You look at a picture inside the device — in seconds it measures minus, plus and astigmatism on its own.
The starting point: the whole visit builds on this number.
Visual acuity
Those familiar symbols on a screen, one eye at a time.
It shows how sharply you see now and what has changed since last time.
Eye pressure — no contact
A short puff of air instead of touching the eye — unpleasant for exactly one second.
You can’t tell this number by how you feel or from a letter chart.
Gonioscopy: the angle of the anterior chamber
The doctor places a gonioscopy lens (a Goldmann lens) on the eye and looks at the angle where the eye drains fluid. The pupil does not need to be dilated for this — the drops are for the next step, the back of the eye.
The angle is checked before glaucoma develops and before laser treatment: it shows whether the fluid drains freely.
Finding your glasses prescription
Lenses in the phoropter are swapped until the symbols look sharp.
You leave with an exact prescription, and the RB OPTICS optician is on the ground floor, next to the main lobby.
Back of the eye
Through the dilated pupil the doctor looks at the retina and the optic nerve.
Without drops this area can’t be seen — that’s exactly why the pupil is dilated.
Slit lamp
A narrow beam of light and magnification: the cornea, the lens and the tear film, each on its own.
This shows what you’d never notice in a mirror.
Pentacam corneal map
The device maps the thickness and shape of the cornea at every point.
From this scan the surgeon tells you whether laser correction suits you and which kind. Keratoconus shows up here too.
ARGOS biometer: calculates the power of your future lens
The device measures the length of the eye and the curve of the cornea — these numbers give the power of the artificial lens.
The lens is chosen for your eye, not for an “average” one.
Topcon ALADDIN: cross-checking the lens calculation
The second device measures the eye and builds a corneal map — the calculation made on the ARGOS is checked against it.
How you’ll see after surgery depends on how accurate this calculation is.
Visual field
Quick visual field test
You look at one point and press a button whenever you notice a flash at the side.
It checks not just what’s straight ahead, but the edges too.
2A second pressure reading
Maklakov tonometry
Pressure is measured once more, another way — after numbing drops.
If glaucoma is suspected, one number isn’t enough.
Edges of the visual field
Quick “glaucoma test” visual field check
A short visual field test: flashes at the edges, you answer with a button.
With glaucoma, what matters is how you see at the edges — that’s what is checked.
The eye, layer by layer
Front and back OCT
A layer-by-layer scan of the eye: the front section, the retina and the optic nerve.
The doctor sees layers no lamp can show.
Talk with the doctor
The doctor brings all the numbers and scans together in one conversation.
Not a printout handed over, but an explanation: what’s going on with your eyes and what to do about it.
For glassesIn this packageSwipe — this is your visit
Autorefraction
You look at a picture inside the device — in seconds it measures minus, plus and astigmatism on its own.
The starting point: the whole visit builds on this number.
Step 1 of 8 · all included in the price
20,000 ₸per visit · follow-up — 13,000 ₸ per visit
For glasses — 3 steps out of 8. That’s usually where a free check at an optician ends.
8steps in one visit, the talk with the doctor comes last
13,000 ₸per visit: a follow-up, if something needs checking again
2 hoursfor diagnostics before laser correction: six stages
70,560+eye and eyelid surgeries performed at the clinic
Eye diagnostics in brief
Eye diagnostics at RB CLINIC (12 Orynbor St, Astana) cost 20,000 ₸ per visit: eye pressure, the back of the eye, lens fitting and a talk with the doctor in one visit. Before laser correction, before cataract surgery and for glaucoma it is also 20,000 ₸ per visit. A follow-up visit costs 13,000 ₸ per visit.
Why pay when an optician checks for free
How eye diagnostics differs from a free check at an optician
An optician checks which glasses will suit you. Eye diagnostics finds out why your vision changed and whether the eye is healthy. It’s the difference between a tyre shop that pumps up your tyre and a mechanic who finds out why it keeps going flat. Glasses fix sharpness, but they won’t tell you what’s happening with your eye pressure, retina and optic nerve.
