Ida told us she has been wearing glasses since she was a little girl and was often commented by her friends: ”I’ve been in school with those huge pink glasses since third grade and it’s always been a drama and a trauma for me.”

Decision about the surgery that changes the view of the world

She has been thinking about laser eye surgery for a while, hesitated and read about the procedure. The more she informed herself, the more she realized that this is a routine operation, which lasts 15 minutes per eye, it is performed in drip anesthesia and after surgery she can go home immediately.

The expirence of her friends who also had their diopter removed by laser eye surgery at Bilić Vision Polyclinic was extremely positive and everyone was very satisfied with the whole process and the quality of life they have after the operation. Perfect eyesight and ease of performing her daily activities without glasses and contact lenses encouraged her to decide to do this. She had an examn with specialist ophthalmologist in Bilić Vision Polyclinic, doctor Luka Bilić, where Ida proved to be an excellent candidate for surgery.

The day of operation

„Laser eye surgery is an elective procedure and primarily increases the quality of life. Excellent candidates are all people over the age of 18 who have had a stable diopter for at least a year. If a detailed ophthalmological examn for laser eye surgery determines that the person is a good candidate for surgery, there is actually no risk for the patient, the operation is completely safe and the patient can do it the next day.“ shared with us specialist ophthalmologist of the Polyclinic Bilić Vision, dr. Luka Bilić, who is also a surgeon who performs the surgeries. Ida Prester underwent the Lasik Contoura Vision method, which is currently considered the most accurate Lasik method in the world for removing diopters from the eyes. It records the cornea at 22,000 points, so according to such a map of the cornea, which is entered into a laser computer, an individualized laser beam is guided for the most precise diopter removal possible.

On the day of the operation, Ida Prester was in the safe hands of the team in the operation hall headed by dr. Luka Bilić. After the successful operation, Ida protected her eyes with sunglasses, followed the instructions and soon achieved excellent visual acuity.

For Ida, laser eye surgery was the first eye surgery and in addition to being encouraged by her friends who were already patients at the Bilić Vision Polyclinic, she was additionally trusted by the fact that the Bilić Vision Polyclinic has existed for more than 25 years and has state-of-the-art laser technology. diopter removal, and more than 12,000 patients in the last 10 years have decided to get rid of glasses and contact lenses forever.

Ida about life without glasses

“I can finally drive without glasses. Now it’s completely weird to me, I constantly have the feeling that I normally keep them next to me in the car that I should put them on now, I reach out to put them on and then I realize I don’t need them anymore. After the surgery I comfortably put on my sunglasses and I saw everything. It used to be my main problem, driving and putting on glasses and then sunglasses on them,”, Ida Prester shared with us and added: “I wish I had this operation before, I would save myself a lot of trouble in life: without squinting, squeezing my eyes, and ignoring people I don’t see. I would be very glad if I had the courage to have this operation at the Bilić Vision Polyclinic before. “

Take a look at the journey from arrival to the examination to the experience after the operation at the Bilić Vision Polyclinic:

It is important to note that from a financial point of view, continuous purchasing of new frames and lenses for your glasses, contact lenses, and lens fluids as well as regular ophthalmic check-ups cost more than laser vision correction done at once.

Also, what was a few years ago unimaginable, to see better than with glasses and contact lenses after laser eye surgery, today is possible with Contoura Vision as the most accurate personalized laser diopter diagnostic procedure that takes place before the surgery itself. Contoura Vision is different from other diagnostics because it measures absolutely all irregularities on the cornea (aberrations of the higher and lower order). Measurements allow the laser to eliminate nearsightedness, distance vision and astigmatism in 20 to 50 year-olds to the most accurate extent possible. It is important to note that, apart from the diopter, Contoura also facilitates the removal of glare, as well as nighttime driving problems.

Objava 5 facts about laser diopter and astigmatism removal pojavila se prvi puta na Bilic Vision.

MYTH # 1 What if I get blind or laser burns my eye?

Believe it or not, a substantial part of the patients are afraid that they can be blinded by the effects of the laser, or that the laser will burn their eyes. This is of course a myth. Each laser eye correction is individualized – determined for each eye individually. Each laser pulse is fully controlled from its point of origin to the contact with the cornea. The laser does not penetrate the inside of the eye and cannot cause any damage. Since this type of surgery was first been performed, no persistent complications have been reported even 20 years later.

MYTH # 2 Laser cannot remove astigmatism.

