I found out that I have diopter when I was 14 years old. At that first examination, I was shocked because I was told that without glasses I could only see 30% in one eye and 40% in the other eye. Those were teenage days and because of the worry of how my friends would accept me at school, I refused to wear glasses, and because of the bad tear film, I couldn’t wear lenses. I was looking forward to turning 20 and for the eye to finish growing, so that I could do laser dioptre removal. Due to the positive experiences of other patients, dad chose to do it in Subotica. The operation was quick and painless, the only inconvenience with the PRK technique is pouring cold water over the eye. There was a certain amount of fear present, but the doctor and her approach, her warmth, gave me hope and security. When I got up from the table, the doctor said that I would see like through water, but it was more than excellent for me. I also remember the time on the clock, 14.10. The moment when you see… I don’t know how to describe it, something priceless, a beautiful feeling. Now I function most normally without glasses. I would like to praise the whole team, everyone is very kind and always goes out of their way to meet us. For example it was a problem to find some drops in Belgrade, so they immediately sent them to us by bus. Congratulations, I am very pleased and grateful for my new sight!