1
Glasses are just three steps out of eight
Autorefraction, visual acuity and a glasses prescription are available at a good optician too. The other five — eye pressure, gonioscopy (the angle of the eye), the back of the eye, the slit lamp and the talk with the doctor — are why people see an ophthalmologist.
2
The time goes on the drops, not on queuing
The back of the eye can only be seen with a dilated pupil, and the drops take a while to work. Before laser correction, diagnostics takes two hours: six stages and a corneal scan — because it can’t be redone after surgery.
3
A doctor gives you the result, not a piece of paper
The doctor’s consultation is part of the visit — it’s a line in the price list, not a bonus. You’re told what the devices showed and what to do about it.
If everything’s fine, we’ll say so: there’s nothing to treat. That’s a result worth coming for too. A full eye check once a year costs less than catching up on what was missed.
How much eye diagnostics costs in Astana: four packages
The price depends not on the doctor, but on why you’re coming. Every package has the same core — the eight steps of a full exam. Before laser correction, and for cataract or glaucoma, tests you need to make a decision are added to it. Not sure which one is yours? Take the first — the doctor will tell you if you need more.
Check my vision
Full eye exam
Once a year for everyone; your eyes are tired by evening, your minus is growing, you need new glasses.
20,000 ₸per visit
Follow-up — 13,000 ₸ per visit
What’s included: autorefraction, visual acuity, no-touch eye pressure, gonioscopy (the angle of the anterior chamber through a Goldmann lens), lens selection, the back of the eye, slit lamp, a talk with the doctor.
You want to be rid of glasses, or you’ve been sent to have your cornea checked for keratoconus.
20,000 ₸per visit
Follow-up — 12,000 ₸ per visit
On top of the full exam: a Pentacam corneal map and autokeratometry. From the scan the surgeon tells you whether laser correction is possible for you and which method.
A doctor said “cataract”, everything looks foggy, and it’s time to calculate a new lens.
20,000 ₸per visit
Follow-up — 15,000 ₸ per visit
On top of the full exam: lens calculation on ARGOS and Pentacam, a quick visual field test. Without this calculation the lens can’t be matched to your eye.
Glaucoma runs in the family, your eye pressure is high, or a doctor told you to get checked.
20,000 ₸per visit
On top of the full exam: Maklakov pressure, a quick “glaucoma test” visual field check, front and back OCT. On its own, one OCT of both sections costs 18,000 ₸ for both eyes — here it’s already included.
Prices are from the clinic’s price list, per visit. A follow-up is shorter: it includes autorefraction, visual acuity, eye pressure and the doctor’s consultation.
Sound familiar?
Who should get their eyes checked
Before anything hurts, it already shows up on the device. Below — what people notice in themselves and the most common reasons they come for eye diagnostics.
Your temples ache by evening
You hold your phone further away than a year ago
Your minus grows every year
You’re over 40
Your parents have glaucoma or cataract
Diabetes or high blood pressure
Your schoolchild has started sitting closer to the TV
Recognise yourself in even one of these? That’s reason enough to come once and know for sure. A full eye exam is 20,000 ₸ per visit. For children — see a paediatric ophthalmologist.

Перед блефаропластикой меня направили на диагностику и консультацию офтальмолога. Сначала даже не думала, что перед такой операцией нужно настолько внимательно проверять глаза. Мне понравилось, что здесь к таким вещам относятся серьёзно и в первую очередь думают о здоровье пациента, а не просто о самой операции. После посещения осталось очень хорошее впечатление.

Your result comes from the ophthalmologist — the one who examined your eye. Five doctors run diagnostics at the clinic. If you need surgery later, you already know who you’re going to.
Dyusenbayeva Zhanerke Allabergenovna
Ophthalmologist, full eye exams
Runs the full eye exam: from the first device to the talk about what they showed.
