Laser eye treatment in Astana

from 50,000 ₸per eye · price depends on the laser

The beam passes through the pupil: no incision, no stitches, no injections. A few minutes at the device — and you go about your day.

What’s bothering you

Treatment, not vision correction

What laser eye treatment is

Laser treatment means the doctor works inside the eye with a beam of light, not an instrument. The beam passes through the pupil and lands exactly where the problem is: the cloudy film behind the lens, the iris, the vitreous or the retina. Nobody touches the eye from outside — like a torch shining through a window onto the far wall without touching the glass.

1

No incision, stitches or injections

Drops numb the eye and drops widen the pupil. You sit at the device, just as at a routine slit-lamp check.

2

Minutes, not hours

The procedure itself takes from 2–3 to 10 minutes. You spend longer waiting for the drops to work than sitting at the laser.

3

Treats the eye, rather than replacing glasses

Laser vision correction is something else: it reshapes the cornea so you can see without glasses. Here the laser treats eye disease. Laser vision correction

Dr. Karibayev at the laser: eye treatment with no incision, including for diabetes

To be honest: laser doesn’t always improve vision — sometimes it protects it. Laser clears the haze of secondary cataract and floaters. With a retinal tear, glaucoma or diabetes it stops things getting worse: no laser can bring back what is already lost. That’s why it isn’t put off.
Which laser you need

Six methods in one room

What we treat with laser at RB CLINIC

Find what’s bothering you — and you’ll see the method, the time and the price straight away. All six procedures are done by a laser surgeon at 12 Orynbor Street. Whether you need laser, and which one, he will tell you after examining the back of the eye.

Haze years after lens replacement

Secondary cataract: YAG laser capsulotomy

The veil after lens replacement is cleared in 2–3 minutes — with laser, no incision.

The artificial lens doesn’t cloud over. The thin capsule film it sits in does, and years later the haze returns. The ZEISS VISULAS YAG III laser opens a window in the film — and your vision is as it was in the first days after surgery.

Like peeling the cloudy film off a new phone screen: the screen was fine, only the film was in the way.

  • 15 min drops for the pupil
  • 2–3 min laser
  • right away to work, to friends, even to the sauna

No drops needed afterwards; life goes on as before.

80,000 ₸per eye

If your cataract surgery was done at RB CLINIC: the laser is free in the first 3 months after the operation.

Cataract treatment in Astana

Over 38, poorer near vision, headaches

Glaucoma: laser iridotomy

Iridotomy prevents an acute glaucoma attack — without surgery.

An acute attack is a condition in which sight can be lost within a couple of hours, for good. Warning signs: age 38 or over, worsening near vision, headaches — most often at the temple, the back of the head or above the eyebrows. The laser makes a tiny opening in the iris, and the fluid inside the eye drains freely again.

Like the overflow drain in a bath: the water no longer spills over the edge.

  • 30–40 min drops to prepare
  • 5–10 min laser
  • right away the headache eases

First the doctor checks whether you need it. No restrictions afterwards — you can get on with your day.

100,000 ₸per eye

Micropulse laser trabeculoplasty is also 100,000 ₸ per eye. Gonioscopy, an exam of the drainage angle of the eye, — 10,000 ₸ for both eyes.

Glaucoma treatment in Astana

Floaters, threads, cobwebs in your vision

Vitreous opacities: laser vitreolysis

Laser clears floaters in about 5 minutes.

This isn’t eye strain. It’s vitreous degeneration: the clear gel that fills the eye develops opacities, and their shadows drift across your vision. At the appointment the laser surgeon will tell you whether they can be removed with laser.

Like a speck on a camera lens: the photo is good, but the spot is in every shot.

  • 15 min drops for the pupil
  • 5 min laser
  • right away life as usual

If floaters appear suddenly, together with flashes, don’t wait: this happens with a retinal tear.

100,000 ₸per eye

An appointment with a fundus examination before laser — 20,000 ₸ per visit.

Retina treatment in Astana

Flashes, sparks, lightning, zigzags

Retinal tears and thinning: laser photocoagulation

Flashes in your vision are a reason to check the retina. Laser reinforces it before it detaches.

This is how tears, tractions, dangerous thinning and small detachments of the retina show up. The laser places laser coagulates — tiny burns that “weld” the retina — around the risky area: a tear, “lattice” degeneration, “snail track” degeneration — and keeps the retina from detaching. In a report this may be called PVCRD or PCRD.

Like gluing down the edge of wallpaper before the whole sheet comes away from the wall.

  • 15–20 min drops for the pupil
  • 3–5 min laser through a Goldmann lens
  • right away back to work

How many minutes the laser takes depends on the number and size of the danger zones. You see just as before.

