Procedure details
We use high-quality Visian ICL lenses and EVO Viva ICL lenses from STAAR company to ensure optimal vision correction and patient satisfaction. ICL is produced by STAAR, a Swiss company, and has been approved for use by the European Union and the US FDA. It is also referred to as Visian ICL in some countries. Visian ICL is positioned behind the iris and in front of your natural lens. The Visian ICL is made from Collamer, a 100% biocompatible material created and used exclusively by STAAR Surgical.

Benefits of ICL Phakic Lenses
- Reversible procedure — the lens can be removed if necessary
- No risk of dry eye syndrome
- Built-in UV protection to help prevent certain eye diseases
- Rapid, significant improvement in vision immediately after surgery.
Who is a good candidate?
ICL phakic lenses are an excellent choice for patients who:- Have high spectacle prescriptions
- Are unsuitable for laser vision correction (e.g., thin cornea)
- Seek a reversible option with outstanding visual quality
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach that maintains their natural lens.
Phakic ICL itinerary:
You will need two visits to complete the ICL lens procedure:1. First Visit – Pre-operative Examination:
- Comprehensive eye exam and measurements to order your personalized lenses
- Examination and consultation completed within a single day
- During this visit, the doctor will decide whether both eyes can be operated on the same day or on two consecutive days
- Arrival recommended the day before the surgery
- Based on the results of your initial examination, you can choose to have both eyes operated on the same day or one eye operated on each day
Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery following your RLE procedure. You will receive detailed post-op instructions, including eye drop usage and activity restrictions. Mild discomfort, sensitivity to light, or temporary blurriness are normal and should improve within days. Our team remains available to assist you throughout your healing journey, ensuring the best possible outcome for your vision.Are phakic lenses your best fit – or is laser correction an option too?
Phakic lens implantation is an excellent choice for patients with high prescriptions or thinner corneas, offering precise and long-term correction without altering the natural lens. However, for those with stable prescriptions and suitable corneal thickness, Laser Eye Surgery may be a faster and cheaper solution with rapid recovery and excellent outcomes. It’s worth exploring both options with your eye specialist to find the best fit for your eyes.Independent Review Sites

Vision Correction abroad
with Praga Medica
ICL is the procedure for people laser clinics turn away. If your prescription is too high, your cornea too thin, or you simply want a correction that can be reversed, an implantable contact lens does what laser cannot. In Prague it costs up to 50% less than the same STAAR lens implanted in the UK, Ireland or Germany.
Your treatment price covers the implantation of EVO Visian or Visian ICL lenses, the lenses themselves, medication and eye drops, and the post-operative check-ups. The preoperative eye examination with the corneal and anterior chamber measurements is quoted separately, as are accommodation and transfers. The treatment runs across two short visits, a one-day examination and a four-day surgical visit, in Prague, Brno, Pilsen or Bratislava.
The lenses are made by STAAR in Switzerland from Collamer, a biocompatible material the eye tolerates permanently. They sit in front of your natural lens, which stays untouched, so nothing about your eye is removed or reshaped and the implant can be taken out again if your vision changes later in life.
Request your free, no-obligation evaluation. Send us your prescription and our surgeons will tell you whether ICL or laser correction is the better fit for your eye, at no cost and with nothing to commit to.
