Your doctor will assess your healing progress and ensure optimal recovery. Based on medical indications, a bilateral surgery (treatment for both eyes on the same day) may be considered in some cases.
Monofocal Lenses
Monofocal lenses are a straightforward and practical choice for correcting vision at a single distance, either near or far. They are ideal for everyday activities like driving or watching television. While you may still need glasses for reading, monofocal lenses offer a clear and reliable vision for most tasks.EDOF Vivity Lenses
Vivity lenses, equipped with Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) technology, provide smooth vision transitions across near, intermediate, and far distances. They reduce glare and halos, making them especially beneficial for night driving.Trifocal Lenses
Trifocal lenses represent the most advanced technology, delivering sharp vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far. They are ideal for active individuals who want to reduce their dependence on glasses for everyday activities such as reading, working on a computer, or driving. We offer a range of premium trifocal lenses, including the Clareon® PanOptix® Pro, the next generation of Alcon’s established PanOptix® trifocal platform. Featuring ENLIGHTEN® NXT Optical Technology, PanOptix® Pro is designed to make more efficient use of available light and reduce light scatter compared with the previous Clareon® PanOptix® lens.Learn more about the new Clareon® PanOptix® Pro and how its optical technology has been refined: Introducing Clareon® PanOptix® Pro: The Next Generation of Trifocal Lens Technology

Vision Correction abroad
with Praga Medica
Refractive lens exchange is the procedure that ends reading glasses for good, and it is also the one where the price gap between Prague and the UK is widest. The same Alcon and Zeiss lenses, implanted by the same class of surgeon, for up to 50% less than you would pay in London, Dublin or Amsterdam.
Your treatment price covers the lens exchange itself on both eyes, your chosen intraocular lenses, medication and eye drops, and the post-operative check-ups in Prague. The preoperative eye examination is quoted separately, as are accommodation and transfers, so you can see what each part of the treatment actually costs. Plan for around five days in Prague, Brno, Pilsen or Bratislava. Most patients have both eyes treated within a single visit rather than flying out twice.
You choose the lens, not the clinic's stock list. Monofocal for clean distance vision, EDOF Vivity for distance and intermediate, or trifocal Clareon PanOptix Pro if you want to be free of glasses at every distance. Toric versions are available if you have astigmatism, and the LenSx femtosecond laser can be added for laser-guided precision.
Request your free, no-obligation evaluation. Send us your prescription and you will receive a lens recommendation and a fixed written quote with every item listed separately, at no cost and with nothing to commit to.
