Eye Care & Laser Vision
See clearly again - laser vision correction and eye care that frees you from glasses and contacts for good.
Refractive surgery permanently reshapes the cornea so that light focuses correctly without glasses or contact lenses - using advanced femtosecond lasers to create a precise, flap-free correction in minutes, with most patients seeing clearly by the next day. Modern laser vision correction is quick, gentle, and remarkably predictable, with techniques tailored to your prescription, corneal thickness, and lifestyle.
At heal&there, laser vision care is built around the two leading techniques - SMILE, the newest minimally invasive keyhole laser procedure suited to active lifestyles, and Femto LASIK, the all-laser gold standard for broader prescriptions. Both are delivered in Prague by an English-speaking ophthalmology team, with a full pre-operative assessment to confirm you are a good candidate before any treatment is scheduled.



Programmes & treatments
Eye Surgery Entry Examination
The detailed eye examination that every patient needs before laser vision correction or lens surgery. Over about two hours the clinic measures your prescription, the shape and thickness of your cornea, your tear film and the health of the whole eye, and the surgeon decides which method - if any - is safe and suitable for you. Dilating drops are used, so you cannot drive afterwards. The result is valid for 2 months, so it is usually done the day before the procedure.
Femto LASIK (both eyes)
Femto-LASIK replaces the traditional blade step of LASIK surgery with a femtosecond laser, creating a thin corneal flap with more precision and consistency before a second laser reshapes the cornea to correct the vision error. It's one of the most widely performed and longest-tracked vision correction procedures globally, with a strong long-term safety record. The procedure itself takes around 15 minutes per eye under local anaesthetic drops; most patients notice a dramatic improvement in vision within hours and are back to normal activities within a few days, though a short pre-op assessment (corneal mapping, thickness and dryness checks) is required to confirm suitability. For patients aged roughly 18-40. Popular with patients who are tired of glasses or contact lenses and want a single, well-established procedure with fast visual recovery.
Best for · short/long-sightedness · astigmatism · freedom from glasses & contacts
Includes · pre-op assessment (corneal mapping, thickness, dryness checks) · femto-laser procedure · post-op review
ReLEx SMILE Laser Eye Surgery (both eyes)
ReLEx SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a more recent, flapless technique: a femtosecond laser creates a small lens-shaped piece of corneal tissue beneath the surface, which is then removed through a tiny incision just a few millimetres wide - no flap is cut, unlike LASIK. Because the corneal surface stays more intact, many patients experience less dry-eye and less post-operative discomfort, which is why it's often recommended for patients who are more prone to dry eyes or who play contact sports. Suitability depends on your prescription and corneal thickness, confirmed during a pre-op assessment; recovery is typically just as fast as LASIK, with clear vision within a day or two.
Best for · dry-eye-prone patients · contact-sport players · minimally invasive correction
Includes · pre-op assessment · flapless femto-laser procedure · post-op review
PRK Plus Surface Laser (both eyes)
Surface laser vision correction for patients whose corneas are too thin, or whose eyes are otherwise not suited to Femto LASIK or ReLEx SMILE. Instead of cutting a flap, the laser reshapes the cornea directly on its surface, which keeps the cornea strong. The trade-off is a slower, more uncomfortable recovery: the surface heals over several days under a protective contact lens, and vision sharpens gradually over the following weeks.
Presbyond Laser for Reading Vision (both eyes)
A laser treatment for presbyopia - the age-related loss of near vision that makes most people over 40 need reading glasses. PRESBYOND (laser blended vision) adjusts each eye slightly differently so the brain blends the two images into clear vision at near, intermediate and far distances, reducing or removing the need for reading glasses without replacing the natural lens. Suitable for roughly ages 40-60.
Refractive Lens Exchange - Premium Lens (both eyes)
For patients aged roughly 40-60 who want to be free of glasses, the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens through a micro-incision - the same well-established operation as cataract surgery. This option uses a premium monofocal-type lens (aspheric, toric for astigmatism, or bifocal) chosen at the entry examination. Because the natural lens is removed, a cataract can never develop later.
Refractive Lens Exchange - Trifocal Lens (both eyes)
Lens replacement with a multifocal or trifocal lens that gives clear vision at near, intermediate and far distances - the most complete way to stop needing glasses after 40, including for reading. The natural lens is replaced through a micro-incision, as in cataract surgery, and because it is removed a cataract can never develop later. Suitable for roughly ages 40-60.
Refractive Lens Exchange - Trifocal Toric Lens (both eyes)
The same lens replacement with a multifocal or trifocal lens, but using a toric lens that also corrects astigmatism - for clear vision at all distances in patients whose cornea is unevenly curved. The natural lens is replaced through a micro-incision, as in cataract surgery, so a cataract can never develop later.
Cataract Surgery - Self-pay (both eyes, standard lens)
Removal of the clouded natural lens (cataract) and replacement with a clear artificial lens through a micro-incision, restoring sharp vision - one of the most common and safest operations in medicine. This price uses a standard spherical lens; premium lenses that also reduce or remove the need for glasses are available as upgrades. For patients paying privately who don't want to wait for treatment at home.
