The project "We Will Restore Vision to Defenders of Ukraine" has been operating for almost a year. During this time, 1106 servicemen, veterans, and veteran women have undergone comprehensive eye examinations, received various types of treatment, and professional recommendations for improving vision.
In particular, within the framework of the project, the following has been carried out:
- 134 eye lens replacement surgeries;
- 128 laser vision corrections;
- 44 plastic and other surgical interventions.
What is this project?
"We Will Restore Vision to Defenders of Ukraine" is an important initiative that helps treat the vision of those who lost it during combat or faced vision problems after service. Thanks to the project, veterans can undergo diagnostics for free and receive high-quality treatment at leading ophthalmological clinics in Ukraine.
Who can benefit:
- participants in combat operations;
- people with disabilities due to the war;
- those discharged from military service for health reasons but have not yet received the appropriate certificate (priority is given to those discharged due to eye diseases and injuries).
Among the free services: complete ophthalmological examination, surgical and laser treatment of eye diseases, treatment of facial scar changes.
Where to receive services:
- Kyiv: Kiltseva Street, 5B, +38 0462 90 90 90
