Corrects all refractive errors, fast recoveryThe most versatile laser technique
VERSATILITATE
Corrects myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Femto LASIK can correct up to -10 diopters in myopia, with or without astigmatism, and up to +5 diopters in hyperopia, with or without astigmatism.
TEHNOLOGIE ZEISS
The 2-laser procedure.
Femto LASIK is performed with two types of lasers: femtosecond and excimer. The ZEISS Visumax 800 & MEL90 platform is the world leader in this field.
RAPIDITATE
Improved vision immediately after surgery.
The procedure takes 15-20 minutes for both eyes, of which laser action is in the order of seconds. The next day the patient can resume most activities.
Femto LASIK in Brief
During the procedure, the surgeon uses a femtosecond laser for 7 seconds to precisely cut an extremely thin flap from the cornea, lifting it like a book page. Using the second excimer laser, the surgeon can then reshape the exposed corneal bed for 5-20 seconds, depending on the preoperative prescription. The laser flattens the cornea (for myopia), gives it a convergent shape (for hyperopia), or a more symmetrical shape (for astigmatism). At the end of the procedure, the flap is returned to its original position, ensuring fast and comfortable healing.
Recommendations and Contraindications
ELIGIBILITY
Who Can Have Femto LASIK
People aged 18-40 with stable diopters for at least 1 year.
Myopia up to -10 diopters, hyperopia up to +5 diopters.
Astigmatism in combination with myopia or hyperopia.
Cornea with sufficient thickness for laser treatment.
This is a complete ophthalmological consultation to evaluate eye health and determine the exact optical correction for best vision. Pupil dilation drops are necessary for accurate diopter measurement and complete examination. This includes detailed explanation of the upcoming procedure as well as your case particularities.
You will get answers to all your questions, so you know what to expect both during the procedure and post-operatively.
The complete pre-operative investigation and measurement package is performed in the clinic with state-of-the-art equipment. These are necessary for precise determination of technical parameters for the lasers, all based on your eye anatomy.
For convenience, you can do all investigations immediately after consultation, just allow approximately 2 hours for both.
On surgery day, you will undergo a complex, personalized, highly precise, minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the optical system of both eyes. The procedure is painless, using local anesthesia with drops.
Your eyelids will be held with a device so you do not need to worry about blinking. The doctor will tell you at each step what comes next. All you have to do is follow some light markers with your gaze, comfortably positioned on an automatic bed.
The actual procedure with the first laser takes 7 seconds for each eye, and with the second laser, between 5-20 seconds for each eye.
You will come for check-ups the next day, at one week, and then as indicated by the doctor: one month, 3 months, 6 months and one year, to monitor the healing and adaptation process.

The whole process, from the investigation to the diopter reduction operation, went smoothly. The operation itself was very fast and successful. 24 hours after surgery I can say that I can see very well without glasses.

I have been looking for the right clinic for a long time and I am very satisfied with my choice. As an operation, the procedure lasts a maximum of 25 minutes (from the time you leave the waiting room until you return) and the actual intervention itself lasts a few minutes. There is an adaptation period but it is normal and for me a week after the procedure the distance vision is perfect, the near vision becomes better every day. As a technology, after the checks, SMILE was recommended to me, and I can say that I recommend both the procedure and the Clario clinic with great pleasure! The doctor is a special person! 🙌

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the CLARIO team, coordinated by Dr Monica Apostolescu, for their professionalism and excellence throughout the FEMTO LASIK intervention, performed on 05.11.2025. The procedure was flawless without any pain or discomfort. Just a few hours after the intervention I could read perfectly, and the clarity of vision is remarkable. The next day I already performed the first postoperative check — I personally drove to the clinic without the slightest difficulty. I particularly appreciate the way all staff have given me clear and detailed explanations of each stage of the intervention, presenting with transparency both the benefits and any limitations of it. I highly recommend CLARIO Clinic and its exceptional team for their competence, kindness and attention to each patient. Thank you for an exemplary medical experience!

I had Presbyond laser surgery a week ago on both eyes and I'm in the adjustment period, but I can say that right after I left the operating room I was already seeing considerably better than before. After going through all the pre-operative investigations, carried out very thoroughly and with the latest technology, I was convinced that Ms. Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the Clario team are leaders in their field and that I will be in good hands. I thank them and congratulate them from the bottom of my heart for their professionalism and the warmth with which they greet their patients!

