Briefly about eye diseases
The field of ophthalmology includes dozens of eye diseases, each of which has both specific and similar symptoms of manifestation. Any damage to the eye is serious and requires intervention from a competent specialist. In the absence of this, serious consequences can occur, among which the most dangerous is considered to be deterioration of vision.
The most common among all possible symptoms are inflammatory, manifested by lacrimation, redness of the mucous membrane, itching, photophobia, and swelling of the eyelids. An equally common phenomenon is dry eye mucosa, which is associated with overwork of the eye muscles due to long hours of work at a computer monitor.
In such cases, complex action drops are prescribed, which help cope with signs of inflammation and fatigue at the same time.
In diseases provoked by the action of a number of bacteria and microbes, the clinical picture is pronounced and is characterized, as a rule, by purulent discharge, to eliminate which antibacterial drops are used. Infectious eye diseases are considered dangerous, as they can cause a number of serious complications.
If there is pus coming out of your eyes...
If pus is discharged from the eyes, this means that you have an infection of the eyeballs, as well as the mucous membrane of the eye. Pus is released due to the fact that pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, viruses and infections have entered the eyes. In this case, you need to purchase antibacterial eye drops.
Remember that infectious diseases are extremely dangerous to the life and health of every person. If you have pus coming out of your eyes, self-medication is not recommended.
Effect of eye drops “Aloe extract according to Fedorov”
It took several years to develop the drug. However, experimental studies have yielded positive results confirming that a number of active components contained in the drug can cope with some eye problems.
Drops contain extracts of such natural active ingredients as: bee honey, aloe, silver. In addition, the drug is rich in biologically active, antioxidant and vitamin substances, which enhance the effect of the main components, making it possible to combat eye diseases as much as possible.
Composition of the drug
Includes:
- demineralized water, consisting of silver ions, is responsible for the sterility of the drops, having an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, promoting gentle hydration, maximum restoration and rejuvenation of tissues at the cellular level;
- bee honey, long known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, is used to provide the tissues of the eyeball with a number of nutrients, thereby helping to nourish the tissues of the eyeball with the substances necessary for proper functioning, while simultaneously restoring the damaged structure;
- the auxiliary component adenosine has a positive effect on the process of tissue regeneration, improving metabolic processes and microcirculation, fighting against swelling, promoting the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels;
- vitamin B6 has an antioxidant effect and is aimed at improving the metabolism of the retina and the formation of the visual impulse;
- thanks to ascorbic acid, there is a noticeable strengthening of the walls of the eye vessels, reducing the risk of hemorrhages, and improving tissue nutrition;
- benzalkonium chloride is included in the drug to enhance the antiseptic and antiviral effect.
Equipment used
In addition to highly qualified specialists, Fedorov’s clinic is equipped with high-quality imported equipment: excimer and femtosecond lasers, a unique system for the diagnosis and treatment of eye pathologies with the ability to take into account the optical imperfections of the equipment as accurately as possible.
Thanks to the use of ultra-precise instruments, it is possible to perform operations using innovative technologies without affecting the surface layers of the cornea.
An accurate calculation programs the laser device to perform the operation in record time - no more than 15 minutes, with an impact on the cornea of no more than 45 seconds.
The combination of ultra-precise equipment in the hands of skilled specialists ensures maximum efficiency of operations, their painlessness and excellent restorative effect for patients.
Indications for use
Eye drops “Aloe extract according to Fedorov” are known for their wide spectrum of action, therefore they are recommended in the treatment of many diseases and to eliminate some symptoms associated with damage to the retina, tissue, and mucous membrane of the eye. Diseases requiring mandatory use of eye drops are caused by:
- myopia of various degrees (the progressive form of myopia is also taken into account); significant disruption of the mechanisms associated with adaptation of vision to darkness (this disease is called “hemeralopia”);
- myopic chorioretinitis (the disease is characterized by deterioration of vision downward);
- diabetic retinopathy;
- central and peripheral retinal dystrophy;
- blepharitis, known as an inflammation process affecting the edges of the eyelids;
- conjunctivitis, leading to inflammation of the outer membrane of the eye;
- keratitis, characterized by inflammation of the cornea;
- iritis, in which the iris of the eye becomes inflamed;
- vitreous opacification;
- cataracts.
In addition to the indications listed above, eye drops are used as a complex therapy for primary glaucoma, as well as to eliminate symptoms that arise during prolonged work at the computer.
The professional activities of many specialist programmers inevitably lead to:
- tired eye syndrome, characterized by pain, inability to concentrate on an object, “heaviness” of the eyelids;
- deterioration of visual acuity.
Elderly people use eye drops as a prophylactic drug aimed at improving eye function, which may deteriorate due to age-related changes. And finally, experts prescribe drops for the treatment of traumatic eye lesions, as well as lesions of inflammatory and viral origin.
Customer Reviews
Meanwhile, real buyers complain about the consequences of using the tonic, leaving negative reviews about the drops of “Aloe extract according to Fedorov” on independent resources on the Internet.
