Organization structure
The Institute conducts its work in the context of several departments:
- Children's consultative polyclinic.

When contacting the adult department, the patient receives qualified advice from specialists, undergoes a certain diagnosis, and is issued a medical report indicating the diagnosis and a list of recommended treatment. In some cases, a one-day examination of the patient is not enough, and therefore it is recommended that he check into a hospital for a detailed comprehensive examination.
The Children's Department of the Ufa Research Institute of Eye Diseases accepts free of charge small patients with various problems: pathology of the eyelids and lacrimal canals, myopia, strabismus, astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma and other ophthalmic diseases, as well as suspicions of them. Reviews of pediatric ophthalmologists indicate that ophthalmic operations and a complex of special treatment in children at an early age largely determines their high efficiency.
Performance indicators

Not only Russians, but also residents of other countries apply for consultations at the Research Institute of Eye Diseases. According to the statistics of the Institute, about 80 thousand patients come for treatment every year, and over the past five years this figure has amounted to about 500 thousand people. The number of eye surgeries performed at the Research Institute today exceeds 140,000.

Main activities
Ufa Research Institute since its foundation has been developing its own surgical technologies, and also organizes the treatment of eye diseases with unique methods that combine the improvement and implementation of advanced world technologies in practice.
The Institute's priorities are as follows:
- refractive surgery;
- glaucoma treatment;
- reconstructive and recovery operations;
- inflammatory eye diseases;
- vitreoretinal and laser surgery.
Ufa Research Institute of Eye Diseases performs operations of any complexity. Thanks to the high professionalism of specialists, in-depth analysis of the results of surgical practice, scientific work and the implementation of successful experience, the results of the institute's work are not inferior to the developments of foreign colleagues.
Types of operations performed
The number of cataract surgeries performed (congenital, traumatic, age-related) with minimal incisions and subsequentIOL implantation. One of the first institutions in the Russian Federation, where the practical use of medical and economic standards for minimally invasive cataract surgery was introduced, was the Research Institute of Eye Diseases. Microinvasive drainage operations for glaucoma have shown a high therapeutic effect: valves and drains of different models are used for this.
Bullous keratopathy is effectively cured at the institute: for this purpose, automated endothelial keratoplasty with the production of donor corneal material is used. The scientific department of vitreoretinal and laser surgery deals with all kinds of retinal problems.
Modern types of lasers are used in the treatment of various pathological diseases, due to which not only there is a chance for recovery, but also the possibility of a significant improvement in the quality of life in patients with severe lesions of the retina and vitreous body.
Advanced technology
Scientific inventions for the treatment of degenerative diseases of the cornea of the eye - UV irradiation with riboflavin during crosslinking with subsequent implantation of corneal rings and segments are used with great success in practice. It was at the UV Research Institute of Eye Diseases that the unique technology of epikeratoplasty for keratoconus was developed, which was included in the top ten most significant achievements in world ophthalmology (according to the well-known journal Ophthalmology times).
In the department of hospital-replacing technologies, neoplasms are successfully removed,blepharoplasty. In addition, dacryocystitis is treated here with a laser with minimal trauma.
Pleopto-orthoptic treatment of childhood problems of strabismus, refractive errors of various etiologies is also successfully performed with the help of laser surgery. Highly qualified care for children in the hospital is provided from the first days of life.
The effectiveness of surgical treatment in the children's department is characterized by the highest rates due to the use of new approaches in surgery for glaucoma, congenital cataract and retinopathy in premature babies.
