Kristýna
On October 17, 2017, the Gemini Eye Clinic in Zlín successfully performed the first-ever correction of farsightedness using the ReLEx SMILE method in the Czech Republic. Dr. Pavel Stodůlka already had extensive experience with this technique, having used it to treat nearsightedness since 2014; however, the surgery for farsightedness had its national premiere on this day.
Ms. Kristýna, the very first patient in the CR to undergo this specific procedure, was surprised by how painless it was.
“My vision was a little blurry, but still much better than without the glasses I used to wear,” she said, describing her condition immediately after the surgery. “It was also a huge surprise that my vision was much better as early as the next day,” she added, praising the speed of healing and the rapid recovery of her sight.
