At the Ophthalmology Clinic, we perform laser vision correction procedures with the use of the excimer. It is one of the most modern equipment of this type in the world. It produces a double beam of rays with the smallest possible diameter (0.5mm), which enables a non contact, extremely precise and accurate correction in a short time. The laser is equipped with an energy stabilization system and an eyeball tracking system in five plans. Thanks to this, undesirable side effects are eliminated.

Laser vision correction surgery is a safe and effective way to get rid of the defect and glasses. It allows you to regain visual comfort quickly.
