Program "Freedom from Glasses 45+": Premium-Class Vision at "Center Oka"

3 minutes of reading for a full understanding of the matter @ Teslenko O.S. Head of Center Oka

• Result? Complete independence from glasses for life
• Risks? Officially — a low-risk intervention. We see all possible risks during the diagnostic phase and will definitely inform you if there are any
• Limitations? No limitations after full recovery. In the first 2-3 weeks, restrictions apply to heavy physical exertion. Driving — usually from the third day. Visual loads without any restrictions from day one
• Replacement and maintenance later? Not required
• Possibility of vision improvement if it changes over time? It exists — laser capsulotomy of the old lens capsule (20-30% of cases, performed once 1-5 years after the procedure), laser vision enhancement to eliminate refractive errors (1-1.5% of patients, performed once, no earlier than 6 months after the intervention)
• Why not laser vision correction? It does not correct age-related changes, only those that existed throughout life
• Can imperfections be fixed if they do occur? Absolutely — yes. Laser vision enhancement and laser capsulotomy are quick procedures that resolve potential flaws

The lens must be transparent and flexible. For some it happens at 45, for others at 35 or 50, but over time, everyone's lens becomes so dense that it loses both part of its transparency and the ability to change shape. The near vision distance gradually disappears and becomes inaccessible without optical help. This process is called "presbyopia" or "age-related farsightedness". If you already wore glasses before this, the situation worsens faster and much more dramatically

Because "presbyopia" is a natural age-related process. It cannot be reversed, improved with drops, exercises, or laser vision correction of the cornea

The artificial lens is completely transparent, selected individually for your eye and lifestyle

No. An ideal lens for everyone does not exist. There can only be the best solution for a specific person and the anatomical parameters of their eyes

A higher price does not mean a better result. Selecting a lens is a complex and highly technological process realized exclusively during an in-depth computer examination

Cataract removal is always performed using phacoemulsification, with the most advanced equipment—phacoemulsification machines.

• 12 D Kopernika Street—CENTURION Vision System + ACTIVE SENTRY (Alcon, USA)—the world’s most popular premium-class device, proven over the years
• 22 Zakrevskogo Street — EVA NEXUS (DORC, Switzerland) — every ophthalmic surgeon’s dream, a state-of-the-art surgical system, of which there are 3 in Ukraine as of this publication

The surgeons’ experience and skill, combined with cutting-edge technology, have made 5-minute procedures the norm and reduced the rate of postoperative complications to 0.62%

The most modern diagnostic and therapeutic systems ensure exceptional accuracy, multi-stage protection, and control over every stage

• Alcon Argos (USA): next-generation optical biometer
• Oculus Pentacam (Germany): the gold standard for topography of the anterior segment of the eye, creating a three-dimensional digital map of the eye's optical media
• Alcon Centurion Vision System (USA): the smartest surgery system in the world, automatically controlling intraocular pressure stability in real-time — this minimizes eye tissue trauma
• D.O.R.C. EVA: premium European transplantation platform with a revolutionary fluid flow control system — provides the surgeon with complete control and delicacy of manipulation even in the most complex clinical cases

1. Stage — 360-Degree Examination to detect all anatomical features of the eye — a standard initial consultation at Center Oka takes up to 1,5 hours
2. Stage — In-depth Examination and Selection of the Optimal Artificial Lens Model — takes up to 40 minutes, conducted without extra charge on the day of consultation, sometimes an additional visit is required for a more precise calculation
3. Stage — The Intervention Itself. Preliminary medical tests are not required under the current protocol, total stay at the clinic is up to 2 hours, 15-20 minutes in the operating room, the lens replacement itself takes just 5-7 minutes. Without pain, without injections. No need to endure anything, just follow the surgeon's instructions
4. Stage — Recovery. Mandatory examination on the next day after surgery, followed by 2-4 follow-up checks without pupil dilation over 1-1,5 months. The patient's primary task is to apply the provided eye drops and follow prescriptions

Return to work (excluding heavy physical loads) — second or third day

Removal of all restrictions — after 1-1,5 months. No restrictions on air travel apply from day one

• Neuroadaptation: The brain must get used to the new image. Distance and intermediate vision are usually established immediately. About 5-7% of patients require more time for adaptation to near vision. This process is individual but generally predictable, and we will definitely warn you about it during the lens calculation phase
• Optical Effects: A lot has been written about glare and various optical effects after lens replacement, especially at night. Firstly, this is temporary and passes within a few months during adaptation; secondly, these are the same effects that occur with glasses, just less pronounced, so nothing new will happen to you
• "Floaters": Much is also said about floaters swimming in the field of vision after the intervention. Usually, this is the unmasking of vitreous opacities that were present before but became visible due to the ideal transparency of the new artificial lens. Up to 90% of patients notice them at one month, and only 3% continue to notice them after 9 months. The reason is the exact same gradual neuroadaptation of the brain

No surcharges or hidden payments — the cost includes everything: from high-precision computer calculation to a full set of medications and 1,5 months of post-operative follow-up

If your specific case requires non-standard solutions, there is a fixed cost for additional surgical packages ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 UAH, which we will definitely warn you about and justify during the preparation stage

What does the cost of surgery depend on?

On the complexity of the lens optical system. The more complex the architecture of the artificial lens, the more expensive the intervention. Within one lens model name, there can be up to 10 variations with different prices

How to compare the cost of surgery at Center Oka with other clinics?

After selecting the artificial lens, you will receive a specific model with a precise factory code. Compare not just the brand name, but this exact coding. If another clinic's price list states only an abstract "from" — an objective comparison is impossible