I had a great experience. Everything is superlative here, all the staff is very kind and super trained and competent . I went to a consultation to reduce my prescription and I have no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Monica Apostolescu and Dr. Dana Popescu, who took care to explain all possible options and offer me the best solution. I am also a doctor, but I admit that I had some fear , but after the detailed investigations and explanations, I decided that I would come with full confidence for the diopter reduction intervention. I'll be back with an update after the operation. I’m looking forward to it.

I was looking for a clinic where I could have surgery to reduce my prescription and I chose Clario because I was intrigued by the 5-star rating the clinic has, with (now) almost 2,000 reviews. It was really a very good choice. I was operated on by Dr Dana Popescu 6 months ago. I felt treated with great care and attention not only by the doctor immediately after the surgery, as I also had a more difficult healing period, but also by the other employees of the clinic every time I arrived there 🙏🏻
Is it said that there is no happiness? Yes, there is. It was given to me by Dr. Silvia Chiotoroiu. At Clario's. I am writing this message without glasses. After 15 years of glasses.
Thank you.

I am very satisfied with all employees at this clinic. A team of A's. Everything is superlative: extraordinary doctors, cleanliness, very good facilities, quality services. The result of the operation was WOW. I got rid of my glasses in just a few minutes with no pain. Congratulations on everything you do. I recommend this clinic, especially Dr Monica Apostolescu.

I GOT RID OF THE GLASSES!!! On April 2, 2025 I did something I have wanted for a long time: I gave up my glasses! And not just symbolically, but really – through a laser intervention, using the Presbyond procedure, at the Clario.ro ophthalmological clinic. It was a decision I made extremely easily after seeing the advertisement made by Pavel Bartos. Thank you, Pavel, for giving me the courage and momentum I needed! The story began with an appointment for a consultation. From the very first contact with the Clario team, I felt a real concern for the patient, a deep respect for my time and emotions. The preliminary tests were many, but each step was explained clearly, calmly and professionally. I never felt like I was "just another patient" – on the contrary, I felt safe, listened to and patiently treated. On the day of surgery, emotions existed, of course, but were quickly dissipated by the calm and empathetic atmosphere in the clinic. Mrs. dr. Monica Apostolescu was wonderful! He impressed me with the calm and safety with which he presented all the steps of the procedure, but especially with the warm attention and care he had for me as a person, not just as a patient. He's the kind of doctor who makes you feel like you're in good hands from the first minute. The operation took very little time, I felt no pain and my recovery was quick. Immediately after the surgery I was already seeing extraordinarily well – a sensation hard to describe in words for someone who had worn glasses for years. It's like discovering the world again, in its fine details. I read without glasses, drive without glasses, enjoy life without glasses. If you have been thinking about such an intervention for some time, I tell you from the heart: do not delay. It's more
simple than you think, faster than it looks and the results are amazing. It gets rid of not only the glasses, but also a lot of small everyday frustrations. Thank you very much to the team of Clario and dr. Monica Apostolescu for professionalism, patience and involvement. Thank you too, Pavel Bartos, for the inspiration!

The procedure was extremely fast, only on the day of the intervention I had a slight blurred vision. The discomfort was minimal (just a small sting for two days), and then everything completely disappeared – no pain, no problem, just perfect vision! Dr Monica Apostolescu is an extraordinary doctor and a wonderful man. I am glad that I live in a time when such technologies exist. I wholeheartedly recommend!
Presbyond is a miraculous medical intervention! The professionalism, punctuality and empathy of Doctor Monica Apostolescu and her team made me feel safe throughout the interaction. My conclusion:... Presbyond is a miraculous medical intervention! The professionalism, punctuality and empathy of Doctor Monica Apostolescu and her team made me feel safe throughout the interaction. My conclusion: everything, from consultations to surgery, was at the highest level. If you need and are eligible, do not hesitate. I highly recommend!

