First one hundred laser cataract surgeries with the VICTUS femtosecond laser platform
On Tuesday 20th March 2012, Dr. Stodulka performed the one hundredth laser cataract surgery with the VICTUS femtosecond laser platform in Zlin. Gemini Eye Clinic is thus the only eye care facility in the Czech Republic equipped with a laser platform for cataract surgeries. The new laser method for cataract surgeries makes the surgery more gentle, safer and it significantly improves the precision of the surgery steps in comparison with the traditional method.
The use of laser in cataract surgeries might be seen as a precursor of robotic surgery. In the small eye space, the method means a step forward within the development and technology in the field of eye medicine.
President of the Czech Republic, Mr. Vaclav Klaus, has been one of the first patients in Europe who underwent laser cataract surgery on the VICTUS femtosecond laser platform.
The surcharge for the use of the VICTUS laser is 9500 CZK / 380 EUR per one eye.
