Most children are treated without surgery

First — a calm examination. Then the doctor chooses one of three: glasses or night lenses, training on devices, or simply monitoring. Just like with a growing child: most often what’s needed is watching, not intervening.

First

An unhurried exam, nothing touches the eye

The devices don’t touch the eye. For a baby — a toy and a light; for a schoolchild — pictures and a chart. At the end the doctor will say whether anything needs doing. If everything is fine, she’ll say so.

    Glasses or night lenses

    They hold back myopia and give the growing eye a sharp image. The prescription comes from BABY EYE; your child picks the frames at RB OPTICS.

    Training on devices

    A course of sessions on the Visotronic and the synoptophore: your child looks into the eyepieces and the eyes learn to work together. The doctor will say how many sessions are needed.

    Monitoring

    Sometimes the whole treatment is coming back in six months to compare the numbers. If myopia is growing, the doctor advises a check-up twice a year.

    We’ve been seeing Aliya Kairgeldinovna for several years. I bring all my children for check-ups together. Clear, to the point, no waffle and no scaremongering.Gulnar N, 28 January 2025 · review on 2GIS

    How the visit goes
Surgery — only when medically needed. For strabismus, ptosis or blocked tear ducts, RB CLINIC surgeons perform it. You won’t have to look for a surgeon.

Short answers from the children’s doctor — in her own words. Listen before your visit: it makes it easier to decide whether to come now.

Myopia grows fastest in children aged 7⁠–⁠10

“Vision used to get worse at 13–14, in the teenage years. Now, unfortunately, myopia progresses even before school age.”

“In this case the child must be seen twice a year without fail.”

  • 7–10 years
  • unlimited gadgets
  • check-up twice a year
  • glasses or night lenses

A lazy eye can’t be seen from the outside

“No pain, no redness, no squint. You simply don’t see this problem until you check the vision.”

“And if this problem isn’t dealt with before age 7, the vision, unfortunately, may not come back.”

  • no pain or redness
  • treat before age 7
  • check-up once a year
Amblyopia, “lazy eye”

Eyelid swelling: the first 2–3 days decide

“If you can’t see a puncture from an insect bite, please rush to an ophthalmologist straight away, without delay.”

“If the swelling is in its first days, we prescribe drops and ointments, and it simply goes down, that’s it.”

  • the first 2–3 days
  • drops and ointments
  • don’t wait for it to go down

Glasses off

It’s thanks to her treatment that the correction with glasses worked, and the other day my son’s glasses came off with a 120% result … Go and see her, don’t hesitate!

Dina S · 13 May 2025
The treatment helped

She prescribed treatment for my eldest. A month later we came for a follow-up and the result was a pleasant surprise: vision that was only 70% became 100% … My child didn’t need glasses … The treatment helped.

Baby aged 3 months

Our baby had a blocked tear duct, and at just 3 months the doctor helped sort it out quickly and without complications

Her way with children

her way with children is just super, my prickly little hedgehog feels great with her, she’s always on the same wavelength as the kids

Anel Tolzhanova · 22 December 2024
She was scared to go

Aliya Kairgeldinovna is a very competent doctor, she knows how to connect with children... My daughter was scared to go, but came out of the room happy...

Emergency

We recently came in as an emergency. My daughter couldn’t open her eye. They examined her, gave the urgent help she needed, made the right diagnosis and prescribed treatment, and a couple of days later nothing was bothering her!

Questions about BABY EYE CLINIC

Where are children seen?

At BABY EYE CLINIC: 2A Syganak St, Astana, Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 18:00, by appointment. Prescription glasses can be chosen at the RB OPTICS store at 12 Orynbor St.

From what age can we come?

From birth. The first check-up is advised before age one, even if nothing is wrong, then — before nursery, before school and once a year during the school years. Don’t wait for a routine check-up if your child squints, has a turning eye, a watery eye or a swollen eyelid.

How much does a visit cost?

We’ll confirm the visit price on WhatsApp. Write how old your child is and what you’ve noticed — the administrator will give you the price and find a time.

What is device-based treatment?

It’s a course of sessions on the Visotronic and synoptophore devices at BABY EYE CLINIC, with no surgery. The doctor decides after the examination whether a course is needed and how many sessions.

Will my child definitely need surgery?

No. Most children are treated with glasses, lenses or training on devices, or are simply monitored. The doctor will suggest surgery only when it’s medically needed — for example, for strabismus, ptosis or blocked tear ducts. Then RB CLINIC surgeons perform it at 12 Orynbor St: strabismus surgery is done by the clinic’s founder, Academician Bigeldiyev.