I do not speak Romianian but the staff was very comfortable in English and was very friendly. I went to verify if my eyes could be lasered to avoid wearing glasses/contacts and chose ReLEx SMILE ZEISS after getting all a very clear explanation of the advantages/disadvantages. After the operation that was painless, I could directly see. After two hours of tearing I had no further discomfort (no redness,dryness, tearing). The next day I had perfect vision, which was confirmed by the check-up.
A super positive point : prices are exactly as described on their website, no deviation.
Overall : super professional and friendly staff that speaks English,clean and professional environment and transparent prices

Hello! Today I went to the annual ophthalmological examination. About two years have passed since the surgery to reduce the diopters and everything is perfect. All I can say is that I am deeply grateful to Dr Apostolescu Monica and her team because thanks to them I can see perfectly again today.
So, for those who read the reviews, I highly recommend you to use the services offered by Clario Clinic.

I hesitated for a long time before taking the step towards the diopter reduction surgery, because I always lived in fear of the result. I was thinking about complications, the possibility of not seeing the same or simply not knowing what to expect. I read dozens of opinions, I went to several consultations, but I still couldn't completely overcome my fear. Everything changed when I met Dr Monica Apostolescu. From the first meeting, it gave me a sense of confidence and professionalism. He explained to me step by step what the RELEX smile procedure involves – one of the most modern, safe and minimally invasive methods of correcting myopia, with a quick and painless recovery. The way he spoke to me, calmly and clearly, helped me enormously to make the final decision. The operation went flawlessly. It was quick, painless, and just as I was told, the recovery period was surprisingly easy. Just a few days after the intervention, I was already feeling a huge difference in my daily life. Now, 3 months after the surgery, I can say with full conviction that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I see perfectly, I got used to the new reality extremely quickly, and frankly, I would repeat this experience ten times without any hesitation. I sincerely thank Dr. Monica Apostolescu, an exceptional, empathetic, attentive and extremely well prepared doctor, who not only restored my sight, but also restored my confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend the RELEX smile procedure and Dr. Monica Apostolescu to all those who are afraid to take this step – it is well worth it

I am very pleased with my experience in the clinic regarding refractive surgery. Following the investigations, the FemtoLasik technique was recommended to me, Dr. Apostolescu is very warm and empathetic, she answered all my questions and everything went very well. Recovery was really easy, sorry I didn't make this change earlier

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this clinic! I came for a Presbyond intervention, with high expectations in terms of professionalism and technology — and that's exactly what I found: state-of-the-art equipment, exceptional doctors and a very well-trained team. But what impressed me most was the human side: the warmth, kindness and patience of the entire team. I really felt safe and in the care of people who put their heart and soul into what I do. Every interaction was filled with respect, empathy and attention. After the surgery, I even received a photo that moved me deeply — a simple gesture, but which says so much about the care with which he treats his patients. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic and I already tell all my acquaintances in Brasov who wear glasses that it is worth taking the step. Thank you once again to everyone who accompanied me in this transformative experience!

The Clario Clinic is an example of excellence in ophthalmology. I have been coming here periodically for several years for checks and each time I have been greeted by an exceptionally well organized, professional and attentive team. I recently had the Presbyond surgery, which went flawlessly. Everything was clearly explained and the atmosphere on the day of the intervention made me feel safe and relaxed. I received a new, natural vision — I no longer wear glasses, and the colors around me seem more
even more beautiful vines. I recommend with all confidence… and with my own eyes! I thank the Clario team for the professionalism, care and results that are really visible.

I recommend with love and confidence a very good team with many professionals involved and very dedicated to the activities and with great attention to the needs of the patients. In March, I had myopia and dioptre reduction surgery with SMILE PRO with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, a doctor and an extraordinary person, I have no words to thank both her and the other CLARIO teams who were attentive and clear throughout the procedures from A to Z. At first I can say that I had great emotions, fear and anxiety, but when I arrived at Mrs. Dr. Monica Apostolescu and she explained the whole procedure to me step by step, it was as if all my fears fled and I gained courage. I can say that it was a very easy operation, very quickly I felt absolutely nothing and I recovered quickly already after the operation I could write a message on the phone when I got home I could see what I could read on TV before even with glasses passing through my hands to Dr. Monica and the whole CLARIO team, I feel as if I gave birth a second time. Thank you very much to Mrs. Monica and the entire Clario team and I warmly recommend you, I have no words to express the happiness I feel ❤️❤️
I'm sorry that I didn't do this intervention earlier, everything was very easy and in a few hours after the intervention I could see without glasses:) The whole Clario team showed professionalism and empathy!