One of the most widespread myths is that astigmatism cannot be removed with a laser. Indeed, the laser is the most accurate and only lasting solution for removing astigmatism. If it is a high astigmatism, it is possible to have a lower recovery of the diopter which can be taken care of by additional correction.

MYTH # 3 The surgery is painful

The operation is performed under local anesthesia so that the patient, although awake, does not feel any pain. For example, the operation of inserting any implants is riskier than the laser removal of the diopter. Also, in the case of eye movement outside the laser working zone, the laser automatically turns off. Therefore, the patient does not have to worry about the possible movement of the eye during surgery, as this cannot disturb or jeopardize the course of the procedure.

MYTH # 4 The late effects of the procedure are not known

People are often afraid that they will have negative consequences later in life. However, almost among all patients there is only transient dryness of the eye and lasts for several months with a tendency of weakening the symptoms as time passes. There is a slight feeling of sand in the eyes, and the feeling is relieved by regularly applying teardrops (6-8 times a day). Complications are possible in about 1% of cases, and it is important to note that they are all transient and solvable. Late changes or consequences on the cornea do not exist because we have had the experience of using this method and its side effects for over 20 years.

MYTH # 5 I cannot see any better after surgery than I see now with the lenses.

Contoura Vision, the revolutionary, and the most accurate personalized diagnostics that takes place before the laser removal of the diopter, allows you to see better than with glasses and contact lenses after the laser removal of the diopter. Contoura Vision is different from other diagnostics because it measures absolutely all irregularities in the cornea (aberrations and higher and lower order). The measurements are connected to a laser that can then be used to eliminate nearsightedness, distant vision, and astigmatism at the age of 20 to 50. It is important to note that, apart from the diopter, Contoura also enables the removal of glares as well as nighttime driving problems.

The patients who have undergone a laser eye surgery can confirm that not everything is as it may appear to be:

It is just a little discomfort, and it takes only a couple of minutes. Everyone has had a toothache or headache in their life, but laser eye surgery is nothing compared to that pain.” Ana B., Polyclinic Bilić Vision, Zagreb

In addition to being painless and short-lasting, permanent diopter removal greatly facilitates everyday situations for people who used to wear glasses and contact lenses.

There are no more fogged-up glasses while I’m cooking… Now I can see perfectly, I do everything without any problems. The best thing is that I do not need glasses, I do not have to worry about forgetting them somewhere. Nothing is getting fogged up anymore. “Boris K., Polyclinic Bilić Vision, Zagreb

Objava We reveal to you what laser eye surgery is really like pojavila se prvi puta na Bilic Vision.

Some people develop a cataract at an early age. It often happens to those who are not inclined to wear sunglasses with appropriate UV protection, smokers, diabetics, people who use corticosteroids, or are exposed to various types of radiation every day.
Recent US studies have shown that more than 20 million Americans over the age of 40 have a cataract on one or both of their eyes.

1. Blurred vision
Cataract at an early-stage has no symptoms connected to visual acuity. Some specific images around you may seem blurry as looked at through fog or water. However, over time, more and more things that are being looked at become clouded, blurry, and pale.

2. Night drive
As the cataract progresses, the image that the eye sees takes on yellow and brown shades. It begins to affect night vision and makes night driving much more difficult.

3. Glare
Light sensitivity is also one of the symptoms of a cataract to such an extent that glare can be even painful.

4. Halo Effect
Clouding of the eye lens can cause an irregular dispersion of light entering the eye. This can result in the appearance of a halo effect. Halo is the dispersion of light in the form of rings around the light source, sometimes even in different colors. This can be particularly dangerous while driving, which is another additional reason why driving in cases of an early stage cataract is not recommended.

5. Glasses are no longer good enough for you
If it seems to you lately that your glasses are becoming too weak and no longer right for you, there is a great possibility that you have a cataract or some other eye disease. Rapid change of the diopter and eye condition should be checked immediately during a specialist ophthalmic examination.

6. Yellow-brown world
With the progression of cataract, due to sclerosis and changes in the protein composition of the ocular lens, the lens may become yellow or brown. This results in a kind of blocking of blue and violet light, and the colors we see become yellow or brown. More precisely, there is a decrease in the ability to recognize the colors. After the surgery of removing clouded eye lenses and artificial lens implantation, the patients are often surprised to recognize colors again.

7. Double vision
Eye lens diffraction in the case of cataract can often cause double vision.

Besides cataract, double vision can also be caused by:
• Brain tumor
• Rupture of membranes
• Multiple Sclerosis or
• Heart attack
