“From about the age of 15, I started to wear glasses because of my short-sightedness. At first, I could not see the black-board at school properly but gradually my need for glasses became permanent. I found wearing glasses limiting, especially when practicing sports because at higher speed I was not able to focus and for example aiming with precision for the slalom poles was a challenge” says Nikol for whom having to wear glasses or contact lenses during sports was extremely impractical.
“Sometimes my contact lens fell out and I would have to resolve the situation out there on the slopes or in the forest while cycling. Usually I would manage to get the lens back into place, but it was rather challenging” Contact lenses were not an ideal solution for surfing either. Nikol fell under the spell of surfing at one of the surf camps and it was there that she decided to go ahead with laser eye surgery.
“I surfed the internet and searched for clinics that could help me. I read excellent reviews on Refractive Centre Prague and I had this confirmed by several people that I knew. I decided to ring RCP and the super nice and professional approach was all I need to make the decision.”
“Most of all, I am so pleased every time I want to go and take out my lenses out of habit only to realise that I don`t have to. What more, waking up in the morning and seeing clearly straight away is a fantastic feeling after all these years.” Says Nikol who also said to us that should she have to make the decision again, she would have done so much earlier.
