For the past nine decades, the State Institution “Eye Diseases” (Ufa - the city in which it is located) has been conducting research work, developing and manufacturing medical devices and intraocular lenses, and providing diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmological care.
Institute History
The Ufa Research Institute was founded in 1926 on the basis of a small regional hospital for research, which was associated with a massive trachoma disease in Bashkiria. The first head of the institution was V.P. Odintsov, a well-known ophthalmologist. All the forces of the institute of that time were directed to the study of trachoma, its diagnosis and treatment. In 1932, some changes occurred: the number of beds increased by 3 times, two more laboratories were opened: histological and bacteriological. It so happened that during the war years the Institute of Eye Diseases temporarily changed its profile. Ufa has become a haven for people requiring medical care, so the research institute has become a hospital, and in the post-war period it again returned to ophthalmological activities. For the entire time the research institute has been replaced by eight leaders. Today it is managed by Bikbov Muharram Mukhtaramovich, professor, doctor of medical sciences.

Clinic Research Institute
The Institute of Eye Diseases (Ufa) is engaged in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of ophthalmic diseases. The specialists working here can be addressed with problems such as hyperopia and myopia, glaucoma, cataracts, diseases of the cornea, optic nerve, vitreous body and retina. Also, research institutes will help with diseases of the lacrimal organs and eyelids. Much attention is paid to the development of pediatric ophthalmology. More than 70 thousand patients go through the clinic annually.
How to get to the specialists of the clinic
Both diagnostics and consultations are carried out by specialists of the clinic by appointment. To do this, just call. Patient care is free (if there are benefits) and paid. Children's Consultative and Outpatient Department accepts children for examination and further treatment with various diseases and disorders: strabismus,
myopia, hyperopia, diseases of the cornea, retina, blood vessels, inflammatory processes, injuries - and this is not the whole list.
Laser vision correction
Presbyopsia, astigmatism, myopia or farsightedness - these problems are solved with the use of laser correction, which is practiced by the Institute of Eye Diseases (Ufa). Feedback on this procedure is extremely positive. It is absolutely painless, and after a few days the patient can return to the usual rhythm of life. Correction has several advantages over glasses and lenses. Firstly, glasses distort space and limit lateral vision, and wearing lenses can cause microtrauma, swelling and inflammation. Secondly, neither glasses nor lenses heal, but only temporarily ease the fate of a person with vision problems.
