Modern and most effective methods of astigmatism treatment in Israel
Optical correction. In cases of mild astigmatism or contraindications to laser surgery, methods of optical vision correction using glasses or lenses can be employed. Accurate diagnosis is crucial in this regard. It is quite difficult to precisely determine the manifestations of astigmatism using traditional methods, especially in children and young individuals. In this category of patients, defects in the optical system may be masked by muscle tension. Selecting inappropriate optics will not only fail to eliminate the pathology but may also exacerbate it.
Keratomileusis. The most popular and effective method of treating astigmatism is laser keratomileusis. During this procedure, the ophthalmic surgeon uses a special device called a microkeratome to separate a flap of corneal epithelial tissue, bends it back, and, using a laser on the inner layers of the cornea, gives them the necessary shape. The flap is returned to its place and is fixed by the cornea's own collagen. After this, typical refraction of rays occurs, focusing them on the retina. As a result, the image becomes clear.
The procedure is entirely painless and safe. It is performed under local anesthesia. There is no need for stitches or hospitalization. After keratomileusis, the eye is rinsed with a special solution. And within a couple of hours after correction, vision begins to recover. The completion of this process occurs within 3-5 days. The patient can return to their usual lifestyle in a short time.
Femto-LASIK. This procedure involves the use of a femtosecond laser during the formation of the corneal flap. The femtolaser uses pulsed infrared light to affect the upper layers of the cornea and creates a very smooth surface at the separation boundary. This allows for the modeling of the flap with great precision.
This technique enables laser correction of astigmatism in individuals with certain corneal anomalies, with "dry eye syndrome," and other defects in the eye's optical system, where the use of a conventional microkeratome is contraindicated.
Astigmatomy. This is a surgical method for eliminating astigmatism, where micro-incisions are made to weaken the stronger meridian of the cornea.
Using special diagnostic equipment, a clear topographic map of the cornea is created, allowing for the evaluation of its refractive power and thickness at all points. The procedure is performed on modern specialized equipment. It is safe and painless. The recovery period for vision after astigmatomy is longer than after laser correction.
This treatment method is used for mixed astigmatism and in some other contraindications to laser correction.
Lensectomy – refractive lens replacement. In some cases, lensectomy is the only option to restore vision.
At Top Ihilov clinic, refractive lens replacement with an intraocular lens is performed by experienced ophthalmic surgeons. The operation is conducted under local anesthesia, which is well tolerated by individuals of all ages, and is completely painless. It lasts only 15-20 minutes.
Through a micro-incision, with a diameter not exceeding 1.8 mm, the previously softened lens is removed. An artificial lens, folded and selected strictly according to the individual characteristics of the patient's optical system, is implanted in its place. The intraocular lens unfolds on its own inside the eye and is securely fixed in place of the removed lens.
Trauma during the operation is minimized. The incision can be made with a femtosecond laser. Stitches are not required, as the tissues self-seal.
Accurate diagnosis – the beginning of the path to health
Successful treatment of astigmatism in Israel, as reported by patients from different countries, begins with thorough diagnostics. Thanks to the combination of innovative technologies and the professionalism of specialists, it is conducted quickly and efficiently. Most often, this takes no more than three days. Modern diagnostics of astigmatism in Israel allows for 100% accuracy.
First day – consultation with the leading specialist of the clinic
From the airport, accompanied by a curator-translator, the patient goes to Top Ihilov clinic. Here, they will have their first consultation with the leading ophthalmologist of our medical institution. After reviewing the medical history, the doctor conducts a primary examination and prescribes the necessary diagnostic studies.
Second day – diagnostics and examinations
The patient undergoes a series of studies, the results of which will help develop an individual treatment protocol. These include:
- visometry – study of visual acuity;
- computerized keratotopography – study of the cornea's features and refractive parameters;
- ultrasound of the eyeball;
- skiascopy – determination of the type and degree of refraction;
- tonometry – measurement of intraocular pressure;
- ophthalmometry – determination of the radii of curvature of the cornea in dim light and other studies.
The use of modern technologies allows for comprehensive examinations to be conducted quickly and efficiently. Sometimes without waiting for certain laboratory results that require additional time.
Third day – selection of an effective treatment program
At the final stage, a group of specialists led by the leading ophthalmologist of the clinic discusses possible treatment methods. This collegial approach allows for the selection of the most effective one in each specific case.
Astigmatism treatment in Israel – prices lower than quality
One of the main advantages of medicine in Israel is its accessibility. Adequate prices for quality examinations and highly qualified medical services attract tens of thousands of people from around the world. Astigmatism treatment in Israel, the cost of which is loyal, has been undergone by thousands of patients from CIS countries.
Prices for medical services at Top Ihilov clinic are 30-50% lower than in medical institutions of the same level in Germany and the USA. At the same time, the level of service and comfort often exceeds global standards. At Top Ihilov clinic, patients have access to all the most effective modern methods of astigmatism treatment in Israel and global practice.
