And returned part of the money in the deduction account

I have severe myopia, elementary school I wore glasses.

Natalya Zhutova

did laser correction vision

I tried a lot: I went to tricky procedures, did exercises for the eyes, dripped drops, changed glasses for lenses. Nothing helped, and the lenses only got in the way. By the age of twenty, I could barely see the top lines at the optometrist.

When I finally got tired of all this, I decided on laser vision correction. On the recommendations of friends, she turned to a well-known state clinic - and for four years now I can see perfectly without glasses.

What will you learn

How is myopia treated and how is it not treated?

Modern medicine is not yet able to restore vision without surgery. Nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism are various states optical parameters of the eye, in which the ratio of anatomical structures is violated: the eye is too long, short, or it has curved optics. Because of this, a person sees worse.

Natalia Maychuk

ophthalmic surgeon

During a vision correction operation, the surgeon changes the shape of the cornea with a laser according to a pre-calculated program - and brings the optics of the patient's eye to the ideal. Anatomical changes in the eye persist for life, but a person begins to see as if they were not there, and sometimes even better than healthy people.

The operation does not help everyone equally well, because the result depends on the initial state of the eye. And there are contraindications when the operation will not work. But another way to save a person from glasses or lenses has not yet been invented.

Myopia cannot be cured by training and drops. On the Internet and in the media there are stories about the "cure" of myopia, but usually it's about something else. Young people have a so-called spasm of accommodation - this is when the muscles inside the eye tense too much and "forget how" to relax. Muscle spasm causes "false myopia": it is shown by devices and the person really sees worse, but for some time the ratio of anatomical structures in the eye remains normal. If the doctor diagnosed "habitual excessive stress of accommodation" - this is just the case. Most often this happens with those who spend too long on the phone or at the computer.

Muscles can be relaxed with workouts or drops - and vision improves. But this only affects that part of the diopters that arose due to muscle spasm. If changes have already begun in the eye and myopia has developed, they will not help. Therefore, it is wrong to call it a treatment for myopia.

Preparing for the operation

As the doctor explained to me, laser vision correction is not for everyone. For example, myopia should not progress too quickly: no more than 0.5 diopters in six months, and preferably in a year. In addition, the length of the eye should remain the same, whatever that means.

The progress of myopia is assessed according to the medical history, the rest is checked before the operation at the initial examination.

In my clinic, it was possible to undergo an examination under compulsory medical insurance, or you could pay for it. But according to the MHI, everything was booked for two weeks in advance, so I decided to pay. In addition, it turned out that the compulsory medical insurance policy does not cover everything: for example, images of the anterior and posterior surface of the cornea are still made for money. For a paid examination, I laid out 5300 R. According to OMS, it would cost 1300 R.

The survey took up most of the day. Doctors checked the sharpness and field of my vision, intraocular pressure, the shape of the cornea, probably something else. I was asked to look at a point, read the letters, be patient while they put drops in my eyes. The doctor also asked if I wear contact lenses. It turned out that before the operation, the eyes need to rest from them. And if you wear lenses for many years, then the cornea becomes thinner and laser correction can no longer be done.

I did not find any contraindications for laser correction. We discussed the options for operations with the doctor and chose Femtolasiq - this is something in between in terms of complexity and price. The operation was scheduled for the next day.

I left the clinic half-blind: everything was in a fog from the drops, and in order to see the bus number, I had to come close to it. I regretted not asking anyone to pick me up.

Before the operation, I also took three days off from work and agreed that I would be without a computer for a week afterwards. Meetings, discussions yes, emails no. As it turned out later, this was a mistake: I only got under my colleagues' feet. Now I would take this week at my own expense.

Contact lenses and laser correction

Before laser vision correction, we always ask if the patient uses contact lenses and if so, for how long. The operation is performed on the cornea, and the lenses do not have a very good effect on it: they reduce the access of oxygen, “rub”, violate metabolic processes and cellular composition. The sensitivity of the cornea decreases, a tear is produced worse. All this makes it difficult to transfer the operation well and recover quickly.

Natalia Maychuk

ophthalmic surgeon

In addition, recently removed lenses can distort examination data. If the doctor does not know about them, there is a risk that the correction will be less accurate.

Operation day

The operation itself lasted about ten minutes, but I spent almost the whole day in the hospital: from 10 am to 4 pm. They checked my eyesight again, told me what would happen and how, dressed me in a dressing gown and escorted me to the operating room. There, local anesthesia was dropped into my eyes, and they stopped feeling anything, although I could blink.

When the anesthesia worked, I was taken to the operating room, laid on a table and asked not to move. I was afraid that if I moved, the laser would hurt my eyes, but I was reassured: in this case, it would simply turn off. One eye was glued shut, and a spacer was placed on the other. After that, the apparatus was brought up, and it became dark: during the operation, only a pinpoint light was visible. I also felt a slight pressure on my eye - it was unpleasant, but not painful. Then everything was repeated with the second eye.

After the operation, I immediately began to see well, but at first everything was in a fog. Something was dropped into my eyes again, they asked me to sit down, and then my eyesight was checked. After that they were allowed to go home.

On the advice of the doctor, I took sunglasses with me: without them, at first the light seems too bright. The eyes are comfortable in the dark, behind curtains and without a monitor. On the street, I could see well in the distance, but close up everything was still in the fog, so I couldn’t immediately enjoy the result.

The first day after the operation, I was offered to wait in the dark and at rest in the ward for 4750 R. But I turned out to be more prudent than the day before: I was taken from the clinic and taken home. At home, I realized that I rejoiced early: I was not prepared for leisure in the dark and without a computer, so it was very boring.

