MVDr. Veronika Heglasová

MVDr. Veronika Heglasová works in ophthalmology and internal medicine. What drew her to them above all was the chance to connect detailed diagnostics with a view of the patient as a whole. For her, veterinary medicine is not only about diagnosis and treatment but above all about trust and a sensitive approach: she enjoys looking for connections, solving complex cases and seeing the concrete result of her work.

She provides comprehensive diagnostics of eye diseases, including examination of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, measurement of intraocular pressure, examination of diseases of the lacrimal apparatus, the fluorescein test and ocular ultrasound. The most common warning signs of eye disease are redness, tearing or discharge, squinting, pain, clouding of the eye, changes in the pupil, swelling or deteriorating vision.

What fulfils her most in a vet's work is the chance to help animals and at the same time be a support to their owners — she approaches every patient with sensitivity and respect, perceives its needs and understands the worries and emotions of its owner. Her greatest joy is when she can help an animal feel better and give its owner a sense of certainty and trust.
