She first came to the Institute perhaps more out of curiosity than real need. She had heard about the Switzerland Eye Research Institute and Dr Pinelli<\/b> during a gala evening that takes place every year in Palazzo Mantegazza.<\/p>\n
There were in fact no major concerns \u2013 we might even say none at all. Manuela could see perfectly <\/b>well at a distance and wasn’t too bad at close range either, even though she did sometimes need to move a text away from her eyes to bring the letters into sharper focus.<\/p>\n
After a few months, however, Manuela returned complaining that her incipient discomfort while reading<\/b> was getting worse, and although it was still tolerable, she was aware that in order to see a menu clearly or to answer a message on her cellphone, she would have to to put on a pair of reading glasses. And this she just could not accept.<\/p>\n
She therefore asked if she was eligible for the intervention <\/b>devised by Dr Pinelli and which she had in the meantime heard about from other acquaintances who had undergone the Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The eligibility consultation<\/b> in fact showed a simple hyperopic astigmatism, a mild defect which, given Manuela’s exceptional capacity of visual accommodation, had not even manifested as a visual impairment. But it was the presbyopia that bothered her, and she felt almost guilty at the thought of undergoing an operation to resolve a difficulty that couldn’t really be considered a problem.<\/p>\n
It was her husband who helped her through her quandary. On Valentine’s Day he gifted her the operation <\/b>along with a magnificent bunch of red roses. And so it was decided: Dr Pinelli operated on Manuela in June 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is now more than a year since I had my operation and I am even happier now than before. I never knew where I had put my glasses, and when I was out and about I was continuously putting them on and taking them off depending on what I had to look at. A real bind. I remember that day as a wonderful gift, and not only because I received an exceptional present from my husband. It was a beautiful day, and I always recall it with pleasure. I was not concerned, I felt relaxed in the hands of an expert such as Dr Pinelli and surrounded by such competent and reassuring people. The operation took only a few minutes and in no way was I in any discomfort. I had both eyes operated on at the same time and so my eyesight was excellent immediately. Once I got up from bed I could already see the clock and the cellphone very clearly, and the following day at the check-up I was extremely happy!”<\/b><\/p>\n
