Advantages of treatment at SHÉVCHYK Vision Space

Diagnostics before decisions

An examination should give the doctor the information needed to make a diagnosis and choose further treatment. So the number of tests in itself is not a measure of the quality of diagnostics.

Technology as the doctor’s tool

Modern equipment helps obtain precise data, plan treatment and monitor its results. But technology works together with the specialist’s clinical experience, not instead of it.

From diagnostics to recovery

Consultation, the necessary diagnostics, treatment and result control form a consistent patient pathway.

An honest conversation about treatment options

We explain not only the advantages of the recommended method, but also its limitations and possible alternatives.

How vitrectomy is performed

Access

The surgeon enters the inner cavity of the eye through ultra-fine punctures.

Removal of the vitreous body

The altered or clouded vitreous body is removed completely or partially with a vitrector.

Flattening the retina

The retina is pressed back into place, and tears are sealed with laser coagulation.

Tamponade

The eye cavity is filled with gas (which resolves on its own) or silicone oil (which requires a second operation to remove).

  • Patient
    Lower eyelid blepharoplasty

    Today I saw my cosmetologist and realised I don't regret any of the things I've had done. I don't think I'm losing my identity, and I'm definitely not obsessively chasing perfection. My best decision was the blepharoplasty (removing the fat bags under my eyes).

Recovery and result

After surgery

  • A special face-down head position must be maintained during the rehabilitation period.
  • The gas resolves within 10–20 days; silicone oil is removed in a second operation after a few months.
Result
  • The goal is to relieve vitreous traction, close the tear and secure the retina in order to preserve vision.
  • In haemophthalmos, vitrectomy restores the clarity of the eye.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I start if I don’t know which service I need?

Start with a consultation. The ophthalmologist will assess your complaints and the condition of your eyes and decide whether further diagnostics are needed. If your question concerns aesthetic medicine, the administrator will help you book the right specialist.

Do I need full diagnostics before every consultation?

No. The scope of the examination is determined by the doctor based on your complaints and the results of previous visits.

Can I have a consultation and diagnostics in one place?

Yes. Consultation, diagnostics and treatment take place within one centre, often in a single visit.

Is laser vision correction suitable for everyone?

No. Suitability is determined by diagnostics: corneal thickness, vision stability and concomitant conditions.

Can I come for a preventive eye check-up if nothing bothers me?

Yes, and it is worth doing regularly — some eye diseases have no symptoms in the early stages.

How do I book an appointment?

Fill in the form on the website or call the administrator — they will choose a doctor and a convenient time for you.
