Traveling for Definitive Eye Surgery Plan in Germany for Ms. Maxsuda

Ms. Maxsuda, a patient from Uzbekistan, has lived with glaucoma for more than 20 years. Over time, it caused severe vision loss. Her right eye has had almost no useful vision for roughly two decades. The left eye became the one she depended on, preserved after glaucoma surgery.

The Trauma That Took Her Remaining Vision

In June 2025, Maxsuda suffered a serious injury to her left eye after being hit by a ball. She was taken to an urgent clinic where doctors repaired a ruptured eyeball and stopped the bleeding. But afterward, her vision remained dramatically reduced. She could only make out shapes and barely count fingers.

Later in 2025, she underwent a vitrectomy for a vitreous hemorrhage, yet her vision stayed blurry. During post-traumatic diagnostics, doctors also noted that the artificial lens that had been implanted before the trauma could no longer be found in the eye, and the eyeball remained deformed.

A Clear Surgical Plan in Frankfurt

Wanting a definitive path forward, Maxsuda traveled to Germany in October 2025 for diagnostic examination and surgical planning in Frankfurt with Prof. Dr. med. Frank Koch. Airomedical supported her throughout the process, helping her find a trusted vitreoretinal specialist and obtain a medical visa to Germany.

During the evaluation, a pronounced iris tear was identified in the left eye, alongside aphakia and the complex post-traumatic changes.

After examining the patient at Eye Centre Frankfurt am Main, Prof. Koch advised attempting an Artisan lens implant, selecting retroiridal or preiridal placement based on iris stability and intraoperative anatomical findings. That is the clear expert opinion the patient sought.

Bringing Hope Back Home

The patient returned with something she had been missing since the injury. It is a structured, expert surgical plan and a realistic next step built around the unique risks and needs of her only seeing eye.
