CALGARY — Some scars can’t be hidden.

It’s why Dr. Olga Denysiuk is coming to Canada from the Ukraine war zone to learn more about saving and rebuilding smashed and damaged eyes.

“I’m doing everything I can to save their eyesight, to save their face,” Denysiuk said in a recent interview from her home in Kyiv.

“You can hide the scars under clothing. You can have a prosthesis for your leg or your arm. But the face stays there, and (patients) feel very insecure about it.”
