For years, Larisa had been living with glaucoma-related vision problems that affected the way she experienced everyday life. At 38, the patient from Latvia was dealing with blurred vision and near-sightedness, making clear and comfortable vision increasingly difficult.
Seeking a lasting solution, Larisa began exploring treatment options that could improve her eyesight and help her regain greater confidence in her daily activities.
After researching her options, Larisa decided to seek medical care in Vietnam, where she could access specialised ophthalmic expertise and advanced treatment facilities.
She connected with MediGence through its website on November 12, 2025, looking for guidance on glaucoma treatment and lens implantation. Her case was personally coordinated by Dr. Vishwas Kaushik, who helped her navigate the medical travel process, understand her treatment options, and connect with the appropriate specialist and hospital in Vietnam.
Following a medical evaluation, the diagnosis remained consistent with glaucoma. Her concerns about blurred vision and near-sightedness were carefully considered while planning the next steps. With the support of Dr. Vishwas Kaushik and the MediGence team, Larisa felt more confident about proceeding with her treatment at Vinmec in Da Nang.
Larisa travelled to Da Nang, Vietnam, for her treatment at Vinmec, where she was treated by Dr. Nguyen Thai Hung.
After a thorough assessment, the medical team recommended glaucoma surgery along with lens implantation as part of her treatment plan. The approach was aimed at addressing her eye condition while also improving her visual function.
With professional guidance and specialised ophthalmic care, Larisa proceeded with the recommended treatment.
Larisa's treatment journey represented an important step toward her primary goal: better vision.
Receiving treatment away from home can feel challenging, particularly when it involves an important sense such as eyesight. However, access to specialist care and structured medical coordination helped Larisa move forward with greater reassurance.
Her experience highlights the importance of seeking timely evaluation when persistent vision changes occur, particularly in conditions such as glaucoma where appropriate management can play an important role in protecting vision.
Larisa's journey reflects how access to specialised medical care can help patients pursue treatment beyond their home country when appropriate.
From Latvia to Da Nang, her journey was driven by a simple but meaningful goal to improve her vision and move forward with greater confidence.
With glaucoma treatment and lens implantation performed under specialist care at Vinmec, Larisa took an important step toward achieving the clearer vision she had been hoping for.
Her story serves as a reminder that when vision problems begin affecting everyday life, seeking expert medical advice and understanding available treatment options can be the first step toward a better quality of life.
