Dávid Skokan

Slovak ice hockey forward

Dávid Skokan
Yesterday I decided to have eye surgery at iClinic Bratislava with doctor Ivo Ďurkovič. First of all, I must highlight the approach of the staff and the kindness of everyone. Secondly, the work of doctor Ivo – the surgery was painless, so anyone who is afraid DOES NOT HAVE TO BE. As a professional hockey player and former Slovak national team player, I got great references on iClinic from my teammates, and since as an athlete I have to be 100% healthy, I decided to have the surgery. I know doctor Ivo Ďurkovič from hockey – he is a big fan and a great person – so thank you very much for everything. Thanks also to my teammate Dávid Buc, who recommended it to me.
Once again, THANK YOU.

football back, ŠK Slovan (Slovakia)

Jurij Medveděv
One day an eye laser surgery, the next day again on a football lawn. This is exactly how looked like the two consecutive days in Jurij´s life. One day he visited our eye clinic and our Dr. Ďurkovič helped him to get rid of an eye refractive problem with the newest painless eye laser surgery method ReLEx SMILE. Due to the fact, that this method is without the need for convalescence, he could play a football already the day after his visit of our clinic. Jurij, thank you for your trust and we wish you a lot of sport successes!

Michal Zátorský

12-time Slovak boxing champion

Michal Zátorský
So that Michal could pursue his goal with determination, he decided to get rid of his short-sightedness. At iClinic he therefore underwent painless laser eye surgery with doctor MUDr. Ďurkovič using the ReLEx SMILE 3D method – without burning the cornea with an excimer laser and with only a microscopic entry into the cornea. Michal is a person who never gives up and always goes after his goal, regardless of what others think. His goal is to be the best. This is how Michal Zátorský briefly described himself – multiple Slovak boxing champion, former national team member, winner of the World Cup in Lithuania, bronze medallist at the European Championships and also a participant in the 2015 European Games in Baku.
