Laser days at RB CLINIC
Everyone in these photos went through the same hard days we warn you about. The grittiness and light sensitivity go away; seeing without glasses stays. The dark glasses in the photos aren’t for style: in the first days your eyes need less light, and that’s normal.

Tap a video — it opens right here, with sound.
I want to say a huge thank you to Dr. Sagat Serikovich for my vision correction. From the very first visit you feel real professionalism, confidence and calm — it really helped me cope with my nerves before the procedure. Everything was explained in detail, without rushing, and at every stage I understood what was happening. The correction itself was quick and comfortable, and the result exceeded all my expectations — my vision became sharp, as if a new world had opened up. Thank you for the attentive care, the support and an excellent result.

@dr.bigeldiyevNot instead, but on purpose
PRK isn’t a cut-down version of other methods but a tool in its own right. It has one property people choose it for deliberately: no flap is left on the cornea. For some eyes that’s just a detail; for others it’s the main argument.
PRK makes no flap: the laser works on the surface of the cornea, and the thin top layer — the epithelium — grows back on its own. No incision and no cut line is left on the cornea.
Where a hit to the face is possible, having no flap is an advantage, not a saving. For an athlete, what matters isn’t how many days recovery takes but what happens to the eye a year later in the ring.
PRK doesn’t use up corneal thickness on a flap. If another doctor told you “we won’t make a flap”, that’s not yet a no to correction. Whether PRK suits you is decided not by the minus but by the Pentacam scan at diagnostics.

Price
100,000 ₸ per eye at the special price until 31 October — with any of the four surgeons. PRK’s list price is 175,000 ₸. This is the price of the method itself, not a cut-down version of a pricier one: with Femto-LASIK and ReLEx SMILE you pay extra not for vision but for getting back to your life sooner.
Laser on the corneal surface, no flap
Corneal topography on Pentacam, eye pressure, the back of the eye and a talk with the surgeon. Afterwards you know whether PRK can treat your eye.

More about ReLEx SMILENo surprises
There’s no need to fear the surgery itself — it’s the days after that can be hard, and we say so plainly. Once you know that grittiness on day two is normal and not a complication, it’s much easier to get through.
Walk through the clinic — 8 rooms in a minuteStarting with the laser roomHere is the surgeon’s honest answer: you’ll feel cool liquid on the eye and the doctor’s touch, but not on the eye itself. The bright light will feel uncomfortable: you’re simply not used to it. No general anaesthesia, you’re awake, and a lid speculum holds the eyelid — you physically can’t blink, even if you want to.
2–3 days of a gritty feeling, watering and light sensitivity. By day 4 it gets comfortable. These days are easier spent at home: dark glasses, dim light and less phone screen — your eyes need rest right now.
Follow-up checks for three months after surgery are free. On day five we remove the protective lens, and from then on your vision improves quickly. If anything worries you, call: +7 771 848 00 00 or +7 702 747 11 77.
Honestly, up front
If PRK isn’t right for you, we’ll say so at diagnostics — and tell you what is. Almost every “no” has a bridge: another method or another operation at this same clinic.
Laser correction isn’t done with keratoconus, a cornea too thin for a large minus, progressive myopia, diabetes or acute eye inflammation.
With marked corneal dryness — after treatment. With eye inflammation — after full recovery. After systemic retinoids — 6 months or more after the course ends.
First step
About two hours, and you leave with an answer: whether PRK can treat your eye and, if not, which method will. Keratoconus and corneal thinning show up only on the Pentacam topographer, so nobody rushes here.
If you don’t need correction, we’ll say so.
What pre-correction diagnostics includeFor those who like to understand
The whole of PRK laser correction is three steps, and none of them needs an incision. If your doctor has already explained it all, feel free to scroll on: it doesn’t affect the decision.
Questions
Until 31 October — a special price of 100,000 ₸ per eye and 200,000 ₸ for both, with any of the four surgeons. Per the price list of 10.05.2026, PRK costs 175,000 ₸ per eye. Diagnostics are needed before surgery: 22,000 ₸ per visit, a repeat visit — 12,000 ₸ per visit. Follow-up checks for three months after surgery are free.
Honestly: 2–3 days will be unpleasant — a gritty feeling, watering, light sensitivity. By day 4 it gets comfortable, and on day five the protective lens comes out. There’s no general anaesthesia for the surgery itself: you’ll feel cool liquid and the doctor’s touch, but not on the eye itself, and an unusually bright light. We warn you in advance so the hard days don’t take you by surprise.
On day 3–4. For the first days the eye has a protective lens, and it’s easier to spend them at home. The lens comes out on day five; final vision comes in three to four weeks. If you need to be back at work the next day, ask the surgeon about Femto-LASIK or ReLEx SMILE.
In PRK the laser works on the corneal surface and there’s no flap. So recovery is longer: back to work on day 3–4 rather than the next day. The final quality of vision is the same with all three methods; what differs is recovery time, range and price. At the special price: PRK — 100,000 ₸, Femto-LASIK — 250,000 ₸, ReLEx SMILE — 350,000 ₸ per eye. All three methods are on the laser vision correction page.
Yes. “FRK” is the Russian abbreviation; in Latin letters the same method is written differently. If you searched for laser correction under its English name, you’re in the right place: here are the price, recovery times and surgeons for this exact method.
Often yes: PRK doesn’t use up corneal thickness on a flap, so it’s chosen when there isn’t enough cornea for other methods. But it’s decided not by the minus or someone else’s report but by the Pentacam scan at our diagnostics. With keratoconus laser correction isn’t done — cross-linking is needed.
PRK is often chosen precisely by athletes who take hits to the face: no flap is left on the cornea to shift. When you can return to training, the surgeon will tell you for your case at diagnostics and follow-up checks.
