Bo Kun Highlights Light for Sight’s Keratoconus Screening Event in Andijan

The recent keratoconus screening initiative led by Nikki Hafezi und der Light for Sight Stiftung in collaboration with local Uzbek health professionals has garnered significant attention, including coverage on the popular TV program, Bo Kun. This event, hosted at the Andijan State Medical Institute, marked a crucial milestone in advancing pediatric eye care in Uzbekistan.

A Collaborative Effort to Improve Eye Health

The screening event, held earlier this month, was part of a broader initiative to address keratoconus in children, particularly those with Down Syndrome. Over 300 children in the region received specialized evaluations, supported by the Public Health National Agency and Light for Sight’s expertise. Swiss specialist Nikki Hafezi played a pivotal role in this event, utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure accurate and comprehensive evaluations.

According to Bo Kun, the program’s success was made possible through years of collaboration between the Andijan Institute of Medicine and international experts in pediatric ophthalmology. This partnership underscores the critical role of interdisciplinary and cross-border cooperation in improving global health outcomes.

Comprehensive Screenings and Meaningful Diagnoses

The initiative emphasized both theoretical and practical approaches to keratoconus detection and management. Medical professionals engaged in extensive seminars and training to enhance their diagnostic capabilities. The screenings were carried out meticulously, with a focus on providing detailed medical evaluations for each child.

While most children screened were in good health, one case involved the identification of an additional condition, demonstrating the complexity and necessity of such initiatives. Parents received thorough medical reports, ensuring that they were well-informed about their child’s health status.

A Holistic Approach to Pediatric Ophthalmology

Art therapy and holistic care were also highlighted as integral components of the treatment framework discussed during the event. These elements align with the broader philosophy of the Light for Sight Foundation, which prioritizes patient-centric approaches to health care.

Nikki Hafezi’s contributions, coupled with the dedication of Uzbek health professionals, underscore the importance of equitable access to advanced diagnostic tools. By bringing these resources directly to underserved communities, this initiative aims to bridge gaps in care and foster early detection of conditions like keratoconus.

A Paradigm Shift in Eye Care

Das Bo Kun segment also emphasized the paradigm shift represented by this initiative. By integrating medical specialists into educational institutions and adopting innovative diagnostic methods, the Andijan State Medical Institute is setting a new standard for pediatric ophthalmology in the region. This approach has already proven effective, with seminars and training programs receiving widespread praise for their impact and organization.

Blick in die Zukunft

As highlighted by Bo Kun, this initiative is only the beginning. The ongoing collaboration between local and international health professionals holds immense potential for further advancements in pediatric eye care. With the continued support of organizations like the Light for Sight Foundation, the Andijan region is poised to become a model for effective and accessible eye health initiatives.

Through initiatives like this, the commitment to providing equitable health care solutions for all continues to grow stronger. The Light for Sight Foundation and its partners remain dedicated to bringing technology and expertise to the people who need it most.

Die jüngste Screening-Initiative für Keratokonus, geleitet von Nikki Hafezi und der Light for Sight Stiftung in Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen usbekischen Gesundheitsfachkräften, hat große Aufmerksamkeit erregt, einschliesslich einer Berichterstattung in der beliebten Fernsehsendung Bo Kun. Diese Veranstaltung, die am Andijan State Medical Institute stattfand, markierte einen wichtigen Meilenstein zur Förderung der pädiatrischen Augenheilkunde in Usbekistan.

Eine gemeinsame Anstrengung zur Verbesserung der Augengesundheit

Das Screening-Event, das Anfang dieses Monats stattfand, war Teil einer breiteren Initiative zur Bekämpfung von Keratokonus bei Kindern, insbesondere bei solchen mit Down-Syndrom. Über 300 Kinder in der Region wurden speziell untersucht, unterstützt von der Nationalen Gesundheitsbehörde und der Expertise der Light for Sight Foundation. Die Schweizer Spezialistin Nikki Hafezi spielte eine zentrale Rolle bei diesem Event und setzte fortschrittliche Diagnosetechniken ein, um genaue und umfassende Untersuchungen sicherzustellen.

Laut Bo Kun wurde der Erfolg des Programms durch jahrelange Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Andijan State Medical Institute und internationalen Experten der pädiatrischen Augenheilkunde ermöglicht. Diese Partnerschaft unterstreicht die entscheidende Rolle von interdisziplinärer und grenzüberschreitender Zusammenarbeit bei der Verbesserung globaler Gesundheitsergebnisse.

Umfassende Untersuchungen und bedeutsame Diagnosen

Die Initiative betonte sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Ansätze zur Erkennung und Behandlung von Keratokonus. Medizinische Fachkräfte nahmen an intensiven Seminaren und Schulungen teil, um ihre diagnostischen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Die Screenings wurden sorgfältig durchgeführt, mit dem Ziel, detaillierte medizinische Untersuchungen für jedes Kind zu bieten.

Während die meisten untersuchten Kinder gesund waren, wurde in einem Fall eine zusätzliche Erkrankung diagnostiziert, was die Komplexität und Notwendigkeit solcher Initiativen zeigt. Eltern erhielten umfassende medizinische Berichte, die sicherstellten, dass sie gut über den Gesundheitszustand ihres Kindes informiert waren.

Ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz in der pädiatrischen Augenheilkunde

Kunsttherapie und ganzheitliche Pflege wurden ebenfalls als integrale Bestandteile des Behandlungsrahmens hervorgehoben, der während der Veranstaltung diskutiert wurde. Diese Elemente entsprechen der Philosophie der Light for Sight Foundation, die patientenzentrierte Ansätze in der Gesundheitsversorgung priorisiert.

Die Beiträge von Nikki Hafezi, kombiniert mit dem Engagement usbekischer Gesundheitsfachkräfte, unterstreichen die Bedeutung eines gerechten Zugangs zu fortschrittlichen Diagnosetools. Durch die direkte Bereitstellung dieser Ressourcen in unterversorgten Gemeinden zielt diese Initiative darauf ab, Versorgungslücken zu schliessen und die Früherkennung von Erkrankungen wie Keratokonus zu fördern.

Ein Paradigmenwechsel in der Augengesundheit

Der Bo Kun-Beitrag hob auch den durch diese Initiative repräsentierten Paradigmenwechsel hervor. Durch die Integration von medizinischen Spezialisten in Bildungseinrichtungen und die Einführung innovativer Diagnosetechniken setzt das Andijan State Medical Institute einen neuen Standard für die pädiatrische Augenheilkunde in der Region. Dieser Ansatz hat sich bereits als wirksam erwiesen, wobei Seminare und Schulungsprogramme weithin für ihre Wirkung und Organisation gelobt wurden.

Blick in die Zukunft

Wie Bo Kun hervorhob, ist diese Initiative erst der Anfang. Die fortgesetzte Zusammenarbeit zwischen lokalen und internationalen Gesundheitsfachkräften birgt ein enormes Potenzial für weitere Fortschritte in der pädiatrischen Augenheilkunde. Mit der anhaltenden Unterstützung von Organisationen wie der Light for Sight Foundation ist die Region Andijan auf dem Weg, ein Vorbild für effektive und zugängliche Augenheilkunde-Initiativen zu werden.

Durch Initiativen wie diese wächst das Engagement für gerechte Lösungen im Gesundheitswesen weiter. Die Light for Sight Foundation und ihre Partner bleiben der Aufgabe verpflichtet, Technologie und Fachwissen den Menschen bereitzustellen, die es am dringendsten benötigen.

Overall as a 50 year old, who wanted to continue to avoid wearing glasses and/or contact lenses, my goal was 100% achieved with ELZA and Dr. Hafezi. I greatly appreciated the overall approach by Dr. Hafezi and his friendly and competent team in reviewing my vision at the start and following a comprehensive eye exam- the explanations of my options. For me I chose PRK in one eye for a monovision solution to correct short sightedness which was becoming more prevalent in night driving and sports such as skiing and cycling. PRK heals slowly but the outcome is worth the wait- and the cost- you use your eyes every waking moment- and for me I cannot see any reason not to pursue better vision with the ELZA team! A great quality of life enhancement!

Thank you so much, Dr. Torres and prof. Hafezi. 26 years I was only “dreaming” about the eye surgery due to possible complications. I was worried ..Thank you for encouraging me to make a decision and thank you for your professionalism, explanations and great work!I wish you all the best, lots of success and only happy patients!

I have been to the ELZA clinic to have surgery for my miopy, as my eyes were rejecting the contacts and I was tired of wearing glasses. From the first preliminary visit, to the actual surgery and post-surgery care Dr. Hafezi and all his collaborators have been extremely professional, considerate and helpful. All the steps of the (very short!) surgery were thoroughly explained to me in order to be as calm as possible, together with the medication plan and precautions to be aware of so that my eyes could heal in the best way possible. By following their exact instructions, the healing process has been very successful and smooth, and after about one week I was able to see perfectly. I absolutely recommend this team and their expertise!

After some research on local options I decided to go with ELZA since it stood out as the best. The operation and the post-operation recovery went extremely smooth (something I was worried about with PRK). Now my vision is much better than I had hoped and I have no side effects such as dry eye or night vision problems. Thank you!

My left eye had to be operated on because of a cataract. As I had an Artiflex lens implanted a few years ago, it had to be removed first before a modern lens could be implanted to correct the cataract. Prof. Hafezi treated me in an very competent and friendly manner. I am very happy with the result.

Totally creepy, very arrogant Prof.He just want your money.It may explain, why this Prof. is not in the center of the city of Zürich and why he has been thrown away from University of Geneva.

At the moment, 3 months have passed since the moment I made laser vision correction in this clinic. and I can say that I am happy that I chose this particular clinic and Prof. F. Hafezi. The entire staff of the clinic is very friendly, treats patients with sympathy and patience if they are nervous before surgery (my big gratitude to Aida Alili for all support and patience). The doctor Hafezi and other doctors of the clinic are very professional and ready to explain to you as many times as you need. I can only recommend!

The day I had Prof Hafezi checking my keratoconus I knew I was finally in the right place after years of searching for a good ophthalmologist. Prof Hafezi recommended a surgery due to a drastic degeneration of my cornea. The surgery was performed by himself with the assistance of Dr Rodriguez, one more collaborator of Prof Hafezi’s team who got my full trust.

Professor Hafezi and the team at the ELZA Institute have done an amazing job of creating a first class eye clinic, with cutting edge technology and support. I went there for a dry eye issue and other issues with my prescription, and they were easily able to help me and put me on the road to better vision! High recommend them to anyone in the Zurich/Aargau area.
