As it seemed to me, the most complex operations at the British Ophthalmological Center are performed by the Chief Physician - a top class doctor - Andriy Mykolayovych Zhuk, who is assisted by a highly qualified team. And his right hand is Rudyak Ulyana Ivanivna - the head of the advisory and diagnostic department. After the operation, I called them "Beatles" not only because that is how the doctor's last name sounds in English, but also because their highly qualified work is known not only in Ukraine. While waiting for the examination, I repeatedly met foreigners who were being examined or waiting for an operation. My case turned out to be complicated, in addition to cataracts, there were problems with the retina. However, the operation was successful. I am very grateful to Andrii Mykolayovych and his team for their professionalism, attention and sensitive, attentive attitude towards patients. And Ulyana Ivanovna also for the postoperative support. We have a lot to be proud of. Our surgeons perform the most complex operations in such a difficult time for the country. We would like to wish the entire team good health and long life, creative energy, endless energy, fruitful projects, creative like-minded colleagues and followers. Good luck on all life's paths! And we wish all of us a speedy victory.

I, Abbyasova Shamilya Mukhlisova, want to thank the team of doctors (Andriy Mykolayovych, Kateryna Valentynivna), as well as the sensitive nurse Tetyana Kohtachova for the "easy hands". I wish them to keep it up and success in their work.

The best birthday present is seeing again.
Many thanks to the British Eye Center for this opportunity. Attention and high professionalism is your horse.
We wish your team only lightning victories in the struggle of light over darkness!

I, Valentina Mykolaivna Vorobyova, underwent cataract surgery at the "British Ophthalmology Center" 4 years ago on one eye, a year ago on the left. I had excellent English Rayner lens surgery. I was very happy. But the problem with the retina remained in the eye. It did not depend on the doctors. The vision in my left eye began to deteriorate. In the city hospital, I was offered an injection of Ailiya. In this clinic, this procedure costs UAH 8,000. and it needs to be pricked constantly. I went to the "British Ophthalmology Center" and after a full examination, they told me that I had a dry form of cystic macular edema. This injection is absolutely contraindicated for me. I would go blind after this injection! At that time, my vision dropped to 20%.
After the examination at the British Center, I was treated by Rudyak Ulyana Ivanivna - very sensitive and professional. In addition to treating my eye, Ulyana Ivanovna reassured me: "Don't worry. We will do everything possible and improve your vision!"
I came to the center in May 2023 and today, August 24, on the Independence Day of Ukraine, I have a double holiday - my vision has recovered to 100%. I cannot convey my joy and my son's.
I want to say a big thank you to Ulyana Ivanovna and all the staff of the "British Ophthalmological Center". Very attentive staff.

I, Halyna Vilkhova Vasylivna, am very grateful to the employees of the "British Ophthalmological Center", and especially to doctor Andrii Mykolayovych Zhuk, for my restored sight and the joy of being able to see the world in bright colors.

My son advised me to contact the British Ophthalmological Center. After the consultation, the lovely doctor, describing the cataract surgery, informed me that tomorrow my life will change and I will see percent "without fog". I took this information as advertising. But ... the day after the operation of one eye, I was already dialing a phone number without glasses, a check on modern devices, which are in sufficient quantity at the Center, confirmed that the vision in the eye after the operation was 100% and I was able to clearly read the name on the badge doctor - Vita Konstantinovna Konstantinova and see her beautiful smile. I am very grateful to her for her sensitivity, professionalism, desire to help as much as possible.

I would also like to thank Ulyana Ivanovna Rudyak for her consultation regarding the operation of the second eye. The clinic leaves a very good impression - everything is clearly organized, everyone is in their place, the Center works like a Swiss watch.

My name is Hryhoriy Ivanovich Porohivnyk, I am 65 years old and I am a patient of the "British Ophthalmology Center".
It so happened in my life that I did not pay much attention to my health, including the health of my eyes. About a year and a half ago, I went to an ophthalmologist and, to be honest, he did not do anything to stabilize the cataract. The problems started when I realized that I was not good at determining the distance to the object and it was uncomfortable for me to drive. I went to three clinics, together with my wife, and my wife was also advised to have two options: from having to do surgery immediately, to the initial stage and not having to do it at all. In general, the cost of medicine.
I started monitoring the Internet. I found a lot of videos from Oleksiy (not an ophthalmologist), for which special thanks to him. Personally, he helped me a lot, especially if I knew almost nothing about it.
The most important thing is the qualifications of the surgeon, the doctor who selects the parameters of the lens and quality equipment. Unfortunately, the choice of lens is given to you personally, and no one can guarantee that the result will meet your expectations.
I was lucky, the examination and all the measurements were done by a wonderful doctor, Ukrainian, athlete and beautiful person Rudyak Ulyana Ivanivna. If you need advice, contact her and do not make a mistake. He is the best ophthalmologist I have met in my life.
With the choice of the operating surgeon, I was even more lucky. This is Andriy Mykolayovych Zhuk, golden hands, plus the highest qualifications and the same golden soul, love for his work and people, this is what characterizes this person.
The atmosphere in the clinic is friendly and pleasant. Thanks to everyone who participated in the operation, as well as to the staff of the clinic.
Today is the fifth day. I am going to a consultation. I think that during the inspection it will be about one hundred percent. I can see both in the distance and near well (they were not mistaken with the calculation of the parameters). TECNIS Symfony lens with astigmatism correction. In the evening, bright sources have artifacts in the form of rays or halos. I hope it will pass, but you can put up with it. The brightness of the image at night is the same as with a healthy eye.
Once again, a huge THANK YOU to everyone!!!

I, Tsaryk Volodymyr Yakovych, underwent cataract surgery. I am very satisfied with the result of the operation.