I had the opportunity to experience the biggest change in my life at Clario, under the guidance of Dr. Monica Apostolescu. After 16 years of wearing glasses, I decided to take the step towards Femto Lasik surgery. It was one of the best decisions I've made so far. Dr. Monica Apostolescu impressed me from the first consultation - her professionalism, attention to detail and empathy were outstanding. He patiently explained each step of the procedure to me and this helped me feel safe and well informed. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and the recovery was easier than I could have imagined. Now, more than 3 months after the operation, I can see perfectly without glasses, and I can say that I have completely forgotten the feeling of wearing them. I was given back the freedom and visual clarity I hadn't had in years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the Clario team for an exceptional experience! I recommend with all confidence!

While the prospect was a bit nerve inducing, the operation itself went without a hitch.
3 Months later, I can see better than normal (1.5 score for far, 1.2 for close). I've returned for a week now to the minimum size font on my kindle.
The staff is kind, and Dr. Apostolescu was great, supportive and was speaking to me what she was doing at each step of the operation and surgery itself. This helped out a lot with my nerves at the time and from my experience the recovery process, which was printed on a what-to-expect and what drops to use etc paper was accurate within the days.
Two and a half years after the PRK operation in both eyes to reduce the diopters, the vision is perfect and I have not encountered any complications. The staff is also very kind and competent in everything they do.

Almost immediately after the operation. It's a really strange feeling not to have to put on the glasses and see (honestly, I'm still a little afraid that it's not just a dream). I think another problem I usually have is money. But when someone walks directly on your eyes with a laser you realize that all the costs are justified and that it is actually not expensive.

I had LASIK surgery at Clario to eliminate diopters and the experience was very pleasant and unexpectedly efficient. With them, I experienced the professionalism of the pre-operative analyzes and the sincerity regarding the results of these analyzes that did not show a very high compatibility with any method of dioptre reduction. However, with the enormous help of Mrs. Doctor Monica Apostolescu and Mr. Engineer, I managed to get rid of glasses with a very large dioptre and a relatively thin cornea for the current dioptres. In the course of 2 days, I managed to regain my vision without pain or other intrusive post-operative effects, and the operation lasted an hour and was more than manageable with the indications of the Doctor and the other members of the office. I am grateful to the team for their support and effort in helping me regain my sight and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of giving up glasses!

I came with my mother (Neacsu E.) to the clinic, because she developed a secondary cataract in both eyes, this was resolved by laser capsulotomy.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Mrs. Doctor Apostolescu Monica for the fast and high-quality work, for the conscientiousness he showed, putting not only his hands but also his soul.
Mrs. Apostolescu, you are a doctor and a wonderful person. I sincerely wish you to continue to successfully save patients and find a way out of any situation!
I warmly recommend this clinic to everyone, where the whole team is wonderful, the cleanliness is impeccable, the equipment is modern and efficient.

I decided to take the step towards dioptre reduction surgery with Presbyond technology because I wanted to get rid of the dependence on glasses, especially in daily activities, but also in my free time. I am a stomatology doctor and I need a clear and precise vision, and the glasses were starting to become a burden. I had no fears or reservations before the intervention; seeing what are the recommendations for this clinic, I went with all confidence. From the first visit to the clinic, everything went extremely efficiently and quickly; I was quickly taken care of by the ladies assistants for the rigorous measurements and later during the actual consultations I had detailed explanations and all the necessary information. I was impressed by the professionalism and empathy of Dr. Monica Apostolescu, and this helped me overcome any anxiety. The surgery itself was quicker than I expected and completely painless. The anesthesia is local, topical / with drops, completely painless and without discomfort; the whole procedure is without any pain. The staff was extremely attentive to my comfort throughout the procedure. Everything took place in a very modern and friendly environment. After the operation, on the same day, my sight was already much improved, without needing glasses, and the next day, practically 24 hours after the intervention, I resumed my activity, being a dentist. Now, after the operation, I enjoy clear vision without glasses. I can see perfectly up close and the difference is incredible. It is liberating to be able to live without glasses and enjoy every detail of everyday life with new clarity. I wholeheartedly recommend this procedure to everyone who wants to improve their life through such an intervention, and I thank the team at Clinica Clario for the outstanding experience!

