Thinning and tears of the retina tend to hide at its very edge, where a routine exam doesn’t reach. Cycloscopy through a Goldmann lens shows the retina all the way to the far periphery, plus the ciliary body.

Cycloscopy is an examination of the ciliary body and the far periphery of the retina through a Goldmann three-mirror lens with a dilated pupil. It is often done together with gonioscopy, and then the test is called gonio-cycloscopy. Cycloscopy finds peripheral retinal degenerations and tears that can’t be seen on a routine fundus exam. At RB CLINIC (Astana, 12 Orynbor St) cycloscopy costs 20,000 ₸ per visit and is performed by laser surgeons Sayat Karibayev and Sagat Zhukeyev. Booking: +7 771 848 00 00 (WhatsApp), Mon–Sat 9:00–19:00.
What the doctor sees
The retina lines the inside of the eye like wallpaper in a round room. Looking at it through a narrow pupil is like peering into the room through a keyhole: you only see the opposite wall. Drops open the door, and the mirrors of a Goldmann lens look into the corners.
Choose how the eye is examined
The dark area on the diagram is what the doctor can’t see with that exam.
Without drops the doctor sees the optic disc, the vessels and the centre of the retina. That’s not enough to say “everything is fine”: the edge of the retina stays in the shadow.
This is what a quick exam without dilating the pupil looks like.
Drops dilate the pupil, and the doctor sees most of the retina. But the far periphery and the ciliary body hide behind the iris: to look there, you need mirrors.
It’s at the edge that thinning and tears are found most often.
The mirrors of a Goldmann three-mirror lens show the far periphery of the retina and the ciliary body all the way round. Here the doctor looks for what a routine exam misses:

The diagram is simplified. What to examine and how, the doctor decides at the visit, based on your eye.
Who it’s for
Cycloscopy is done when it matters to see the whole retina, not just its centre. A weak spot at the edge usually doesn’t affect vision and gives no warning signs.
Routine check-up
The doctor will order it if
Don’t wait for an appointment
This is how a retinal tear or detachment can begin. The eye needs to be examined the same day. At night and on Sundays — call an ambulance, 103.

It’s an exam, not an operation: no injections or incisions. Most of the time goes on waiting for the drops to dilate the pupil.
How to prepare
Prices from the price list
Cycloscopy at RB CLINIC — 20,000 ₸ per visit. A laser surgeon examines you: if he finds a weak spot, he’ll tell you right away whether a laser is needed and what it costs.
The price list is not a public offer: the administrator will confirm the price again when you book.
Laser surgeons
The edge of the retina is examined by the same doctor who will reinforce it with a laser if needed. You won’t have to retell your story to a second specialist: the decision and the treatment are in the same hands.

Better to find a weak spot early
Message us on WhatsApp why you need the check: before laser correction, short-sightedness, or floaters bothering you. The administrator will find a time with Dr. Karibayev or Dr. Zhukeyev.
Bring sunglasses and don’t drive yourself.
Questions
It’s an examination of the ciliary body and the far periphery of the retina through a Goldmann three-mirror lens with a dilated pupil. It finds peripheral retinal degenerations and tears that can’t be seen on a routine fundus exam.
At RB CLINIC — 20,000 ₸ per visit, performed by laser surgeons Karibayev and Zhukeyev. Gonio-cycloscopy is already included in the full eye examination: 20,000 ₸ per visit together with eye pressure, visual acuity and lens fitting.
Before the lens, the eye is numbed with drops. You feel a light touch of the lens and the bright light of the lamp. After the pupil drops, everything is blurry for 3–4 hours and light seems brighter than usual.
Better not to that day: the pupil stays dilated for 3–4 hours, everything is blurry and light dazzles. Come by taxi or with someone close and bring sunglasses.
Both are done with the same three-mirror lens at a slit lamp. Gonioscopy looks at the angle of the eye through which fluid drains, — this matters in glaucoma. Cycloscopy looks at the ciliary body and the edge of the retina with a dilated pupil. Together it’s called gonio-cycloscopy.
The laser changes only the cornea and doesn’t treat the retina. If there’s thinning or a tear at the edge of the retina, the doctor may suggest reinforcing that spot with a laser first and doing the correction afterwards.
The doctor will explain whether that spot is dangerous. If needed, he’ll suggest peripheral laser photocoagulation: the laser “welds” the retina around the weak spot. At RB CLINIC it’s done by the same doctors, 70,000 ₸ per eye.
