11 февраля 2016

Minsk ophthalmologists carry out the most complex operations. All the latest medical achievements in this area are used primarily in the Republican ophthalmology center that operates on the basis of the 10th clinical hospital.

In addition to laser vision correction, cataract surgery and corneal transplantation, the national ophthalmology center uses other innovative technologies as well.

The entire spectrum of diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases is carried out in Minsk. Every year our ophthalmologists master new technologies that enable automated treatment that saves one of the most important organs of the human senses.

Over the last 5 years the number of functional studies has increased threefold. We are the only country in the post-Soviet space, where there is a law on transplantation of organs and tissues. Due to that the number of corneal transplants has increased by almost 2.5 times.
