Viherkiewicz Operation

The Wicherkiewicz operation is a surgical procedure developed by Polish ophthalmologist Wladyslaw Wicherekiewicz in 1906. The operation was named after the scientist who developed it.

Vladimir Vikherkevich was one of the first who began to study vision problems and perform surgical operations on the eyes. He was also one of the founders of the ophthalmological school in Poland.

Wiherkevich surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat cataracts, a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and cannot focus light properly on the retina. Cataracts can cause vision problems and must be treated.

The Vikherkevich procedure involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one. The artificial lens is made from a special material and has a shape that allows it to focus light correctly. After surgery, the patient can see better than before.

Vikherkevich's operation is one of the most common eye surgeries in the world. It is performed in many countries and is a safe and effective procedure. However, like any other surgery, it may have some risks such as infections, bleeding and other complications. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and discuss all possible risks with your doctor.
