FANTASTIC experience! Trifocal lens replacement.
I am from the U.K and have just got back from Prague.
I had trifocal lens replacement .
Ivan was my coordiantor from the very onset of my enquiries /booking/and basically on hand for any questions i had along the way.
Arrived on the Monday afternoon.
I had already been sent a schedule beforehand.
Tuesday i had to go to have my full health check,bloods ,urine sample,height,weight and a full cardiology test.
From there it was onto the eye clinic for various indepth eye tests and to also to meet my surgeon,
Dr Petr Novak.
He did some more tests and we sat and discussed my lifestyle and my final expectations.
He showed me models of the 2 different lenses and explained about both,and which ones he/we would best suit my needs.
A nurse then gives you paperwork ,instructions of how to prepare the day before/on the day and post op.
You are also given Eye drops to apply am and pm and also 2 boxes of antibiotic drops with a detailed print out of how often they should be applied.
Wednesday i attended the place next door ,which is where the surgical suite is.
3 of us in recliner chairs,had several lots of numbing drops applied to the 1st eye over a course of time(you are also given a Diazepam to relax you).The little nurse(i forget her name,spoke excellent English and was lovely).
Then into a changing room ,all clothes off,including underwear,and into paper scubs(trouser-top).
Into the next room.Petr comes to see you,more drops.
The nurse then takes you through to the surgical suite.
They cover you with a paper sheet thing including your face with just the eye visible.
Dr Petr explains everything that you will see and what he will be doing next.
He was simply the BEST.
Has the most fantastic bedside manner and has such a calming voice.
I am a total wuss with stuff like this,especially the eyes!
But i PROMISE you there really is nothing to worry about!!!
You do not feel any pain,during or after the procedure!
The lens replacement took about 10 mins or so.* although you are probably at the clinic between 2 and a half/3 hrs in total.
You have a patch put over it,which you change at bedtime and can remove in the morning.As soon as i was out ,me and my hubby went off out sighseeing and for lunch and drinks.
Thursday is a day of rest.
Back Friday for second eye.
I wasnt scared at all and was very relaxed ,as i knew what to expect.
PAYMENTS.
You have to pay the Health clinic in advance.Ivan sends you the link.
Then when you go for the eye tests you pay for that there and then.
And finally on the day of surgery you pay for that.
My whole experience was EXCELLENT from start to finish.
Everyone spoke fantastic English and everyone was kind and helpful.
Both the eye test clinic and the surgical pace were spotlessly clean!
We had a great time in Pragu,its a beautiful city,and BEST of all ,i have come back with new eyes!!
I could see better from the minute i had them done and my sight got better as the days ent on.
They are still healing as its not even been a week9for my second eye anyway0.
BUT i dont need glasses for anything!! My font on fone was the largest it could be and i still needed glasses. Now its on the smallest!!!
