VIDEO: What do patients say about the experience of laser surgery in our clinic?

So many positive emotions, so many good wishes, and words of gratitude are rarely found. We are grateful to our patients for appreciating our work.

The Latvian American Eye Center (LAAC) is the first, most prominent and most modern private eye clinic in the Baltic States, modelled on a unique US model. It has been operating for 26 years, making it the Baltic States' ophthalmology clinic with the most comprehensive experience.

"So many positive emotions, so many words of good wishes and gratitude are rarely found. We are grateful to our patients for appreciating our work."

What does the Latvian American Eye Center offer?

Here, patient care meets modern technologies and a high level of knowledge. Full-fledged eye and vision health diagnostics and treatment for adults and children are provided.

The clinic offers a wide range of vision correction options - laser correction with LASIK, FEMTO-LASIK, PRK, SMILE, EVO Visian ICL lens implantation, multifocal intraocular lens implantation, as well as various types of soft and hard contact lenses, night lenses and glasses.

Diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases in children and adults, both outpatient and surgical, is the second main direction of the Latvian American Eye Center. The participation of the clinic in international clinical trials and young specialists' training plays an important role. Specialists in the field of ophthalmology appreciate the work of the clinic's sales department because we also use the materials and equipment we offer for purchase in our daily work.

Various paintings are placed in our clinic premises to help patients with low vision find their way around more easily.

The clinic's premises are adapted for patients with mobility impairments, there are no thresholds, there is an elevator for easy access from floor to floor, the environment is adapted for visually impaired patients, Braille signs are created, as well as special yellow signs and warning lines for safe movement.

The clinic has an entirely new operating room for laser vision corrections.

A new world-class operating room has been created in the clinic, especially for vision laser corrections. The latest technologies from the world's leading laser equipment manufacturer Carl Zeiss are also used - excimer laser MEL90 and femtosecond laser VisuMax. The equipment provides excellent accuracy, fast exposure and a high level of safety.

Unwinding for the patients in the Latvian American eye centre after vision correction

Before surgery, patients are in lounges. The clinic staff takes care of the patients' stay - soothes, calms, feeds so that everyone here feels at home or as a long-awaited guest. We are here for a beginning a new life, gaining vision and changing the quality of life.

During the Latvian American Eye Center operation time, thousands of patients from all over the world have been successfully served. Patient gratitude and positive experiences can be read in the clinic's gratitude book. The head of the clinic Una Brūna also adds about this book:

"So many positive emotions, so many words of good wishes and gratitude are seldom read. We are grateful to our patients for appreciating our work, which allows us to set new goals and be constantly evolving."
