“Undergoing laser surgery at the Refractive Center Prague has been one of the best decisions of my life. I had -3 diopters in both eyes before the surgery and had been wearing contact lenses for many years, constantly having trouble with them due to dry eyes and irritation. So I decided to get examined at the RCP, as prices were much more affordable than in Switzerland.
As it turned out, I was an excellent candidate for laser surgery, so I decided to go for it. The team at the Refractive Center Prague was very friendly, and Dr. Novak was extremely competent and confidence-inspiring. I felt well informed and taken care of.
The surgery itself was incredibly short and completely painless. The evening and night after the surgery were very unpleasant and painful, just as predicted by the doctor. But when I woke up the next morning, I opened my eyes – and for the first time in 25 years, I could SEE! I actually started crying because the experience was so overwhelming.
The pain was already almost gone by then, and the post-surgery exam showed that I now had what they call “eagle-eye” – perfect vision. Although the doctor cautioned that I might have problems with dry eyes for months to come, these were actually gone after about 14 days, and I haven’t had any trouble since (it has been 6 months now).
The surgery was a huge success, surpassing both my own and the doctor’s expectations, and I am truly grateful for the increased quality of life it has granted me.”
