Cataract surgery (both eyes) in Pentagram Eye Hospital and Medical Center
About the clinic
Cataract surgery for both eyes is available at Pentagram Eye Hospital and Medical Center in Sofia, Bulgaria. This facility is known for its Innovation and Good Practices Award and uses the VICTUS femtosecond laser platform to improve surgical precision. The clinic holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, reflecting a commitment to international quality standards in ophthalmic care.
Laser-Assisted Surgical Methods
The hospital uses phacoemulsification combined with advanced laser technology. Surgeons perform the procedure through a minimal incision that requires no stitches. The VICTUS femtosecond laser platform, the only one of its kind in Eastern Europe, creates precise corneal incisions and handles lens fragmentation. This method uses ultrasound to break up the clouded lens before replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Specialized Medical Team
Dr. Vesselin Daskalov serves as the Medical Director and Chief Surgeon with over 35 years of experience in ophthalmology. The team includes Dr. Doli Efremova, who specializes exclusively in cataract surgery to provide focused expertise for every patient. Other specialists, such as Dr. Marieta Pencheva and Dr. Risto Trajkovski, focus on anterior segment surgery and eye microsurgery. This group of experts manages all stages of the procedure, from initial biometry to final lens implantation.
Recovery and Patient Experience
The surgery takes place under local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. It is a same-day procedure, allowing patients to return home shortly after the operation. Doctors perform a full eye examination and biometry before the surgery to calculate the correct power for the IOL. Vision typically begins to improve within the first few days following the treatment. Patients receive specific eye drops and care instructions to help the healing process at home. The clinic provides full diagnostic support to monitor progress throughout the recovery period.
