I had been wearing glasses and contact lenses for 14 years; at one point my refractive error had advanced to -6. Without optical aids, I was unable to read anything or even function normally. I used to ask myself how bad the torture was for people who had even greater refractive error than myself. At one time, I had grown accustomed to medium-hard contact lenses, but while traveling and taking on an ever-busier schedule… I realized that I needed an alternative to glasses and contacts. I had first heard of laser-guided sight correction 9 years ago, but at that time many had grave reservations and were quite skeptical. I decided to wait until the technology had advanced far enough for me to consider it a viable solution to my problem.

About a year ago, my eyes started to reject contact lenses, i.e. I was having prolonged and continual problems. This came as a blow to me, as I had spent 5 relatively trouble-free years. I consulted my ophthalmologist, Dr. Suncica Sreckovic, an excellent practitioner and person. I trusted her fully, and when she advised me not to wear contacts anymore, I was very disappointed. I asked her how she felt about laser surgery and she immediately advised me to seek out Dr. Jankov, of whom I had also heard from other patients. After doing a little research on the Internet I decided to pay him a visit, because, based on his remarkable work and results in his field of specialization I had developed a lot of confidence in his abilities.

I came to the clinic full of hope that I would be able to solve my problem. I was instantly impressed by the exquisite clinic interior and the kind, obliging staff. All necessary examinations were carried out with maximal professionalism. I was overjoyed when I learned that I qualified as a candidate for LASIK surgery. The whole procedure was explained to me in great detail, and I made an appointment to undergo the surgery a month-and-a-half later. My first encounter with Dr. Jankov and his team had inspired a tremendous sense of optimism.

When I told my friends about my decision to undergo laser surgery, many of them expressed reservations and advised me to wait. However, I had firmly made up my mind, and in the days leading up to the operation, I wasn’t even thinking about it. When the day came, I was fully convinced of success, but concurrently a little afraid, as I knew that I would be fully conscious for the entire duration. I knew that there existed a minimal degree of risk, but I deeply believed that everything would go perfectly. I felt a little trepidation upon signing the operation consent form, but I was greatly encouraged by the sight of patients who had been operated on leaving the theatre with smiles on their faces. Dr. Jankov explained the whole procedure to me, second by second, and I completely relaxed. After the operation, I experienced an unbelievable sensation. After so many years of struggling, I was finally able to make out the faces of my loved ones without the help of any glasses or lenses – my happiness knew no bounds. I felt as though something vital and wonderful had occurred in my life. The recovery period was very quick. On the second day, I went back to work and carried on with my new life. It was as though God had sent me a gift via Dr. Jankov and his team.

The crucial part was deciding to take the plunge and believing that within three days I could live a better, more fulfilling life. I concentrated on the way I would feel at the end – free, confident, fulfilled.

Today, I don’t think about it anymore and I’ve carried on with my duties and obligations. But I am a happier, more optimistic, more fulfilled individual. I remember the day of my operation as a positive turning point in my life. It was, for me, a brave step that allowed me to take on life’s challenges with added confidence. It is the reason that I continue to believe that many more beautiful, memorable moments lie in wait for me and I will treasure that day always.

Ever since I was little I’d had to wear glasses, and I’d been wearing contact lenses for the past ten years. After all this time, I decided to rid myself of the need for any visual aids and see properly without hassle :).

My ophthalmologist, a dear family friend, recommended Dr. Jankov to me, describing him as an expert in his field who could best help me with my problem.

When Dr. Jankov informed me that I was a candidate for LASIK surgery I was over the moon.

The time I spent with him and his staff filled me with confidence. On the day of the operation, I was completely calm and felt no fear at all.

When the procedure was over, the first thing I saw was Dr. Jankov’s smiling face which asked me: «Tamara, do you see me?». I was speechless as I looked around the room, taking in every minor detail – I could see! Even now I cannot accurately describe that sensation. All the post-operative controls went brilliantly leaving me extremely satisfied.

