I had Lens replacement 3 weeks ago with Dr Novak and his team !! There’s nothing left to say that hasn’t already been said by others who have also visited the clinic. Everything and Everyone treated me with 100% care and respect at all times. I’m still learning how to use my new eyes as it’s been a bit of a struggle with night time and long vision but I’m getting there ! No problems with my reading though. The very next day I was able to see to read and I am extremely happy that I chose Dr Novak and his Clinic. Right in the heart of Prague which meant for my 5 day stay there was always something to do too. A big THANKS to the team. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I can totally recommend this clinic. The whole team was very professional, meticulous and clear in explaining all the different steps of the iLasik procedure, including aftercare. I regained 100% vision from the very day after. Dr Novak seemed very thorough and my ophthalmologist in Germany confirmed to me that they have done an excellent job. Heartfelt thanks!! x Marco

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Refractive Center Prague. The positive experience began with communication with Babora, who has excellent English language skills. The communication, scheduling, and instructions were exceptional. The Center required a comprehensive medical exam, which involved urine and blood tests, an EKG, and a physical exam. This was their standard procedure to ensure patients are appropriate candidates for eye surgery. I saw this as a positive. The eye clinics I met with in the U.S. did not require this and seemed more concerned with scheduling as many surgery patients as possible. I elected to have the exam performed in Prague, as the cost was much more reasonable than it would have been in the U.S. After the medical exam and it was confirmed that I was an appropriate candidate for eye surgery, I went to Refractive Center Prague where I underwent a comprehensive examination of my eyes. Most of the exam was with Dr. Novak, my surgeon. The exam was thorough, which helped ease my anxiety about eye surgery. Dr. Novak asked me detailed questions about my work, hobbies, activities, and lifestyle. He took meticulous notes. He spent much time educating me about the different lens options. I appreciated the instruction and felt well-informed as to the best lens for my eyes. I cannot put into words how reassuring it was to spend so much time pre-surgery with the actual surgeon who would be operating on my eyes. Dr. Novak is a great listener and he seems to take much pride in the work he does. He has been doing eye surgery for 30 years. The next day, I arrived at the eye center and was assisted through the preparation for surgery by their staff. Everyone was kind and helpful and they all had excellent English speaking skills. I met with Dr. Novak briefly before surgery. He told me what to expect, not to be nervous, told me I was in great hands, and he said that he would be talking to me throughout the surgery. The surgery went well, and Dr. Novak talked to me throughout the surgery, which helped me relax. That night I went back to our hotel with a patch over one eye and lay down for a few hours. I was amazed that I had no eye pain and just minimal discomfort. My wife and I went out for a light dinner near our hotel (sporting an eye patch). I went to sleep, woke up the next morning, and took off the eye patch as instructed. My operated eye already had better vision than my unoperated eye. Again, no eye pain and minimal discomfort. My wife and I spent the rest of the day as normal exploring the beautiful city of Prague. The following day, I met with Dr. Novak one more time. He examined my operated eye and said everything looked great. He asked many more questions about my vision and took more notes. That afternoon he performed surgery on my second eye. Everything went well and I continued the same routine—rest for a few hours, light dinner near hotel, sleep, remove eye patch the next morning, and explore Prague like a normal day. The only difference was that my corrected vision began to improve at a more rapid pace. Dr. Novak explained that this would happen, as my brain could no longer fall back on an unoperated eye. It has been a little over a week since my surgery. The day after my surgery, my vision was very good, and I no longer needed glasses for any distance. Every day my vision improves slightly more and everything I see becomes a little crisper and more vibrant. I can now read a menu in a dark restaurant, read everything on my phone, read small print, and read street signs from a distance. I could not possibly be more pleased with the results of my surgery, Refractive Center Prague, Dr. Novak, and their entire staff. I do not think I could have received anything close to the quality of care I received from Refractive Center Prague anywhere in the U.S. Further, the cost of the surgery was significantly less than it would have been at home. Incidentally, we will be returning next year to Prague so my wife can have the same surgery on her eyes.

Four of us have just returned to the UK from the Refractive Center in Prague where three of us had Lens Replacement Surgery and one had iDesign Lasik. I can honestly say it has been a life changing experience for all of us and can certainly recommend the procedure and the Refractive Center Prague to anyone looking for eye corrective surgery. From the initial contact with Barbora via email through to all of the staff they have been fantastic at every step of the way. Dr Novák is incredible in what he does, from the consultation, the operations and the checkups afterwards. We were all a little apprehensive prior to our surgery - we needn’t have been as we were all cared for by all of the staff and the Ops were pain free both during and after. I am now free from Contact lenses having worn them for the last 32 years. It’s a fabulous feeling waking up and being able to see clearly. The other three individuals are all now glasses free as well - all for less than a third of the UK price. Thank you to the entire clinic team.

Had lens replacement 6 months ago as my reading vision was declining rapidly. Having lens replacement ( johnson and johnson lenses) was the best decision ever. Short and straight forward procedure, no pain. Petr spoke very good English, and explained everything prior. Have since had my eye test at my own optitian and all is good. Bright light at night takes a bit of getting used to. But it was well worth it. And a fraction of UK prices. Hospital is central Prague, which was easy for transport. Would highly recommend.
