Ophthalmologists of the Center use the innovative laser units produced by the world-renowned corporation - Carl Zeiss. Combination of 2 laser units allow doctors to perform surgeries faster and avoid complications.
Dr. Solomatin Eye Center: figures
- 15,000 patients
- 54% of patients are 20-30 years old

Superficial laser vision correction
This type of correction includes PRK, LASEK, EPI-LASIK and TRANS EPI-LASIK techniques. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the most widespread kind of superficial laser correction.
Advantages of PRK:
- predictable result;
- technically easy performing;
- low prices;
- possibility to carry out the surgery for patients with thin cornea;
Disadvantages of photorefractive keratectomy (in comparison with other methods):
- developing of complications after the surgery;
- the more prolonged recovery period of vision;
- the sensitivity of eyes within a week after the procedure;
- using the particular contact lenses after the surgery is necessary.
Ophthalmologists of the Hospital provide this type of laser correction to those patients who want to get rid of contact lenses or glasses but have contraindications to other methods of laser correction.
LASIK and Femto LASIK vision correction surgeries
After LASIK surgery a patient receives significant improvement of vision immediately and does not feel any discomfort. The next day after the operation a patient returns home.
Super LASIK is a modification of LASIK surgery. With the help of this method, ophthalmologists may develop the treatment plan for each patient taking into account individual features of patient’s eyes.
Femto LASIK is the most innovative kind of LASIK correction. Specialists provide this technique without incisions. All steps of the operation are carried out only with the laser. Ophthalmologists apply Femto LASIK even in cases of the thin cornea when other types of laser surgeries are impossible.
New methods (ReLEx, SMILE, FLEX)
Ophthalmologists carry out ReLEx, SMILE and FLEX correction surgeries entirely using a femtolaser beam. These techniques help a patient to restore and improve the vision. 80% of eyes tissues are undamaged.
