Thanks from Karel Gut – honorary president of the Czech Ice Hockey Association

Mr. Karel Gut, the honorary president of the Czech Ice Hockey Association, sent his thanks for an operation to the head surgeon Pavel Stodůlka, MD, Ph.D.

Good morning Doctor,
Once again, my wife and I would like to thank you very much for your operation.

You told me that I should not expect a miracle because the retina in my eyes and eyes of my wife is affected by age related macular degeneration (AMD). For years we have heard from eye doctors that there is no help for our vision and the surgery can not help us. But we must both say that your surgery has made an unbelievable improvement of our vision which we call a miracle. Besides being able to see the television better, I can read on my computer without glasses. I do not need to use my current glasses at all. Before I only heard that cataracts are not operated on if age-related macular degeneration is diagnosed and it was only you who had the courage to help us.
