What happens when one eye sees clearly, but the other is still short-sighted?👁️
Your brain has to process two very different images, making it harder to adjust to the new vision.

At Latvijas Amerikas acu centrs/Latvian American Eye Center in Riga, both eyes are often treated on the same day to avoid this imbalance and help patients adapt more comfortably.

Bunion surgery doesn’t have to mean weeks off your feet. 👣

Minimally invasive bunion surgery offers less pain and earlier mobility.

At ORTO Klīnika in Riga, patients are usually allowed to bear weight from the first post-operative day, using a special shoe for around 4 to 6 weeks. After about 2 weeks, the shoe can typically be removed at home, while crutches are often needed only for a few days up to 2 weeks.

If both knees need replacing, do you really need two separate operations?

Not necessarily. At ORTO Klīnika in Riga, both knees or hips can be replaced during a single surgical session, combining two major procedures into one treatment journey.

If you’re considering IVF abroad, the first trip shouldn’t be spent figuring out what happens next. 🔬

Much of the groundwork can start before you travel, with an online consultation and a review of your previous treatment and IVF history.

Then, during one visit to Riga, you can have a fertility consultation, ultrasound and blood tests, and leave with a clear treatment plan, preparation steps and timeline.
Your next trip can then be focused on the treatment itself, such as egg retrieval or embryo transfer.

At Clinic EGV in Riga, much of your IVF journey can be planned before treatment begins. 🤰
