Experience similar to a spa treatment for eyes. Completely painless, no side effects and immediate recovery.
Modern technology
IPL + LLLT for Meibomian glands.
The synergistic combination of two cutting-edge technologies stimulates the lipid-producing glands and reduces chronic inflammation.
Fast results
Visible improvement after the first sessions.
Patients notice significant improvement in symptoms: less burning, redness and gritty sensation in the eyes.
What is dry eye syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when tears do not sufficiently lubricate the ocular surface. It can be caused by insufficient tear production or rapid evaporation due to Meibomian gland dysfunction. Symptoms include burning, redness, gritty sensation, eye fatigue and, paradoxically, excessive tearing as a compensatory response.
Common causes
Why do dry eyes occur?
Prolonged screen exposure (computer, phone)
Air conditioning or excessive heating
Prolonged contact lens wear
Hormonal factors (more common in women)
Certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants)
Autoimmune diseases or eyelid conditions
Symptoms
How to recognize dry eyes?
Burning or stinging sensation
Redness and eye irritation
Foreign body or gritty sensation in eyes
Temporary blurred vision
Eye fatigue, especially in the evening
Paradoxical excessive tearing
Synergistic technologies for eye comfort
The combination of IPL and LLLT offers a complete approach to treating dry eye syndrome, addressing both causes and symptoms.
Optimal Power Energy™
IPL - Intense Pulsed Light
OPE-IPL® technology calibrated for eyes – the only IPL lamp that doesn't require gel. Precise thermal pulses heat Meibomian gland secretions, improve circulation and reduce inflammation. The procedure takes just minutes, and the biological effect continues for hours to days.
Light Modulation™
LLLT - Photobiomodulation
Low-Level Light Therapy generates gentle endogenous warming, facilitates lipid component release and has anti-inflammatory effects. Red and blue masks offer complementary benefits.
VisionSPA® Procedures
The OPE-IPL® lamp (Optimal Power Energy-Intense Pulsed Light) uses medical-grade IPL technology calibrated specifically for eyes – it's the only IPL lamp in the world that can be applied without gel, thanks to an innovative thermal filter that keeps the temperature low during application. OPE-IPL® offers the largest treatment surface area.
The light acts in milliseconds, with a few pulses for each eye. The pulses generate precise thermal energy that heats Meibomian gland secretions, improves vascular circulation and reduces inflammation at the eyelid level.
A biological effect is triggered that continues for hours to days after the session. Usually, 3-5 sessions are needed, at 7-14 day intervals.
The LLLT red mask provides gentle and uniform warming of the eyelids, stimulating blood circulation and natural lipid secretion. Red light penetrates tissues and activates cellular regeneration processes.
The treatment is extremely relaxing, with patients describing a pleasant sensation of warmth. Ideal for Meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye.
The LLLT blue mask has powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Blue light reduces bacterial colonization and calms chronic inflammation associated with blepharitis and ocular rosacea.
It is especially recommended for patients with blepharitis, ocular rosacea, or recurrent eyelid margin infections. It can be combined with the red mask for synergistic effects.
The DEA 520 Pro Dry Eye+ investigation provides a complete analysis of dry eye syndrome: tear film evaluation, Meibomian gland function, corneal surface analysis and tear break-up time measurement.
The results allow the doctor to personalize treatment and monitor progress. It is recommended before starting VisionSPA® therapy to establish an optimal treatment plan.

My name is Mariana Morar and I am 60 years old. 6 months ago, I entered the clinic's website, informed myself and made an appointment with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, thinking that there is no such empathetic doctor...advertisement, I told myself!
I was very surprised when I met the doctor and the clinic staff, chosen as if by the doctor's personality, a warm, patient, empathetic, professional person who inspires trust from the first moment!
The dioptre correction operation went perfectly and was short-lived, I didn't count, but it lasted 15-20 seconds of my eyes. It's hard for me to describe in words, how good I felt during and after the intervention.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the doctor, the team and the staff.
I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to everyone who wants to get rid of glasses!

