome, age-related maculopathy, diabetes mellitus and other pathologies affecting the outcome of the operation.
Advantages of femtolaser cataract surgery:
- Higher accuracy than manual manipulations of the doctor: the probability of error due to the human factor is reduced
- All manipulations are programmed individually, taking into account the anatomy of a particular patient
- Quick rehabilitation: the laser reduces the level of ultrasound used to remove the lens, which makes the procedure less traumatic
- The risk of postoperative complications is reduced
- The ability to operate successfully on complex types of cataracts with greater precision, providing a more stable position of the lens
How is the surgery performed?
The sooner the better!
Firstly, in the later stages of cataract, it is more difficult to choose an artificial lens, which is extremely important for good vision after surgery.
Secondly, performing surgery in the early stages is safer. In the later stages, other diseases may join the cataract, which will complicate treatment.
Thirdly, a timely operation will allow you to lead a full-fledged lifestyle and see the world in a new way.
Stages of treatment
Stage 1
Comprehensive diagnostics
2-3 hours
Stage 2
Operation
20 minutes
Stage 3
Postoperative examination
30 minutes
How is the surgery performed?
- Based on OCT information, corneal access parameters are calculated
- Femtosecond laser creates access to the cornea based on pre-calculated parameters
- Laser capsulorexis is performed: a round hole in the anterior capsule of the lens, which allows access to the substance of the lens. The accuracy of the manipulation is much higher than with the manual manipulations of the surgeon
- The laser beam fragments the lens without affecting the surrounding tissues
- The lens is converted into a liquid emulsion and removed using a special device
- An artificial lens is implanted into the lens capsule
What types of IOLs do we use?
Our clinic uses in its treatment various types of IOLs from two of the largest and most trusted manufacturers – ZEISS and Medicontur.
ZEISS AT LISA
A multifocal lens with optimized aspherical optics, providing contrast sensitivity, depth of field and sharper vision.
ZEISS AT LISA toric
Intended for the treatment of cataracts with simultaneous correction of astigmatism and improved vision in the distance and near. It allows correcting astigmatism with great accuracy and providing the patient with the maximum possible visual acuity.
ZEISS AT LISA tri
The first trifocal intraocular lens designed to improve the real quality of vision at a medium distance. It provides high contrast sensitivity, which improves the patient’s vision in the dark.
Liberty677MY from Medicontur
It is designed to restore vision at close, medium and long range. The special rectangular design of the edge along a 360° circumference prevents clouding of the posterior capsule of the lens.
Benefits of cataract treatment at the SAIF-OPTIMA Eye Clinic
Modern diagnostics
Our patients undergo a complete and high-quality examination using the most modern equipment. We have unique devices for this:
- IOL Master 700 of the famous Carl Zeiss company, which allows you to automatically determine eye’s optical parameters without touching it.
- OCT of the anterior segment on the CASIA2 tomograph (Tomey, Japan) to determine the parameters of the cornea, lens and angle of the anterior chamber.
- EM-4000 Tomey endothelial microscope for counting endothelial cells that ensure corneal transparency, their condition is very important to assess before planning surgery.
Ultra-precise surgery
The clinic has equipped the operating room with a unique set of ophthalmic equipment for even more advanced and maximum safe cataract surgery. This set includes:
The unique state-of-the-art ZEISS CALLISTO eye equipment includes the latest intraoperative navigation and control system for the ZEISS OPMI LUMERA 700 microscope as a whole.
The excellent ZEISS optics and the integrated IDIS system allow using the latest technologies and accurate centering of toric, multifocal intraocular lenses.
Surgical system of the new generation CENTURION Vision System.
Experienced specialists
The operations are carried out by the best specialists:
Saliev Ikbol Fazilovich is a candidate of medical sciences, a doctor of the highest category, a member of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS), who first introduced the phacoemulsification method in Uzbekistan and successfully operated on more than 20 thousand patients.
Mukhamedova Nazokat Ismailovna is a doctor of the highest category, a member of the Turkish Society of Ophthalmologists, who has been successfully operating for 8 years and has several thousand satisfied patients on her account.
Quality of the materials used
We use only high-quality intraocular lenses from leading manufacturers (aspherical, toric, trifocal, trifocal toric, lenses with increased depth of focus EDOF) to replace the removed clouded lens. This ensures the best visual acuity and the highest quality of life after surgery. Such lenses do not require replacement over time and do not have an expiration date.
The choice is yours!
Should you save on your health?
Think about it… isn’t it better to get a new, high-quality vision than to get a new smartphone?
Choose for yourself the latest generation technologies that modern ophthalmology currently has at its disposal.
And the professionals of the SAIF-OPTIMA eye clinic will always help you with this!
