\u201cI had 20\/20 vision until about 12 years ago, when I started working with computers. Then my eyesight quickly deteriorated \u2013 at first, I only needed glasses for driving, but eventually, I had to wear them all the time.<\/p>\n

“Permanently” was a problem, as I had a knack for losing, stepping on, or breaking my glasses. If I was reading, I\u2019d put them on my head, and when I returned them to my nose, they were either tangled in my hair or covered with fingerprints. Contact lenses weren\u2019t the solution either \u2013 they made my eyes dry, itchy, and eventually prone to infections.<\/p>\n

I am the director of two companies: Sparkys s.r.o., an expanding chain of toy and gift shops (which will have 15 locations by the end of 2005), and Piccollo s.r.o., the exclusive distributor of Chicco, Columbia Sportswear, and Loap.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not in the office, you\u2019ll find me on the tennis court or out for a run with my dog. Glasses slowed me down \u2013 I was always looking for them, cleaning them, or replacing them. I used to wear contacts for tennis and can\u2019t count the number of times I nearly crashed my car while trying to put them in on the way to a match.<\/p>\n

Having LASIK surgery at the Refractive Center Prague has revolutionized my life. It\u2019s extraordinary that I can now see the clock across the room \u2013 even if it just confirms what I previously suspected: I\u2019m late!<\/p>\n

For the first few weeks, I kept thinking I still had my contact lenses in and tried to take them out. The operation was painless and efficient, and I truly appreciated the time and care the doctors gave in explaining the procedure and potential risks. I feel like a born again \u2013 with an evangelical need to tell the world about the benefits of this miraculous surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
