The 5th year of Zlin ophthalmology festival, ZOF 2012, was being held on 9th March on the premises of Zlin Congress Center. The conference is designed for Czech and Slovak ophthalmologists and their medical staff who annually come to Zlin in March to share their experience from the daily praxis.

As a part of the conference program there were three live surgeries transmissions from the operation rooms of Gemini Eye Clinic in Zlin – cataract surgery with the VICTUS femtosecond laser platform, refractive lensectomy surgery, and all-laser LASIK surgery performed with femtosecond laser and 6D laser Amaris 750S.

For the first time in the history of the Czech ophthalmology the online transmissions were projected in 3D resolution to about 450 viewers in Zlin Congress Center and to more than 160 viewers worldwide (ie. about 50 university clinics and many private eye care facilities).

Head surgeon of Gemini Eye Clinic Dr. Pavel Stodulka performed today at Gemini Eye Clinic in Zlin first laser cataract surgery in the Czech Republic and in Europe on the femtosecond laser VICTUS platform.

The first person treated was the same patient who 18 years ago underwent laser eye correction – the first LASIK method performed by Dr. Stodulka in the Czech Republic (the patient suffered from high myopia). Today – on Tuesday 7th February 2012 – she has undergone the first laser cataract surgery on the femtosecond laser platform called VICTUS.

After the successful surgery, Vaclav Klaus departed for Prague.

Now, the President does not need his glasses anymore and sees clearly at all distances as well as at the reading distance.

Since Wednesday, 7th December 2011, Gemini Eye Clinic uses a new Ziemer Crystal Line LDV femtosecond laser. Crystal Line is the fastest and most gentle laser for laser eye surgeries available. Thanks to its precise laser technology, thus the highest possible quality of the vision is obtained. The vision improvement is achieved immediately after the surgery, very often during the first few hours after the surgery.
