Vitrectomy
My grandmother had her macular hole surgery by Dr. Anat Loewenstein. She is a highly professional doctor and dealt with my grandmother with patience. The surgery was done successfully despite the low success probability.

cataract, IOL placement
I decided to put IOLs a long time ago, they were recommended to me by ophthalmologists in the district clinic. At the same time, my friends were talking about unsuccessful cases of operations, when patients could no longer or almost could not see. Therefore, I was afraid to make a decision and delayed the decision as much as I could. I started looking for information on the Internet, and found out that cataract surgeries have been performed abroad for a long time and are not something complicated. Therefore, it was decided to be treated abroad. A friend of a relative helped me choose a doctor, she is an ophthalmologist interested in foreign developments in this area, and she also knows foreign specialists. She advised to contact Professor Anat Loewenstein, a recognized world-class expert. I had a consultation with her 3 weeks later. After the examination, the professor gave recommendations on the operation, which was carried out at the Sourasky clinic. Everything went well. After an operation on my right eye, where there was a mature cataract, I began to see well, as if I had been born again. The operation on the second eye no longer scared me. I am deeply grateful to Professor Anat Loewenstein, as well as the specialists of the Sourasky Clinic for the work done. The world around me shone with colors!
