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.
