Dr. Stodůlka and his patient guests in a morning show on TV NOVA

Dr. Stodůlka and his patient, Hana Charvátová, were guests of a favorite morning show on TV NOVA (called Snídaně s Novou). Mrs. Charvátová was the first patient in the Czech Republic to be treated for blindness by implantation of BOSTON type atificial cornea. 

This year, Mrs. Charvátová and dr. Stodůlka celebrate a 5th anniversary since the successful surgery before which Hana Charvátová had been blind for 16 years. Today, she reads and manages to do everyday activities without wearing or needing glasses.
