Dobrobut Medical Center strengths

“We perform washing of nasolacrimal canal successfully. Executive staff has organized us a perfect surgically clean room.”

There is a vision protection room in Dobrobut clinic, where children undergo treatment of myopia, heterotropia, eyesight disorders, lazy eye. All the diseases are synonymic to “poor sight” expression! Many children with heterotropia had no need for a surgery, they regained sight in the result of instrumental treatment.”

Trends in pediatric ophthalmology

“The number of doctors that know how to treat children's heterotropia has decreased. Many doctors are afraid of small children, but the majority pays little attention to the study of heterotropia problem.”

About life

“The problem of many parents is the attitude to visual organs as to technical instruments. “The eye is like a camera.” We should not compare an eye to a gadget! We cannot transform many processes of our brain activity in technical categories. We should preserve our eyesight starting from childhood!”

About work

“It is always more interesting to work with children. It is a large field for creativity. Children ask interesting questions regardless of their age. You never know what to expect!”

“I like to observe the progress in treatment of the three-year old diagnosed with heterotropia at the age of one year, I like to see that we prevented the progressing of the disease, I like to observe how a patient regains his or her eyesight.”

“Not only the patients form other districts of Kyiv, but also those from other cities of Poltava, Chernihiv, Zhyromyr oblasts come for a consultation to us. A lot of patients from Chekasy and Sumy oblast have come recently.”

“You should give a child with poor sight the possibility to feel that glasses are necessary. I often use my own experience in explanations, I tell that it is not the worst thing in the world. You should understand the psychological problems of children who begin to wear glasses. They think: what has happened? I did not see well at school before, but I was somehow dealing with that. How to enter the class for the first time... wearing the glasses?”

About interests

“I embroider, sew, help my daughter in her dancing and concert activities. I like science fiction! I combine watching films with running on the cardio-vascular machine.”
