International Medical Center "Ophthalmica"

Clinic overview “International Medical Center "Ophthalmica"”

Today, "International Medical Center Ophthalmicа" working in Kharkov for eleven years, is the most advanced center for the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems. Here you can find the best in Ukraine ophthalmic equipment and leading doctors of the region and the whole country. Most of them are members of European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).

The history of the center began in 2006 on the basis of the City Clinical Hospital No. 14 named after Professor L.L. Girshmanwhen when six enthusiastic doctors decided to create a place with absolutely new approach to the organization of work, standard of service and quality of care for patients.

On the basis of the clinic, they implemented the practical experience of the British school of ophthalmology, the knowledge acquired by the doctors while working in the Arab Emirates, and all available knowledge of their foreign colleagues at that time.

While initially the "International Medical Center Ophthalmicа" worked solely as a diagnostic center, in 2008 the first in-house operating room was opened. It was designed according to the world's GMP quality standards for clean rooms. The room has no windows, and sterile air is supplied through a German supply and exhaust system, which includes: three-stage purification filters, filters that can only be found in modern pharmaceutical plants. It guarantees a high standard of hygiene and safety of procedures, in terms of asepsis and antisepsis.

The creation of the operating unit, which was absolutely new in Ukraine and had equipment unavailable elsewhere, made it possible to significantly raise the level of treatment of such diseases as cataract and glaucoma. Virtually at the same time, the center started performing laser eye correction. During a  year, colleagues from other countries more experience in this area trained and corrected the work of the center's doctors to achieve ideal results.

Every year "Ophthalmicа" developed and expanded its range of services. For example, in 2012 a children's department and its own optics were opened. In 2013 the center started performing retinal surgery (vitreoretinal surgery).

In 2015 - a department for the visually impaired was set up. This is a unique place for Ukraine. It is here that patients suffering from vision problems, who have been denied treatment in other hospitals, are given hope of recovery.  State-of-the-art equipment and the colossal experience of the center's doctors give such patients the opportunity to see again.

• Experience.

Doctors at the Clinic constantly receive training in the U.S. and Europe. Specialists from Germany, Israel, and the U.S come to the center to share the latest world technologies.

We not only train specialists, we also share our experience with the rest of Ukraine. Medicine is not a place where you have to keep secrets. Our mission is to help as many patients as possible and to bring the level of medicine in Ukraine to a qualitatively new standard.

•  Equipment

High efficiency of the Center is determined not only by qualification of our doctors, but also by the equipment which has almost no equivalent in Ukraine.

No matter how competent the doctor is, without quality tools he is unable to help. That is why we do everything for the patient to get help and defeat the disease.

• Comfort

Our clinic has created the most comfortable conditions for patients. Beginning from the consultation, where the task of the doctor is not only to diagnose the disease, but to create a comfortable atmosphere, to the operating and postoperative period.

Service, food, comfortable conditions, friendly staff - all this is designed to provide the best conditions for the patient.

We strive for European standard of medicine in everything.

The main purpose of work of the "International Medical Center Ophthalmica" is to help people, to develop Ukrainian medicine and supply it with highly qualified personnel.