I wanted to get rid of the glasses that I had been wearing since the 6th grade and without which I couldn't do anything anymore, so I decided to document myself about surgery to reduce diopters, and after a long time of searching, I came across Clario where I also saw other people's reviews and decided to pay a visit and see how it is. From the very first day, I was greeted by people who explained the whole procedure to me in the simplest way and convinced me that it was the right choice.
Already after 2 days of surgery, I can see clearly at a distance, I can drive, and I can see the world with different eyes, although I still have moments of blurry vision, but it's been a while, and I'm convinced that it will get better and better.
Thank you to the Clario team and Dr. Monica Apostolescu for everything 🤗

Dr. Monica Apostolescu was by far the most personable and welcoming of the Doctors I had spoken to, so it made Clario a very easy choice for the procedure.
The clinic was the most modern and cleanest from those I had seen, and the procedure itself was VERY easy with no discomfort at all. I would highly recommend Dr. Apostolescu and her team for anyone looking to get Lasik in Bucharest (or those who sometimes go back there from London!).

A spontaneous decision you make when you feel that you are fed up with something. For me, the only thing I was tired of was seeing the world blurry, seeing everything in a fog, and not being able, not even for a second, to part with my glasses for 12 years. At first, I felt shivers of excitement, but I was not afraid. A man who feels that a change is needed in his life is strengthened by God, and when you are in the hands of a professional doctor, hope and confidence increase. After many hours of documentation and tireless searching, I discovered Clario. I enthusiastically read various reviews about how other people's lives changed, and I was enveloped by one dream: to be able to see clearly, to experience the same miraculous change. I knew that there could be risks and that it is not an easy operation, even if some might speculate that. With a deep desire to get rid of the scary dioptres (-5.50 in both eyes) I made an appointment for a post-operative check-up with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, a doctor of millions. The check went great. I was treated with special care and felt great. Every detail of the operation was explained to me patiently and carefully, and the lady doctor made me feel at home. The next day the surgery was to take place, a day I will never forget and will forever be etched in my mind. A day that would change me profoundly, one where my dreams would come true. I was greeted again with the same warmth and gentleness, and my emotions began to subside. I was more ready than ever to see myself differently, to see the world differently. I was picked up by the lady doctor and led into the operating room, a cool room, but how did I know that I would walk out on my feet, seeing people from a distance without glasses for the first time. It wasn't hard or embarrassing. I saw vibrant colors, talked to the lady doctor, and beyond the doors I could feel my mother's emotions strongly. The surgery didn't take long and everything went perfectly. I discovered how beautiful it is to see everything clearly and differently. My world changed radically from the moment I got up from the table and started looking around. Finally, after 12 years of not being able to part with my glasses and after the difficult times of enduring various labels and prejudices, I got to see with my own eyes how beautiful the world is, how wonderful life is and how good it is to perceive everything normally. I confidently and warmly recommend Clario and Mrs. Monica Apostolescu, the only person who managed to change my life forever. Now, a few days after surgery, I feel great. I have no problems and everything is exactly like in my dreams.

On October 16, 2023, I had cataract surgery. It was a unique, exceptional experience, it lasted very little and I didn't feel any pain. The next day, after the intervention, when the bandage was taken off, I can say that I felt like I was born again (for 40 years I wore glasses with very high diopters +8.50 and now I can see without glasses). I owe this miracle to Dr. Raluca Iancu, an exceptional doctor, a wonderful man, an ANGEL on earth. There are no words to thank him for everything he has done for me. And, I also want to thank the Clario team for the professionalism they have shown. You are amazing! Congratulations!
I had myopia surgery at Dr. Monica Apostolescu, I can say that everything went perfectly from the professionalism of the doctor to the pleasant environment and the extremely kind staff. I recommend!