I chose the Clario clinic and Dr. Monica Apostolescu for a SMILE intervention, and the results were excellent. From a medical point of view, the recovery was extremely fast: I started to see immediately after leaving the operating room, and the next day, at the check-up, my visual acuity was already 20/20 (perfect vision).
The clinic is new, spacious and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. The intervention itself was quick and completely painless. In total, the procedure lasted around 20 minutes and the laser only worked on each eye for a few seconds, the preparation for the intervention took longer.
I would also like to mention the professionalism of the whole team: the doctor conveys a lot of confidence and clearly explains each stage, and the reception staff, nurses and doctors had an impeccable and kind attitude during all visits.
I want to thank everyone for the success of this intervention and for the support given. I recommend with all confidence.
Attached is the picture immediately after the intervention

Un medic deosebit, atent, răbdător și foarte profesionist. Mi-a explicat totul clar și pe înțelesul meu, mi-a răspuns la toate întrebările și mi-a inspirat multă încredere.
Am apreciat în mod special atenția acordată și faptul că nu am simțit nicio grabă pe parcursul consultației. O experiență foarte bună, într-o clinică în care m-am simțit bine primită și tratată cu grijă.
Recomand cu mare drag Clinica Clario și, în mod special, pe doamna dr. Monica Apostolescu! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the first contact, the team was extremely calm, warm and attentive. They explained everything to me step by step and made me feel safe every step of the way.
The operation went perfectly, and the result... is hard to describe in words. I literally feel like I've been reborn. I couldn't believe how well I could see.
The doctor is a special professional: calm, patient. It gives you confidence from the first moment.
I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to everyone who wants to get rid of glasses and see the world really clearly.❤️

Infinitely grateful to doctor Monitsa Apostolescu! I have small astigmatism and -3.5 diopters, and also dry eye syndrome, because of which I was worried that after the operation the dryness would become even greater. But the experiences were in vain. Thanks to SmilePro, the surgery itself and the rehabilitation after it went incredibly easy! Жодной боли под час та последний! No side effects that I read online. Only dryness on the first day, and only the pleasure of incredibly clear vision - even 100% clear vision! In the office I saw 1.6 rows, which is simply incredible, considering you, before the operation I didn't even see the first row :)
Ms. Dr. Silvia Chiotoroiu is an exceptional doctor, very empathetic and who recommends solutions, gives you explanations, finds solutions to problems, which you do not find from other doctors.
I chose the Clario clinic based on the reviews and I do not regret for a moment the choice made, which is why I encourage all those who want to get rid of their glasses to call with confidence.

I recommend Clario to anyone who wants to get rid of their glasses. Ms Monica Apostolescu gave me all the information about the procedure, answered all my questions and gave me the confidence I needed to do the intervention. I had been wearing glasses for over 10 years, having myopia on both eyes, dioptre -4 and I wanted to get rid of the glasses. At Clario everything is superlative: the staff is very kind, the latest equipment and all the flawless medical act. I recommend Clario ! I recommend Dr. Monica Apostolescu !
Good location. The clinic has professional staff, they are understanding, they explained everything to me and offered me the most suitable solutions for me. Thank you all. We will come back with great love.

I have been looking for the right clinic for a long time and I am very satisfied with my choice. As an operation, the procedure lasts a maximum of 25 minutes (from the time you leave the waiting room until you return) and the actual intervention itself lasts a few minutes. There is an adaptation period but it is normal and for me a week after the procedure the distance vision is perfect, the near vision becomes better every day. As a technology, after the checks, SMILE was recommended to me, and I can say that I recommend both the procedure and the Clario clinic with great pleasure! The doctor is a special person! 🙌
After the consultation, I felt very confident, thanks to the professionalism of the entire medical team and especially Dr. Monica Apostolescu. I can't wait to have the surgery.

