For the first time in Ukraine, the innovative corneal transplant surgery was performed in Ternopil, while the Ophthalmology Department in D\u0119bica is expanding at the blink of an eye. All of that is thanks to the GoldenEye <\/em>project financed under the Interreg PL-UA Programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January this year, for the first time in Ukraine, doctors at the Ophthalmology Department of Ternopil Regional Clinical Hospital successfully performed an anterior lamellar corneal transplantation with femtosecond laser assistance (DALK). The surgery was carried out by Professor Valerii Serdiuk using state-of-the-art laser technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performing such complex procedures became possible thanks to the Ziemer Z8 LDV femtosecond laser, purchased within the GoldenEye<\/a><\/em> project entitled Improving access to eye care in the Polish-Ukrainian cross-border region<\/em>. This high-precision device allows surgeons to operate with exceptional care and accuracy, minimising the impact on healthy eye tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This laser enables procedures to be performed with very high precision and significantly reduces the risk of complications. As a result, patients recover faster, and treatment outcomes are improved, \u2013 explains Inna Hrebenyk, Head of the Ophthalmology Department at the hospital.<\/p>\n
