Dr. Olga Denysiuk is an eye surgeon, working to save the lives of soldiers and civilians in Ukraine after it was invaded more than two years ago by Russia

Dr. Olga Denysiuk, as shown is this undated handout image, is one of two Ukrainian eye surgeons coming to Canada this fall to learn advanced medical techniques at the University of Calgary.

“You can hide the scars under clothing. You can have a prosthesis for your leg or your arm. But the face stays there, and feel very insecure about it.” As a result, the University of Calgary is teaming up with the Canadian Ophthalmological Society Foundation’s Eyes on Ukraine initiative. They then return to Ukraine for four months to apply the new techniques under the direction of the University of Calgary’s Dr. Karim Punja.“I am hoping to learn a different approach and see how people work and see how the system works,” said Denysiuk.
