Procedure details

The lens implantation requires a two-step process. Firstly, the patient comes to Prague for a preoperative examination. As the lens is tailor-made for each patient, you must pay the deposit before the order takes place. This first visit only takes one day, and the patient can fly back home immediately after the examination.

Six weeks later, the lens is ready for implantation. If there is an eye treatment, a two days stay in Prague is required. Otherwise, four days in the case of both eyes. The procedure takes only about 10 minutes per eye.
