At the OK Center medical center, laser vision correction is performed according to the original N.A.S.A. technique developed by the ophthalmic surgeon Prokipets Armen Tarasovich. This method combines the successful groundwork of such methods as both PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis), simultaneously eliminating their disadvantages. Laser correction operations performed by N.A.S.A. method show results of a better quality of vision. In this case, the risk of complications after them is significantly reduced.

Features of the N.A.S.A. method - New Advanced Surface Ablation

• minimal de-epithelialization (removal of epithelial cells) is carried out: in terms of time and area of ​​effect
• we do not cut the cornea
• cooling of the cornea after laser exposure
• prevention of disadvantages inherent in standard PRK is carried out (postoperative opacity of the cornea, unstable result)
• epithelium returns to its place
• all technologies to reduce complications are implemented compared to PRK and LASIK

Benefits of the WaveLight Laser System

Laser vision correction in the OK Center is carried out on modern equipment from WaveLight company. WaveLight uses only the latest laser technology for manufacturing lasers for optical corneal defects laser correction.

When calculating laser vision correction using the IQ technology method, we get a wider range of options for individual correction of refraction anomalies: the ability to change the diameter of the optical zone up to 0.1 mm, change the transit zone, remove optical defects with an accuracy of 0.1 diopter (in the standard method up to 0.25), and, most importantly, due to the processing of the Q factor, the laser system compensates for the energy loss of the laser beam at the periphery, which allows to achieve excellent refractive results without disturbing of what was created by nature.

Laser vision correction Kharkov, Kiev, Poltava, Sumy

OK Center provides the service of laser vision correction and examination before laser correction. This service is performed by surgeon ophthalmologist, Prokipets Armen Tarasovich.

Short background of the doctor: In 2005 he graduated from St. Petersburg State Medical University (The top institution among those concerned), then he came to his homeland in Kharkov. In the same year, he got a job offer from a start-up Ophthalmic clinic that was opened at the base of the Hirschman hospital.

How does laser vision correction take place?

Surgery is carried out under drip anesthesia that relieves sensitivity. The area of ​​operation is fixed with a special retainer that keeps the eyes open. Then the ophthalmologist forms an area where the laser will work in order to effect on it with a laser beam. After correcting the shape, the cornea is cooled and a protective contact lens is put on. All actions of an ophthalmologist are carefully calculated and accurate to a fraction of a millimeter. The surgeon’s experience is supported by ultra-precise laser equipment that tracks even the smallest changes in the position of the eyeball, correcting the direction of the laser beam exactly to the point that was determined with mathematical rigour. Laser vision correction in Kharkov in the OK Center clinic lasts no more than half an hour. The procedure does not cause discomfort and does not require hospitalization, so the patient can return home on this very day. To speed up recovery and avoid complications, patients should follow the simplest recommendations:

• it is advisable to touch the eyes, rub them, and women should not use cosmetics in the first weeks after correction
• you should refuse to visit the solarium, sauna, bath, taking a hot bath
• it is necessary to limit physical activity
• always use sunglasses when going out

Myths about laser vision correction

Since not all patients in ophthalmologic clinics know what laser vision correction is and how it is performed, the technique is accompanied by numerous myths and delusions.

Myth 1. It will be painful and unpleasant

Modern laser technologies are absolutely painless as they are carried out under drip anesthesia.

Myth 2. The rehabilitation period will be long

As a rule, visual acuity returns the very next day after the procedure, however, in some cases, depending on the lifestyle, condition and age of the patient, normalization of visual functions may take several days

Myth 3. The practical result differs from the promised one

A key advantage of using the N.A.S.A technique is the ability to accurately predict the results of laser vision correction for astigmatism or myopia after completing the diagnosis.

Myth 4. Vision problems will only get worse

Modern laser technology has reduced the possibility of side effects to 0.01%, and high-quality preoperative diagnostics, which can determine intraocular pressure, corneal thickness and the presence of contraindications, bring this index closer to zero. Moreover, the result of exposure to the laser remains unchanged even after several years, therefore repeated vision deterioration does not occur

Myth 5. One will have to give up habitual lifestyle

After the recovery period of laser vision correction is completed, you are able not to limit yourself to sports, visiting a sauna or bath, you do not need to follow a special diet or completely eliminate alcohol.

Myth 6. Laser vision correction for nulliparous girls is not allowed

It hasn’t been a myth until recent times, as according to the methods, an incision was made in the retina, which had never completely grown together and during labor at high pressure, the retina could detach. The modern N.A.S.A. method developed by our leading specialist Armen Tarasovich allows you to do laser vision correction before pregnancy and there will be no negative consequences and risks for your eyes during childbirth.