70,000 ₸per eye

If the doctor splits the laser into stages — 60,000 ₸ per eye, per stage.

Retinal laser photocoagulation in Astana

A grey spot, distortion, blur in the centre

CSCR: yellow micropulse laser

For central serous chorioretinopathy we use a yellow laser — gently and without marks on the retina.

This is subthreshold micropulse laser treatment. It is done with a special 577 nm yellow laser — at the clinic, the LIGHTLas 577. The laser works below the burn threshold and helps get rid of the grey spot, distortion and blur.

Like sun through a cloud: the warmth gets through, but the skin doesn’t burn.

  • 15 min drops for the pupil
  • 3–5 min laser through a Mainster lens
  • right away life as usual

No restrictions after micropulse laser.

80,000 ₸per eye

Barrage and grid laser to the macula — 70,000 ₸ per eye.

Retina treatment in Astana

Diabetes — even if your sight isn’t troubling you yet

Diabetic retinopathy: laser in stages

In diabetes, laser stops retinal disease before it takes your sight.

Diabetes damages the small vessels of the retina. The laser places laser coagulates along its edge — the centre you read and recognise faces with is not touched. Treatment is split into stages, and you pay for each stage separately. The laser is also used for other vascular problems and diseases of the back of the eye.

Like patching the roof before the rainy season: today it’s a few patches, later — repairs to the whole house.

  • in stages as the doctor advises
  • centre left untouched
  • per stage paid separately

The doctor names the number of stages after examining the back of the eye.

50,000 ₸per eye, per stage

Panretinal laser coagulation is split into stages; the price is per stage.

Does it hurt

How laser eye treatment goes, and whether it hurts

You sit as at a routine slit-lamp check and see only light. No need to lie down, be put to sleep or stay at the clinic. Drops numb the eye, so usually all you feel is a flash. When many spots are needed, as in diabetes, it can be uncomfortable — which is why treatment is split into stages.

  4. Back to your dayYou can go to work. Don’t drive that day: the pupil is still wide and light dazzles.

Questions

Questions about laser eye treatment

Does laser eye treatment hurt?

Usually not: drops numb the eye, and you mostly see flashes of light. There’s no incision, no stitches and no injections; you sit at the device as at a routine check. When many spots are needed, as in diabetes, it can be uncomfortable — so a large treatment is split into stages.

How much does laser eye treatment cost in Astana?

According to the clinic’s price list: laser discission for secondary cataract — 80,000 ₸ per eye; laser vitreolysis (“floaters”) — 100,000 ₸ per eye; micropulse laser to the macula — 80,000 ₸ per eye; retinal laser photocoagulation — 70,000 ₸ per eye; laser for diabetes — 50,000 ₸ per eye, per stage. Glaucoma laser (iridotomy, micropulse trabeculoplasty) — 100,000 ₸ per eye. An appointment with a fundus examination — 20,000 ₸ per visit.

How is laser treatment different from laser vision correction?

Laser vision correction reshapes the cornea so you can see without glasses. Laser treatment works deeper: it clears the cloudy film behind the artificial lens, opens a path for fluid in glaucoma, clears vitreous opacities, and reinforces and treats the retina. Different lasers, different jobs.

Can I go to work straight after laser?

Yes. After laser for secondary cataract, iridotomy, vitreolysis and micropulse laser there are no restrictions; after retinal laser photocoagulation you can also go to work. One rule: on the day of the procedure, don’t drive until the pupil-dilating drops wear off.

Is it true that laser for secondary cataract can be free?

Yes, if your cataract surgery was done at RB CLINIC: the laser is free in the first 3 months after the operation. If it was done elsewhere — 80,000 ₸ per eye.

How do I know if I need laser iridotomy?

Be alert if you are over 38, your near vision is getting worse and you’ve started having headaches — at the temple, the back of the head, above the eyebrows. A laser surgeon will tell you for sure: he examines the drainage angle with gonioscopy, 10,000 ₸ for both eyes. If the angle is narrow, iridotomy prevents an acute glaucoma attack without surgery.

Floaters — do they always need laser?

No. Laser clears vitreous opacities if they get in the way, and at the appointment the doctor will tell you whether vitreolysis suits you. But if floaters appear suddenly, with flashes or a curtain at the side, come in the same day: this happens with a retinal tear.

What is subthreshold micropulse laser, and who needs it?

It is subthreshold micropulse laser treatment with a 577 nm yellow laser. The laser works below the burn threshold, and no marks are left on the retina. It is used for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), when there is a grey spot, distortion and blur in front of the eye. The procedure takes 3–5 minutes.
