The Greatest Trust Begins at Home: Our Chief Surgeon Operated on His Wife

At our eye clinic, we help patients regain sharp vision and greater freedom from glasses every day. Recently, however, we experienced a procedure that carried a very personal meaning for our entire team. Our Chief Surgeon performed cataract surgery on his wife – who is also a physician.

“We chose trifocal lenses in a toric variant so that my wife could enjoy the luxury of functioning without glasses – essentially at all distances, just as she wished,” explained our Chief Surgeon, MUDr. Radan Zugar.

Operating on a member of one’s own family represents not only professional responsibility for a surgeon, but a deeply personal one as well. “I have complete trust in my husband. I know he is an excellent surgeon,” said his wife, MUDr. Michaela Zugarová. The fact that our Chief Surgeon selected this very solution for his wife clearly demonstrates one thing: he truly believes in the methods, technologies, and procedures we routinely use at our clinic. It is not just professional confidence. It is personal conviction.

When the Patient Is a Doctor

This surgery had another important dimension – the patient herself was a physician. Someone who understands medicine, is aware of the risks, asks detailed questions, and makes decisions based on professional knowledge. The fact that, as a medical professional, she chose our team and modern trifocal toric lenses is a strong affirmation of trust for us – trust not only between spouses, but also between fellow doctors.

The Same Care as for Every Patient

“The procedure was performed in the standard manner, with the same precision we dedicate to every patient,” the Chief Surgeon added. Today, cataract surgery is among the most common and safest ophthalmic procedures. Modern intraocular lenses not only remove the cataract, but can also significantly reduce or completely eliminate dependence on glasses.

We often say that we recommend to our patients only what we truly believe in ourselves. This experience confirms that in practice. Entrusting the vision of those we love to our own team and methods means trusting them completely and without hesitation.