There’s hardly anything to prepare — just don’t drive afterwards. Four things that make the visit calmer and more accurate.
Your pupils will be dilated — no driving afterwards
Come by taxi or with someone who can drive. Bring sunglasses: after the drops, daylight will be dazzling.
Take out contact lenses in advance
A lens changes the shape of the cornea, and the device readings won’t be accurate. How many days before, the administrator will tell you when you book: before laser correction the timing is different.
Bring your old glasses and medical notes
Past prescriptions, reports, the names of any drops you use. The doctor will compare and see how your vision has changed.
How long it takes
Before laser correction — two hours. For other packages, the administrator will tell you the time when you book.
Honestly, before you book
If the doctor finds a reason: further tests and treatment
The visit price covers every step of it. There are no extra charges during the visit. If the doctor needs to look deeper, a test is booked for another day — and you already know its price.
If you only need your visual acuity, there is a visual acuity test — a letter-chart check, 1,500 ₸ per test. But a single letter chart won’t tell you what a full exam will about your eye.
Tell us why you’re coming and the administrator will pick a time and a package. Not sure which one you need? — start with the full exam: the doctor will tell you if you need more.
Devices: minus, acuity, pressure
Drops and a back-of-the-eye exam
Finding your glasses prescription
Talk with the doctor
full exam 20,000 ₸ per visitbefore LVC 20,000 ₸ per visitcataract 20,000 ₸ per visitglaucoma 20,000 ₸ per visit
How much does eye diagnostics cost, and are there extra charges?
A full eye check — 20,000 ₸ per visit, a repeat visit — 13,000 ₸. Before laser vision correction and for keratoconus, cataract and glaucoma — 20,000 ₸ per visit. Every step of the visit is included in the price. Further tests such as OCT are prescribed separately and only if the doctor sees a reason, on another day and at the list price.
How is your exam different from a free one at an optician?
An optician checks which glasses suit you: minus, visual acuity, lenses. Eye diagnostics adds what people see an ophthalmologist for: eye pressure, gonioscopy (the angle of the eye) and the back of the eye with a dilated pupil, a slit-lamp exam and a talk with the doctor about what they saw.
Eye test, eye examination, computer diagnostics — what is the difference?
The names differ, but people are looking for the same thing: whether their eyes are all right. “Computer” diagnostics usually means the check on instruments: an autorefractometer measures the minus or plus, a tonometer the pressure in the eye. It is an important part, but without a dilated pupil and a doctor it won’t show the back of the eye. A full eye test at RB CLINIC is the instruments, a back-of-the-eye exam and a talk with the doctor in one visit, 20,000 ₸ per visit.
Why does diagnostics take longer than at an optician?
To see the back of the eye, the pupil is widened with drops, and they take a while to work. Before laser correction, diagnostics takes two hours: six stages and a corneal scan on the Pentacam. The time goes on tests, not on queuing.
Can I drive after the visit?
Better not: after the drops that widen the pupil, everything is blurry for a while and light is dazzling. Come by taxi or with someone who can drive, and bring sunglasses.
Will a doctor explain the result, or will I get a printout?
A doctor explains it. The talk with the doctor is the last step of the visit and is included in the price. You’re told what the devices showed and what to do next. If everything’s fine, you’ll be told so.
I wear contact lenses — what should I do?
Take them out in advance: a lens changes the shape of the cornea, and the measurements won’t be accurate. How many days before, the administrator will tell you when you book — before laser correction the timing is different.
Which package should I choose if I’m not sure?
Start with the full exam for 20,000 ₸ per visit. If the doctor sees that you need a lens calculation, an OCT or a corneal scan, you’ll be told. If you already know about a cataract or glaucoma, or you want laser correction, take your package straight away: it has the tests you need.
If I need surgery, what happens next?
The doctor explains which surgery you need and why. At RB CLINIC we do lens replacement for cataract, laser vision correction, and glaucoma and keratoconus treatment — in the same building at 12 Orynbor St. The decision stays with you.
