We perform ophthalmic examinations and give opinions on the interventions for laser diopter correction, presbyopia, implantation of intraocular lenses and other, without the obligation to make the intervention in our clinic.

This examination consists of anterior segment of the eye (control of diopters, allergies, irritations, dry eyes, foreign bodies in the eye) and is recommended for people with already known eye diseases, like a regular checkup.

If the patient wants only preventive vision and eye examination and has no symptoms or previously diagnosed eye conditions,  the patient can schedule this examination.

The subspecialty examination is a more detailed examination and consists of anterior segment examination, diopter determination (new diopter, diopter change, discovering hidden diopter) and examination of the posterior segment of the eye (fundus and optic nerve).

This examination is recommended for people who have not had an eye examination before, as well as for people who have not had an examination for a long time, and have obvious changes in vision.

This examination can also be done at the request of the patient.

Upon recommendation of the ophthalmologist, a check up may be proposed to monitor the eye condition.

Depending on the need, the follow up can be:

• Brief basic inspection of the front segment of the vision;
• Vision and eye examination with posterior segment examination (usually after certain eye interventions);
• Follow up after examination or intervention for laser diopter correction;
• Follow up examination after cataract examination or cataract surgery;
• Follow up after examination or surgery with the installation of multifocal lenses;
• Follow up with additional diagnostic tests, etc.

The follow up is usually performed after a small intervention or surgery.

Also, it serves to monitor the development and stability of the patient’s eye condition as a preparation before a certain eye condition.

Laser diopter correction is the most popular diopter correction method used in the world for more than 30 years and more than 40 million interventions have been performed worldwide.

It is one of the most modern interventions today for laser remodeling of the cornea (anterior transparent surface of the eye) to remove or reduce diopter / cylinder.

The laser diopter correction examination is a kind of systematic examination of the eye because it analyzes every part of the eye and is also a guarantee for the success of the intervention. This examination can be done by patients who want only a detailed examination of the condition of the eye and vision without going through laser diopter correction.

The examination lasts from an hour to an hour and a half and consists of:

• Completing a questionnaire about the patient’s general health;
• Mandatory reading of general information about laser intervention;
• Checking diopters, visual acuity and intraocular pressure;
• Pentacam imaging (3D analysis of the eye is performed and it is used to detect certain abnormalities of the eye for which no symptoms have appeared yet);
• Dilation of the pupils with drops for checking the fundus and objective diopters;
• Consulting the team about anything that might be of interest to the patient.

Preparations for the examination are started by a nurse. The examination continues with the ophthalmologist and the optometrist.

Prior to the examination, it is very important for the patient to rest from wearing contact lenses for a period of time in order to “rest” the cornea of ​​the eye from the lenses. To manifest the real cylinder, i.e. the shape of the cornea without the pressure from the lens.

If the patient wears soft contact lenses, it is necessary to rest for a minimum of three days. If the patient wears semi-hard or hard contact lenses then they need to rest from them for a minimum of 7 to 14 days before the examination. In the meantime they can wear glasses.

Cataract is a clouding of the natural lens that can only be treated with surgery. Although cataracts can be the cause of vision loss, it can be removed with a one-day procedure.

The preoperative examination for cataracts contains the following examinations required for the operation:

• Refraction;
• Determining visual acuity;
• Measurement of intraocular pressure;
• Bottom view;
• Echo;
• Biometrics;
• IOL master.

Preparation for the examination begins with the nurse. The examination continues with the ophthalmologist, and if necessary with an optometrist.

The advantage of our clinic is that the examination and the operation can be done on the same day. No special preparations are required by the patient before the examination.

All examinations that are not included in the ophthalmological examination are charged additionally.
