“The results speak for themselves – my vision is now crystal clear, and I no longer need glasses or contacts. I’d absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery, even if you’re traveling from outside the Czech Republic. You’ll be in great hands and treated with kindness and respect.”

“I had an amazing experience at the Refractive Center Prague for my LASIK surgery. From start to finish, everything about the experience was superb. The professionalism and care of the staff were top notch, and Dr. Novak is truly an expert in his field. The clinic was clean and welcoming, and the procedure itself was over incredibly quickly, with very minimal discomfort.
After more than 15 years of wearing contacts and glasses, it is truly surreal to experience life without needing them, and I have Dr. Novak and his team to thank for this. I would absolutely recommend the Refractive Center Prague to anyone considering LASIK.”

“I can only recommend this clinic from A to Z. The entire team is very friendly, polite, and – most importantly – they really listen to you. The surgery itself was completely painless, and the follow-up care was excellent. I would recommend this clinic 100% to anyone considering this treatment.”
Robert Zwinz
“A friend of mine who had undergone intraocular lens replacement surgery at RCP inspired me to make the same decision. Just like my friend, I only have positive things to say about both the treatment and the results. The whole process, from the initial consultation, pre-surgery examination, treatment, and aftercare, was highly professional. I can wholeheartedly recommend undergoing this procedure at RCP, and I look forward to a glasses-free future.”

“After the surgery, I almost wept with happiness. It was an amazing feeling to wake up and see perfectly straight away, after struggling with my vision my entire life. The morning after the procedure, this feeling was even stronger, as my vision had already improved so much. I enjoyed each new day more and more as everything settled, and I was no longer so sensitive to light.”
Ed Keating
“I could not possibly be more pleased with the results of my surgery, the care I received at Refractive Center Prague, Dr. Novak, and the entire staff. I don’t think I could have received anything close to this level of care anywhere in the UK.”
Nikoleta Jíchová
“The biggest change for me? The mornings. Simply because there’s one less thing to deal with in my routine. I also notice a big difference in my sport. Before the surgery, whenever I looked at one point for too long while wearing contact lenses, I had to blink several times afterwards. That no longer bothers me.”
David Thorogood
“My prescription was very complex and I had to spend my life carrying around various pairs of glasses for different circumstances and contact lenses and prescription sun-glasses. The post-surgery results were an instantaneous improvement in my vision. I really can’t recommend Peter Novak and his team highly enough for what they have done for me, which is nothing less than life changing. I just wish I had found them earlier in life... but better late than never!”
Serena Goodwin
“Great experience! The office was professional, easy to get to, the procedure was simple, the doctor was great, and it was easy to communicate (I speak no Czech). The nurses were pleasant, straightforward. The expense was less than half of what it costed in San Francisco. I found it beyond magical to wake up in Prague without needing any help seeing. I wake up every day thankful that I was able to have this surgery done at this clinic.”
Nicholas Pedley
“I travelled from the UK to Prague for lens replacement surgery with Dr. Novak in late August 2019. I have worn glasses or contact lenses for the last 35 years. I was very short-sighted with a prescription of -6.5, had astigmatism and the beginnings of cataracts in both eyes. The results of the surgery are simply staggering. I now have sharp, bright vision (I hadn’t even noticed that my vision was getting dull) as well as losing the astigmatism and cataracts. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of the clinic.”
