Weekly TÉMA: How eye defects are operated on, Interview with Dr. A. Janeková, FEBO

Just like a drummer or an organist, an eye surgeon also uses both feet on the pedals of the machines and holds tiny instruments in their hands. This is true even for completely routine refractive corneal corrections and cataract surgeries. Unlike musicians, however, they do not look at sheet music but through a microscope, because they 'play' in an area of just a few millimeters while fighting for our most important sense, through which we perceive 80% of all surrounding information: sight. Dr. Andrea Janeková, FEBO, mother of two daughters and the leading physician at the cataract and refractive surgery center at Eye Centre Prague, performs around two and a half thousand such surgeries each year.”

This is the introduction to a wonderful interview with our Dr. Andrea Janeková in the weekly TÉMA: How Eye Defects Are Operated On.

The interview with Dr. Janeková occupies eight pages in the weekly TÉMA. It addresses not only the topic of eye defect surgeries but also eye defects and diseases in general—who they affect, how they are treated, etc. In the interview, Dr. Janeková also describes how surgery proceeds from the surgeon's perspective and why men still dominate the field of eye surgery.