I had an operation to reduce dioptres and I can say that I had professional services. Everything went as expected from the beginning when I received all the Explanations about the operation. Dr. Monica Apostolescu is a special person and was always available for any uncertainty of mine. It's been 8 months since the operation and I can say that I can see very well and I don't need glasses anymore. Good luck in the future

I have opted for a PRK eye surgery, which in my opinion is the best long term choice if you have myopia or astigmatism, as you will no longer have to invest in new eyeglasses or contact lenses.
The surgery itself was very quick and painless, and I was surprised by the fact that I was able to see better immediately after the intervention.
5/5 for the Clario team and Dr. Monica Apostolescu.

Very pleasant experience, from the preoperative consultation, to the operation itself and to the postoperative care. I had surgery for myopia (-2) with FemtoLASIK. The operation went without complications, Dr. Apostolescu and the whole team constantly explaining all the stages to me. I noticed the improvement in vision immediately after the operation and I didn't even feel the need for recovery, maybe due to the relatively small diopters and the type of operation (which was also recommended to me by the medical team, I initially focused on ReLEx Smile). Kindness, professionalism, transparency. I recommend with love.
Evaluation Consultation and Pre-operative Investigations.
The complete evaluation for vision correction is performed by doctors from the refractive surgery team and will be analyzed by the surgeon you choose for the procedure.
Recommendation: for a quick process, book an evaluation appointment as soon as possible.
See Availability
Femto LASIK Surgery
The procedure is performed using state-of-the-art ZEISS technology. If the evaluation was performed by a different doctor than the one you choose for surgery, you will have a pre-operative check-up with the surgeon.
It is recommended that diopters be stable for at least 1 year before surgery, especially for myopia, where diopters generally increase gradually until age 18. Young patients should wait until their diopters stop changing.
The absence of any progressive eye disease is essential for eligibility for eye surgery. Corneal thickness is very important, as vision correction is done by reshaping (thinning) the tissue of this lens.
Progressive eye diseases such as: keratoconus, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, severe dry eye, cataract, eye inflammations prevent you from having laser vision correction surgery. There are other procedures for such situations.
Degenerative or autoimmune conditions such as: diabetes, connective tissue diseases, Sjogren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV infection affect post-operative healing and are contraindications for laser surgery.
ATTENTION: Soft contact lens wear must be stopped at least one week before consultation and at least two weeks before surgery. For orthokeratology hard lenses, the term is at least one month.
Laser reshaping requires detailed and very precise measurements of all eye structures.
Investigations include:
Corneal tomography
Specular microscopy
Corneal topography
Pachymetry
Aberrometry
Tear film break-up time measurement - non-invasive
Retinal and optic nerve tomography
Laser vision correction is very effective and highly predictable. Almost all patients who can be safely treated using conventional laser techniques are satisfied with the surgery results.
Laser vision correction surgeries are considered among the safest in surgery overall. Millions of such procedures are performed worldwide annually and their history spans over 40 years. Meanwhile, technology has advanced enormously, making them safer and faster.
However, you should be aware that there may be risks and possible side effects associated with any medical procedure. Although extremely rare, possible complications that may occur after surgery include: chronic dry eye, visual halos and haze, undercorrection, overcorrection, flap-related complications, retinal detachment, infection.
The vast majority of complications are treatable and usually resolve within the first months after surgery.
Laser vision correction is permanent and very stable over time. There is no risk of previous diopters returning.
Keep in mind that the evolution of eye structures over time may bring slight changes in diopters, independent of the surgery. This is the case with the crystalline lens, which loses elasticity and starts adding near vision diopters after 40-45 years, and after 60 slowly develops cataract.
For high diopter correction, especially farsightedness, there is a risk of regression through eye remodeling during healing.
You will see immediately after getting up from the operating bed, but vision will be "as through water". Most patients can write messages on their phone immediately. For a few hours you may experience stinging, tearing and bright light sensitivity.
In most cases recovery is very easy: immediately after surgery vision is improved, and the next day the patient can largely resume activities.
Healing occurs at each person pace, and may take from a few days to a few weeks as the visual system recalibrates and the brain gradually adapts to it.
Post-operative treatment in the first two weeks consists of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops.
Fear of surgery is understandable, but for laser procedures interventions are extremely fast and involve no discomfort. Although performed in an operating room with all protocols, they can hardly be called "surgical operations" in the sense known to everyone. Patients almost without exception say they did not realize when it was over and regret not having the procedure sooner.
