The EMC Ophthalmological Clinic (Moscow) successfully implements the most recent advances of the world's best ophthalmological centers.

EMC is one of the few clinics in Russia that has the Intralase femtosecond laser and the newest generation excimer laser, the VISX Star S4 IR. This enables the Vision Correction Center to correct myopia up to -20, astigmatism up to -6, and hyperopia up to +6. Within a few hours, vision is returned.

The clinic's ophthalmologists provide round-the-clock emergency care to patients of all ages, perform therapeutic treatment of retinal and glaucoma illnesses, and execute procedures of any complexity for:

• cataract;
• detachment and pathology of the retina;
• glaucoma;
• pathology of the eyelids;
• strabismus;
• eye injuries.

As part of the EMC Ophthalmological Clinic, there is a nice hospital where patients may receive full-fledged treatment for conditions that necessitate hospitalization (for example, retinal pathologies). Because to the professionalism of the hospital nurses and the anesthesiology service, even patients with severe somatic and chronic disorders can be surgically treated.

The highest level of qualification of ophthalmologists-surgeons, as well as the utilization of cutting-edge technologies and equipment, make it feasible in most cases to limit the patient's stay in the clinic following surgery to one day.

The EMC Ophthalmological Clinic's Vision Correction Center employs world-renowned and effective diagnostic technologies such as ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy, non-contact tonometry, computerized perimetry, ultrasound scanning, non-contact fundusoscopy, and optical coherence tomography.

All conditions for a full-fledged diagnosis and treatment of vision impairment in children have been developed at the EMC Children's Clinic (Moscow, Trifonovskaya st., 26).

The EMC Ophthalmological Clinic's areas of expertise include:

• Treatment of ophthalmic disorders surgically (carried out using seamless methods according to world standards). Specialist qualification and advanced technology allow for simultaneous procedures, even with a mix of lens and retina disease.
• Cataract surgery using ultrasonography and the insertion of soft intraocular lenses. IOLs (intraocular lenses) from the world's leading manufacturers are utilized for these procedures. Through a 2.0-2.2 mm incision, operations are conducted using seamless microinvasive technology.
• Microinvasive drainages are used in the surgical treatment of glaucoma.
• Sutureless high-tech microinvasive surgical therapy of retinal detachment (uncomplicated, as well as complicated cases, accompanied by pathological changes in the vitreous body).
• All kinds of vitreous opacity, including diabetic degenerative diseases, are surgically corrected.
