On February 3, 2022, an important event in the medical life of the Republic of Dagestan took placeю It opened a completely new era in the development of high-tech medical care in the regional ophthalmology.

The chief ophthalmologist of the Public Health Ministry of the Republic of Dagestan, the head physician of the Medical Center for High Technologies named after I.Sh. Ismailov, the dean of the Eye Diseases Department of Dagestan State Medical University, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Muslim Ismailov told about significance and prospects of the event.

“The importance of the event for Dagestan medicine is difficult to overestimate, for it is, in fact, a start to microsurgical operations for keratoplasty or corneal transplantation, which had not previously been performed by Dagestan ophthalmologists. Moreover, the operation is in the most complex, combined, one-stage execution mode - with the replacement of a clouded lens with an artificial one” - professor said.

According to Ismailov, such operations had been the prerogative of the federal medical centers. The sequence and waiting time for such an operation for each patient varied 2 years or more.

The need for such operations both in the constituent entities of Russia and in the country as a whole is significantly higher than their actual implementation. “If we talk about Dagestan, then this is about 100-120 operations per year, and taking into account the fact that citizens of neighboring regions often seek medical help in our region, this figure may double” - Ismailov said.
