About us “Medi – Vega” Emil Balkansky
Emil Balkansky is a certified expert witness in Sofia Court House, and has European Commission Authentication Service Sertification. He has patented technology for custom-made artificial eye prosthetics, and is an expert in custom artificial eyes and other facial prosthetics (including, but not limited to ear, nose, and cheek).
The profession of ecto- prosthetics is inherited in our family. My father, Lyubomir Georgiev Balkansky, together with his colleague Lyubomir Tsvetanov, has practiced between the 1950s and 1980s in the Faculty of Medicine, Sofia. In the beginning of the 1970s I have graduated and specialized there. In 1978, I have been appointed at the laboratory for contact lenses, 22 Klokotnitsa St., Sofia, as an eye prosthetist. In the period between 1993 and 1995, the state-owned laboratory was sold and all specialists were fired.
In 1995, together with my wife Neshka Paunova Balkanska, we have registered the family company – ET “Medi – Vega” Emil Balkansky, with subject ecto- prosthetics and maintenance of medical instruments. My wife has worked together with me since 1986, up to the present moment. My daughter, Elena Emilova Balkanska, has graduated from high school this year as a straight-A student. She has worked with us since she was a little girl, and she has been learning the profession of ecto- prosthetics. Her dream is to specialize in plastic surgery, so that she could improve and be more precise in the craft.
