​Primarius Igor Žuljan, MD, PhD at the other side of the operational microscope

Zagreb October 30th, 2020 – Professor Nikica Gabrić, MD, PhD implanted Synergy intraocular lenses to our Primarius Igor Žuljan, MD, PhD.

6 hours after the surgery Primarius Žuljan was able to read 1,0 distance vision and Jager 1+ close vision which are the smallest marks on the chart for sight-testing instruments.
Perfect vision at every distance has become a reality.

Primarius Igor Žuljan, MD, PhD is our exceptional surgeon with over 18.000 cataract surgeries who has shared his view as a patient on the other side of the operational microscope:

“Usage of eyeglasses for close vision to read started to cause difficulties. While being at work at Svjetlost Eye Clinic in Split, over 100 times a day, during the examination with patients I would put glasses on and off. At the time of COVID with a constant mask on they would blur. It was a perpetual situation followed by the panic not to lose spare items. Therefore I have one pair in the car, one at the bedside, another one in the kitchen, and a pair at work. Now, this is completely unnecessary. Surgery besides the anxiety effect which is a completely natural feeling we all have is a completely pain-free experience done in a short time frame. The only disturbance was caused by an operational microscope light that lasted seconds.
During the recovery process, I took a long nap, watched tv, and now I am reading news on my computer. ”

Another doctor from Svjetlost Eye Clinic is free from eyeglasses.
