Many people are afraid of laser vision correction due to widespread myths. We break down the most common fears and explain how the procedure actually works.

Laser vision correction is one of the most common and safest procedures in modern ophthalmology. Nevertheless, many patients postpone it for years due to fears and misconceptions.

Myth 1: “It is painful” In reality, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the form of eye drops. The patient does not feel pain — only slight pressure. The entire process takes no more than 10–15 minutes.

Myth 2: “Vision will return back” Modern methods — CLEAR and FemtoLASIK — provide stable and long-lasting results. With proper diagnostics and correct method selection, regression is practically excluded.

Myth 3: “It is very expensive” The cost of the procedure pays off within a few years when you consider the expenses for glasses, contact lenses, and their replacements. In addition, SAIF Optima offers various payment options.

If you have been considering surgery for a long time, start with a consultation. The doctor will perform a diagnostic examination and honestly tell you whether laser correction is suitable for you.

An implant is not just about aesthetics — it is the health of the entire jaw. We explain who dental implantation is recommended for and how the procedure is performed at SAIF ProFace.

Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic problem. Over time, neighboring teeth begin to shift, the load on the jaw is distributed unevenly, and this leads to new complications. Dental implantation allows a tooth to be fully restored — from the root to the crown.

Who is dental implantation suitable for? An implant can be placed for almost any adult patient with one or more missing teeth. Before the procedure, the doctor evaluates the condition of the bone tissue and the overall oral health.

How is the procedure performed? First, a detailed examination and a 3D scan of the jaw are carried out. Then, under local anesthesia, a titanium implant is placed. After the healing period — from 2 to 4 months — a crown is installed.

Why titanium? Titanium is a biocompatible material that is not rejected by the body and lasts for decades. Modern implants are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth in both appearance and sensation.

At SAIF ProFace, dental implantation is performed by experienced maxillofacial surgeons using certified implants from world-leading manufacturers.

Many parents do not know at what age a child’s vision and teeth should be checked. We answer the most common questions.

Early detection of vision and dental problems is the key to a child’s long-term health. The earlier a problem is identified, the easier and faster it can be resolved.

Ophthalmologist: at what age? The first visit to a pediatric ophthalmologist is recommended at 1 month of age to rule out congenital pathologies. Then at 1 year, 3 years, and before school. Modern equipment allows vision to be checked even in newborns using a non-contact method — it is completely painless.

Dentist: when is the first visit? The first visit to a pediatric dentist is recommended as soon as the first teeth appear, usually at 6–8 months of age. The goal is not treatment, but getting acquainted with the doctor and preventive care. Children who visit the dentist from an early age tolerate future treatments much more calmly.

Signs that require immediate medical attention:

• The child squints or holds a book too close to their eyes
• One eye is crossed or covered
• Complaints of tooth pain or sensitivity
• Dark spots are visible on the teeth

At SAIF Kids, pediatric ophthalmologists and dentists work who know how to find an approach to every child — even the youngest and most anxious patients.