The doctor advised me to stay away from the phone and computer at first. For a week and a half, the eyes are adjusted to work close, so it’s better not to look at the screens at all. Two weeks you can not paint, go to the pool and generally play sports. It is better not to touch your eyes either - even if it seems that grains of sand have got into them. The first time it should be.

I came to the clinic for two more scheduled examinations: one day and one month after the operation. The first time I was prescribed two types of drops, the second time they checked what came of it. These visits were included in the cost of the operation.

During the year I was asked to come back several times. The first year after the operation, an examination with a consultation cost 1300 R. From the second year, the price rose to 2300 R. It is believed that by this time the eyes have recovered and mandatory examinations are not needed. Therefore, later I had my vision checked at the district clinic, free of charge.

Before the operation, my friends doubted that the vision would last for a long time. So, friends: it depends only on me. After the operation, the surgeon gathered all the patients together and explained: the laser corrected visual impairment, but this does not mean that now we will always see well. At a minimum, you need to get rid of the myopic habit of sticking your nose into the phone, accustom yourself to take breaks from work and master exercises for the eyes. Without this, myopia will increase, and the correction will no longer be enough to compensate for it. Vision will deteriorate again.

Myopia after surgery

Nearsighted people have weakened muscles that are responsible for near vision. This is especially true for those who used glasses with insufficiently strong lenses before the operation or did without them at all. Therefore, the muscles after the operation should be spared and the load should be increased gradually. I ask patients to do nothing at close range for a week, and then switch to a sparing regimen - the only correct one from the point of view of hygiene.

Natalia Maychuk

ophthalmic surgeon

The total load near should be no more than 6 hours a day. After 40 minutes of work, it is worth taking at least a five-minute break with switching your vision to distant objects. If at work you have to constantly look at something close, in the evening your eyes should rest from this.

How much did I spend

Vision correction operations are aesthetic surgery: they are performed at the request of a person, and not for medical reasons. Therefore, they are not covered by compulsory medical insurance, and in 2015 my operation cost 89,800 R, I spent another 10 thousand on examinations and medicines.

Briefly: how to do laser vision correction

1. Check with your doctor. Laser vision correction is an aesthetic operation: you decide whether to do it or not. But it's still an operation, so always listen to what the doctor says.
2. Agree that you will not be anywhere for three days. The first day will be spent on examinations, the second - on the operation, the third you will sit in the dark. Then another week will not work to use the computer.
3. Sign up for an initial inspection. In a state clinic, this can be done according to compulsory medical insurance, but you still have to pay for some studies.
4. On the day of surgery, do what the doctor says.
5. After surgery, do what the doctor says.
6. For the operation to help for a long time, do what the doctor says.
7. Laser vision correction is not done under compulsory medical insurance or a quota, but part of the money can be returned using tax deduction. When you pay, ask to prepare documents for him.

Laser vision correction is a procedure that has ceased to be a curiosity for the population. Today it does not scare the townsfolk. The myths that have accompanied the procedure for a long time have been dispelled. The cost is not so high, and affordable for most. But, nevertheless, for many, a correction performed even on one eye can be a rather expensive procedure, which is why many are wondering about its implementation under the CHI policy.

In general, the compulsory health insurance policy expands its capabilities every year. If earlier it could come in handy, perhaps, only for going to the district clinic, today, according to compulsory health insurance, you can undergo examinations and procedures in some commercial clinics. Dentistry, IVF, just an appointment with a therapist in a paid clinic, and much more is available today under a compulsory health insurance policy. More information about all its capabilities can be found on the MedPravo.su portal.

So is it possible to carry out laser vision correction according to OMS?

And so, such an opportunity. You can carry out laser vision correction in any clinic that provides compulsory medical insurance services. It is not difficult to find out by simply calling the clinic itself and clarifying this point.

I would also like to note that if earlier such an operation was performed only by private medical institutions, today many public hospitals (though, as a rule, only central regional ones so far) also carry out this procedure.

Unfortunately, the insurance company is not ready to pay for such an operation to everyone. Only a certain class of patients (according to the quota) has the opportunity to carry out correction free of charge.

Every citizen who has a compulsory medical insurance policy can take advantage of such a benefit, but only if there are indications for this correction. The decision to allocate a quota is made by the medical commission. That is, if your vision is not perfect, but the defect does not threaten your health, and you just want to improve the quality of your visual functions, you will most likely be denied a quota.

First of all, patients can count on the quota:

With corneal cataract;

Who needs a lens replacement?

with glaucoma;

WITH a high degree nearsightedness or farsightedness;

With injured retina and optic nerve atrophy;

With astigmatism (children);

With congenital anomalies of the eyes.

Unfortunately, certain diseases of the acquired type do not fall under the quota.

labor veterans;

pensioners;

Disabled people;

WWII participants.

It is important to understand that receiving benefits for such an operation does not mean that the operation will be performed immediately. Most often, the patient will have to wait for their turn. This happens due to the high cost of the procedure itself and the high demand for it.

Today, you can get rid of cataracts forever and eliminate its consequences through surgical intervention for free. For these purposes, the state annually issues a fixed number of quotas.

In theory, the procedure for obtaining coupons for free treatment does not look too complicated. In practice, such a process is complicated by huge queues and imperfect legislation in this aspect.

What eye diseases are subject to a quota - who will get a free cataract operation?

A quota for high-tech treatment of ophthalmic ailments can be provided in the following cases:

• Diagnosis of combined eye defects against the background of errors in the structure of the cornea, lens, vitreous body: inflammation of the retina and / or choroid; cysts and neoplasms; hemorrhages.

• Secondary cataract, which led to pathologies of the retina, lens, choroid. In the treatment of such an ailment, a laser is used. At the same time, measures are being taken to eliminate complications.
