Advice on eye care

What happens at an eye appointment

The Viva Clinic ophthalmologist sees adults and children and diagnoses and treats acute and chronic eye conditions. The doctor will start by asking what has changed with your vision, when it started, whether you wear glasses or lenses and whether you have any chronic conditions. Also mention how you use your eyes day to day: how many hours you spend at a screen, whether you read a lot, whether you drive. The advice you get depends on it.

Then the ophthalmologist will examine your eyes. Eye pressure is measured right here at the polyclinic, so you won’t need to go elsewhere for that. If lab tests are needed, you can have them at the clinic’s own laboratory, Diagnost-Lab. At the end, the doctor will tell you whether you need treatment and when to come back for a follow-up.

The ophthalmologist sees patients in Slavuta, so people in Slavuta, Netishyn or Shepetivka don’t need to travel to Kyiv, Lviv or Khmelnytskyi for an eye exam.

Glasses, laser treatment and cataract surgery

The Viva Clinic ophthalmologist tests the vision of adults and children and prescribes glasses. Bring the glasses or lenses you wear now so the doctor can compare them with your new results.

The department also corrects vision problems with a therapeutic laser and performs cataract surgery. A cataract clouds the lens of the eye: vision gradually becomes cloudy or misty, colors fade and bright light causes glare. The doctor decides after the exam whether you need surgery or laser treatment and explains how to prepare.

How often to get your eyes checked even if nothing bothers you

Tired eyes, dryness or slightly worse vision are easy to blame on work or age. Many people get used to it and don’t see a doctor for years. It’s better to come in as soon as you notice changes, even small ones.

A preventive check makes sense without any complaints too. Viva Clinic doctors recommend one every six months, so that changes are caught before they become irreversible. Keep up with regular checks if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, if a relative has glaucoma, myopia or retinal dystrophy, or if your work puts a lot of strain on your eyes, for example if you spend long hours at a computer. Don’t put off a check either if you haven’t had your eyes examined for a while.

A sudden drop in vision, severe eye pain or an eye injury needs emergency care. In that case, don’t wait for a routine appointment.

Questions about seeing an ophthalmologist

What should I bring to an eye appointment?

Bring the glasses or contact lenses you use and any reports from previous eye exams. If you wear lenses, ask when booking whether to come without them. Earlier reports help the doctor see how your vision has changed.

How often should I have my eyes checked by an ophthalmologist?

Every six months, even if your vision seems fine. Viva Clinic doctors recommend this so that changes are caught before they become irreversible. Regular checks matter most if you have diabetes, if a relative has glaucoma, myopia or retinal dystrophy, or if your work puts a lot of strain on your eyes.

Eye pressure: what raises it and how it is checked
Eye pressure, or intraocular pressure, is the pressure of the fluid inside the eye. It rises when fluid drains out of the eye more slowly than it is produced, and over the years it can damage the optic nerve, which leads to glaucoma. Eye pressure usually isn't measured at home: an ophthalmologist checks it, and the measurement is painless and takes a few minutes.