I work a lot at the computer, and from time to time my eyes start to water. A colleague recommended these drops. I tried it, and after 10 minutes my eyes turned red and my eyelids were swollen. I barely rinsed it under running water.
Tatyana, 31 years old
Mom bought it and started using it. At first I was happy, they say, I began to see better, the colors were brighter. And after two weeks my eyes began to itch. I went to see a doctor, and he began to scold her. He said that many patients have an allergic reaction, and he does not recommend them to anyone.

If symptoms are caused by the negative influence of computer devices, then treatment with eye drops can be extended to 8 weeks.
Despite the dose prescribed by the instructions, the treatment regimen must be determined by the doctor, based on the results of the examination.
Relevance
There are many incurable eye diseases such as astigmatism, myopia or farsightedness. It seemed that they had always been and would be, but the achievements of modern laser surgery changed everything.
Wearing glasses reduces a person's quality of life and limits his choice of profession. It is especially difficult for people who are allergic to contact lenses or who cannot wear glasses.
Laser methods of vision correction are safe and most effective, but they require expensive equipment, a good doctor, and consideration of all indications and contraindications.
Cost of services
Patients are often treated at the clinic free of charge, although all operations to correct vision for refractive errors (astigmatism, farsightedness or myopia) are performed on a paid basis.
Prices for laser vision correction are affordable for most patients at the Fedorov Clinic. The full cost of treatment will be determined after examining the patient and choosing the surgical technique.
In general, prices for laser vision correction at Fedorov’s clinic for various pathologies range from 26,500 to 50,000 rubles. Calculation of the cost of eye surgery depends on the characteristics of the diagnosis, the need for additional tests and the condition of the patient’s eyes.
How is laser correction performed?
What can patients expect when undergoing vision correction surgery? The main stages are:
- Using local anesthesia in the form of instilled anesthetic drops to protect the eyes from pain and discomfort. After this, an eyelid speculum is used to prevent blinking of the eyelids.
- The patient is asked to focus on a bright point on the device and look at it continuously. This is necessary to center the operated eye.
- Using a microkeratot (a special microsurgical instrument), the surgeon creates a thin flap from the upper layer of the cornea (approximately 130-150 microns). This flap is folded to the side, allowing the laser beam to penetrate the cornea to the required depth.
- The beam affects the desired part of the cornea, modeling its new shape according to a given program. In this case, the laser models the required degree of curvature of the cornea and gives it the necessary optical power, taking into account the impaired refraction.
- The surgeon returns the removed corneal flap to its place. In this case, the damaged epithelium is restored within 3-5 hours after the operation.
- After the operation, the cornea is treated with a special antiseptic solution using anti-inflammatory drops. After this, the eyelid speculum is removed.
- The operation is performed on the patient's other eye in a similar manner.
Through time I see
It always seemed to me that he was a man for the ages. He knew so much, he invented so much, created so much, introduced so much not only in ophthalmology, but also in the organization of health care, economics, farming... On Dmitrovskoe Highway in Moscow there is a park named after him, there is a monument to this great Russian. There are no inscriptions on the monument: only the first name, patronymic, last name and dates of life. It's so short, unfortunately. But life, as we know, is determined not by the number of years lived, but by what they are filled with. Let me remind you of just one content: the artificial lens, which has saved the sight of millions of people around the world, is called a satellite. The author of the ophthalmological companion is Svyatoslav Fedorov.
The monument in the Moscow park is not the only monument to Fedorov: the Center for Eye Microsurgery in Moscow is world famous, ten branches of the center in different regions of the country... And also thousands of students of Svyatoslav Nikolaevich both in Russia and abroad. And that means...
“So there’s only one thing,” Irene Efimovna Fedorova tells me, “Slava is alive.” And I'm not his widow. I was and remain his wife. In everything I do today - and this is mainly to support those who need medical care, not only ophthalmological - I mentally consult with Slava. I, like him, am happy when I can really help. It hurts me when I come across indifference, and even more so, refusal. In such cases, I always tell myself: if only Slava were alive...
- Irene! Do you think Svyatoslav Nikolaevich would be satisfied with today's medical care?
- There is no definite answer! He would certainly be pleased with the achievements of modern medicine. They are. A lot of them. But it would be disappointing that not all achievements in ophthalmology, for example, are available to everyone who needs them.
Svyatoslav Nikolaevich loved to gather guests, loved gatherings with friends. Irene has religiously followed this, if you will, hobby for 17 years. On August 8 we all gather at Irene's. Irene immediately corrects me: “We’re gathering at Slava’s.” In the center is a portrait of Svyatoslav Nikolaevich. Lots of flowers. Delicious food that he loved. And this year is a completely round date. And his students will definitely come: Mikhail Konovalov, Arsen Kozhukhov, Mikhail Pozharitsky, Larisa Kardanova with Naif, Alexander Tereshchenko... And numerous friends. Yes, Evgeny Maksimovich Primakov will no longer sing, Konstantin Yakovlevich Vanshenkin will no longer read poetry... Time is inexorable. Friends leave. But what Svyatoslav Fedorov created will never go away. Just like the memory of him. "Companions" are always with us.
