What this collaboration means
The collaboration was initiated by Professor Oksana Vitovska. Professor Golnik will support the development of neuro-ophthalmology at the clinic and the training of our doctors to international standards. For patients, this means an even higher level of diagnosis and treatment of complex visual disorders, informed by the experience of leading US clinics.
