A few hours before visiting the medical center in Prague, I was on a plane travelling from Greece to Prague. I never thought at that time that I would not need my glasses anymore in a few days. Of course, prior to the LASIK surgery on my eyes, I was afraid, especially as the operation was to be carried out in a foreign country, too. The visit to the Refractive Center Prague and the first contact with the staff was really a pleasant surprise. In the conversation I had with Dr. Petr Novák I lost my initial concerns. He explained in a very detailed and scientific way, the procedure and its risks and what has to be taken care of in the postoperative period. Due to the excellent scientific training of the employees and their yearlong experience I have never doubted the success of this operation. I now have a new life – a life without glasses. For that I am very grateful to the Refractive center in Prague and particularly to Dr. Petr Novák.
