The article examines the scientific research on the problems related to the state management of organizing the delivery of ophthalmologic care to the population of Kazakhstan. It has been proved that management must participate more actively in the development of ophthalmic care services so as to differentiate the approaches in delivering high-quality ophthalmic care services to the population at the regional level between state and private medicine sectors in conditions of the health system reform. The purpose of this article is to find the ways to solve the problem of providing population with aid in ophthalmopathies and to choose optimal algorithms of actions taken by primary care and hospital-based physicians to help at the first stage of vision loss. A sociological survey, as well as a prospective analysis in the form of a literature review to identify the optimal solution to this problem have been selected as the article research methods. Both hospital-based and primary health care physicians from both public, and private medical organizations served as the research study subjects. The results have shown that in this problem, i.e., in the role of providing population with ophthalmologic care at different levels of medical aid, the first place for primary care belongs to satisfaction with salaries. So, our study has demonstrated that there are about 74% satisfied doctors in both private medical institutions, and public hospitals, and more than 86% doctors, contented with salary increments. Thus, it can be inferred that enhancement of ophthalmic care services at the local level, first and foremost, requires that qualifications be improved, and salaries be raised of not only primary care doctors, but also hospital-based physicians.