Thanks once again,

Million thanks to dear God and my dear doctor who managed to “persuade” me to undergo laser dioptre removal. All compliments to Dr. Sanja and Dr. Jankov. I would recommend to everybody not to be afraid because I believe they are in safe hands. I was not afraid because I fully trusted my dear doctor and all she said. I had photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) due to retinal thickness and everything went well. One month later I feel great.

Is there anything better than see the world again with one’s own eyes, without lens and glasses! I am overwhelmed with happiness!

P.S. Best regards from Čapljina, Bosnia & Herzegovina

I was healthy, I felt great… 🙂 just joking. Before going to see Dr. Jankov I had a refractive error of +2 and cylindrical vision of -3.75 (on both eyes). This caused me a great amount of trouble through life because I constantly had to think about and be wary of wearing glasses, i.e. contact lenses for the last two years – not to lie down with them in place, not to be able to swim in them, etc. Whenever I ordered lenses (for the past year I took monthly ones) 50% of the time they were somehow faulty and I would have to wait another month for new ones to be made etc…

I am writing this with perfect eyesight 🙂 and a smile on face; I can hardly wait for the next post-operative check-up when I’ll get to see the whole LaserFocus team again!At that time, Lazo, my friend, and colleague told me about Dr. Jankov, who had operated on him a year and a half previously with highly pleasing results! Taking his recommendation to heart I went to LaserFocus, where I was greatly impressed by the moment I stepped in through the door. The ambiance was great and everyone conducted themselves with commendable professionalism except… 🙂 I’m joking. I underwent a check-up and received much more information than I’d expected. Dr. Jankov treated me extremely well (unlike most other doctors who couldn’t care one way or the other and treat their patients as serial numbers…).

When I came for my operation I felt relaxed, as I trusted Dr. Mirko Jankov 100%. It almost felt as if I just had to stop by and run an erranc and then get on with the rest of the day. That’s pretty much the way it went as the operation lasted 15 minutes for both eyes.

All the while during the procedure, Dr. Jankov explained everything to me step by step so I felt completely secure as it was obvious that he knew what he was doing. As soon as the operation was over I was able to see much better which made me close my eyes. The following day my eyes itched a little but that couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. The day after everything was completely fine and my new life had begun!

I should mention that I made the decision to have LASIK surgery primarily because of my friend’s recommendation and positive experience, but the other crucial factor was Dr. Jankov and the thrill of meeting him. Now I am able to recommend him to you, and you will see what I mean when you meet him.

I first began having trouble with my eyesight around ten years ago when my farsightedness reached +7. My case was a special one as glasses were of no help, and my blurry vision was accompanied by migraine headaches and constant nausea.

Dr. Dijana, my ophthalmologist recommended Dr. Jankov to me, and assured me that he would be able to treat my condition; that’s the way it would turn out. Saying all of the right things, Dr. Jankov earned my total trust. He explained that LASIK surgery would be the only solution to my problem. I am habitually afraid of such procedures, but this time there was no hesitation on my part and I immediately agreed to undergo the operation.
I have to admit that there was a certain degree of fear, but that was more of the unknown and even a sense of positive excitement and anticipation that I couldn’t hide. When the operation was over, Dr. Jankov showed me his palm and I was able to make out the hitherto unnoticeable lines and nooks and crannies; I cannot possibly but that sense of delight and satisfaction into words.

I picked up a newspaper and started to read; the words were crystal clear, there was no blurriness and my happiness knew no limit. It has been 5 months since my operation and I continue to perform all my responsibilities and functions without any trouble at all; reading, watching tv, etc. What’s more, my aspirin and other headache medication have vanished from my purse.

I can only be eternally grateful to Dr. Jankov and the entire LaserFocus team, as they have afforded me a wonderful new life and, of course, I heartily recommend anyone with any eye trouble at all to go and see Dr. Jankov immediately, as he can truly make miracles happen.
