Until recently, glasses were an important part of her image. Due to her work and lifestyle, she decided to get rid of them once and for all.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI was short-sighted with -5 dioptres, and without glasses, I&nbsp;wouldn\u2019t even have recognised my own mother. That was obviously quite distressing. I&nbsp;never minded wearing glasses \u2013 on the contrary, I&nbsp;always liked them and considered them both a&nbsp;fashion accessory and a&nbsp;relief for my eyes after wearing contact lenses a&nbsp;lot. I&nbsp;used contacts for work and sports, but after a&nbsp;while, my eyes would often become red and tired, so I&nbsp;needed a&nbsp;break now and then.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Karol\u00edna got the impulse and courage to go ahead with the surgery from her mother and now shares her feelings with us.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOf course, some unpleasant scenarios crossed my mind. These were my eyes we were talking about, so the thought of surgery wasn\u2019t exactly something I&nbsp;was looking forward to \u2013 but I&nbsp;trusted Dr. Nov\u00e1k completely. My family ophthalmologist recommended RCP, and I&nbsp;also knew that it was the only clinic in the Czech Republic with the iDESIGN iLASIK laser.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAfter the surgery, I&nbsp;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&nbsp;enjoyed each new day more and more as everything settled, and I&nbsp;was no longer so sensitive to light.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What are Karol\u00edna\u2019s thoughts on the benefits of surgery in retrospect?<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe freedom is exhilarating. At first, I&nbsp;just walked around town, intentionally looking at buildings and my surroundings \u2013 and I&nbsp;couldn\u2019t believe how well I&nbsp;could see. For a&nbsp;while after the surgery, I&nbsp;still felt like I&nbsp;had my contact lenses in and needed to take them out before going to sleep. But then it suddenly hit me \u2013 I&nbsp;no longer had them, because I&nbsp;no longer needed them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Karol\u00edna would like to tell everyone that although the idea of surgery may seem scary, there is absolutely nothing to fear nowadays \u2013 and if you choose the right clinic, it can be a&nbsp;truly life-changing experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_duir4hxrld\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_h055rjekm\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_embed_wrap\">\n<iframe title=\"Laserov\u00e1 operace o\u010d\u00ed Karol\u00edna Koke\u0161ov\u00e1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9UTI7A5pm2U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p>Once you start watching the video, you may turn on the subtitles by hitting the C key on your keyboard or in YouTube settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_ewhp80bfhs\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_ffts30xfs9\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div id=\"cmsmasters_button_yna5fyw9yr\" class=\"button_wrap\"><a href=\"\/en\/references\/\" class=\"cmsmasters_button\"><span>Return to references<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAfter the surgery, I&nbsp;almost wept with happiness.