The location, as well as the entrance to the premises, are not well signposted, but from the moment you enter, starting from the reception, everything changes. The atmosphere becomes friendly, the staff is very kind... Doctor Dina, very young, surprised me with total confidence in the execution of the medical act and by the soothing sensation she conveys. The nurse, whose name I do not know, is also a comforting presence. I like to think that the entire medical staff is chosen according to this pattern. Without wishing for serious eye problems, if I did have them, I would definitely turn to CLARIO.
Quality services provided by quality people! Everything superlative! Congratulations to the doctors and the entire staff! I will gladly return in 6 months for another check!
Impeccable services, friendly staff who show professionalism, empathy and seriousness. Miss Dr. Maria Dina - a dedicated, empathetic, communicative and professional doctor.

I chose the Clario clinic for the SMILE Pro procedure and I am very satisfied with the whole experience. The intervention was quick and completely painless, and Mrs. Dr. Apostolescu was very attentive and explained everything to me, which made me feel safe throughout the procedure.
Recovery was also very fast. From the second day I was able to drive and work without glasses, which for me was an extraordinary advantage.
All in all, I am very satisfied with both the professionalism of the Clario team and the result of the intervention and I recommend them!
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, organization and especially the attention and warmth of the staff.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Dr. Monica Apostolescu!

I had Presbyond laser surgery a week ago on both eyes and I'm in the adjustment period, but I can say that right after I left the operating room I was already seeing considerably better than before. After going through all the pre-operative investigations, carried out very thoroughly and with the latest technology, I was convinced that Ms. Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the Clario team are leaders in their field and that I will be in good hands. I thank them and congratulate them from the bottom of my heart for their professionalism and the warmth with which they greet their patients!
I was pleasantly surprised in every way and I am a picky person. In a word, perfect! I am waiting without emotions for the intervention by Monica Apostolescu.

I do not speak Romianian but the staff was very comfortable in English and was very friendly. I went to verify if my eyes could be lasered to avoid wearing glasses/contacts and chose ReLEx SMILE ZEISS after getting all a very clear explanation of the advantages/disadvantages. After the operation that was painless, I could directly see. After two hours of tearing I had no further discomfort (no redness,dryness, tearing). The next day I had perfect vision, which was confirmed by the check-up.
A super positive point : prices are exactly as described on their website, no deviation.
Overall : super professional and friendly staff that speaks English,clean and professional environment and transparent prices

I had the opportunity to experience the biggest change in my life at Clario, under the guidance of Dr. Monica Apostolescu. After 16 years of wearing glasses, I decided to take the step towards Femto Lasik surgery. It was one of the best decisions I've made so far. Dr. Monica Apostolescu impressed me from the first consultation - her professionalism, attention to detail and empathy were outstanding. He patiently explained each step of the procedure to me and this helped me feel safe and well informed. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and the recovery was easier than I could have imagined. Now, more than 3 months after the operation, I can see perfectly without glasses, and I can say that I have completely forgotten the feeling of wearing them. I was given back the freedom and visual clarity I hadn't had in years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the Clario team for an exceptional experience! I recommend with all confidence!
Professional from reception to consultation. I thank Dr. Dina who had the patience to explain my problem and come up with a suitable solution. I will be back 😎
The experience at the clinic was extremely pleasant. I really like Dr. Magureanu as a professional because she adds valuable information outside of dance specialization but also as a person. She is wonderful!

I decided to take the step towards dioptre reduction surgery with Presbyond technology because I wanted to get rid of the dependence on glasses, especially in daily activities, but also in my free time. I am a stomatology doctor and I need a clear and precise vision, and the glasses were starting to become a burden. I had no fears or reservations before the intervention; seeing what are the recommendations for this clinic, I went with all confidence. From the first visit to the clinic, everything went extremely efficiently and quickly; I was quickly taken care of by the ladies assistants for the rigorous measurements and later during the actual consultations I had detailed explanations and all the necessary information. I was impressed by the professionalism and empathy of Dr. Monica Apostolescu, and this helped me overcome any anxiety. The surgery itself was quicker than I expected and completely painless. The anesthesia is local, topical / with drops, completely painless and without discomfort; the whole procedure is without any pain. The staff was extremely attentive to my comfort throughout the procedure. Everything took place in a very modern and friendly environment. After the operation, on the same day, my sight was already much improved, without needing glasses, and the next day, practically 24 hours after the intervention, I resumed my activity, being a dentist. Now, after the operation, I enjoy clear vision without glasses. I can see perfectly up close and the difference is incredible. It is liberating to be able to live without glasses and enjoy every detail of everyday life with new clarity. I wholeheartedly recommend this procedure to everyone who wants to improve their life through such an intervention, and I thank the team at Clinica Clario for the outstanding experience!
Dr. Ioana Damaschin - I recommend with great confidence and love. The consultation was very meticulous and professional and the doctor was very kind, respectful and welcoming.

I appreciated the professionalism of the doctor and all the nurses there, all the investigations were done efficiently, without long waiting periods, I received answers to all my questions and they explained to me different treatment options from which I chose according to my own wishes. Go with confidence and you will not be disappointed, you are not obliged to do anything, but you will find out how you are doing with your eye health and you will know what to do next.

A spontaneous decision you make when you feel that you are fed up with something. For me, the only thing I was tired of was seeing the world blurry, seeing everything in a fog, and not being able, not even for a second, to part with my glasses for 12 years. At first, I felt shivers of excitement, but I was not afraid. A man who feels that a change is needed in his life is strengthened by God, and when you are in the hands of a professional doctor, hope and confidence increase. After many hours of documentation and tireless searching, I discovered Clario. I enthusiastically read various reviews about how other people's lives changed, and I was enveloped by one dream: to be able to see clearly, to experience the same miraculous change. I knew that there could be risks and that it is not an easy operation, even if some might speculate that. With a deep desire to get rid of the scary dioptres (-5.50 in both eyes) I made an appointment for a post-operative check-up with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, a doctor of millions. The check went great. I was treated with special care and felt great. Every detail of the operation was explained to me patiently and carefully, and the lady doctor made me feel at home. The next day the surgery was to take place, a day I will never forget and will forever be etched in my mind. A day that would change me profoundly, one where my dreams would come true. I was greeted again with the same warmth and gentleness, and my emotions began to subside. I was more ready than ever to see myself differently, to see the world differently. I was picked up by the lady doctor and led into the operating room, a cool room, but how did I know that I would walk out on my feet, seeing people from a distance without glasses for the first time. It wasn't hard or embarrassing. I saw vibrant colors, talked to the lady doctor, and beyond the doors I could feel my mother's emotions strongly. The surgery didn't take long and everything went perfectly. I discovered how beautiful it is to see everything clearly and differently. My world changed radically from the moment I got up from the table and started looking around. Finally, after 12 years of not being able to part with my glasses and after the difficult times of enduring various labels and prejudices, I got to see with my own eyes how beautiful the world is, how wonderful life is and how good it is to perceive everything normally. I confidently and warmly recommend Clario and Mrs. Monica Apostolescu, the only person who managed to change my life forever. Now, a few days after surgery, I feel great. I have no problems and everything is exactly like in my dreams.
Answers to the most common questions about VisionSPA® treatment
Dry eye syndrome is a condition of the ocular surface caused by quantitatively insufficient or poor quality tears. The tear film fails to lubricate and protect the eye, leading to discomfort, irritation and sometimes vision problems.
Excessive tearing is often a compensatory reflex response to poor quality tear film. Reflex tears are predominantly watery and do not contain enough lipid component to prevent evaporation. Thus, although the eyes water, the ocular surface remains unprotected.
No, the treatment is completely non-invasive and painless. Most patients describe the experience as relaxing and pleasant, similar to a spa treatment for the eyes. You may feel gentle warmth in the treated area, but there is no discomfort.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to treatment. Usually, 3-5 sessions are recommended for optimal results. The ophthalmologist will establish the personalized plan after the initial evaluation.
Improvements are visible within a few weeks after treatment and the effects are maintained long-term. To maintain optimal results, periodic maintenance sessions may be needed, depending on the doctor's recommendation.
In the first 24–48 hours: avoid sun exposure and heat; no eye makeup; artificial tears are recommended. Normal visual activities are permitted.
Long-term, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations: regular eyelid hygiene, applying warm compresses if indicated and using prescribed artificial tears. Regular check-ups are essential for monitoring progress.
