Diagnostics before decisions
An examination should give the doctor the information needed to make a diagnosis and choose further treatment. So the number of tests in itself is not a measure of the quality of diagnostics.
Who cataract treatment is for
Cataract is clouding of the natural lens: vision becomes hazy, colours fade and light causes glare. Cataract progresses, and the lens cannot be made clear again.
-
Deteriorating vision:
cataract makes it hard to read, work, drive or recognise faces.
-
Glasses no longer help:
glasses no longer give sufficient improvement in vision.
-
Raised pressure:
the lens causes raised intraocular pressure — it is removed earlier.
-
Retinal treatment:
the clouding interferes with examination and treatment of the retina.
-
No waiting for it to “ripen”:
there is no need to wait — the decision depends on the person’s needs and the condition of the eye.
Examination
before surgery
- Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and the condition of the cornea, lens and fundus.
- Biometry — measurement of the eye’s parameters to calculate the power of the artificial lens (a mandatory step).
- Retinal OCT — in particular if macular disease is suspected or when choosing a lens to correct presbyopia.
- Corneal topography or tomography — especially when planning a toric lens or after laser correction.
- Ultrasound examination — if a dense cataract prevents examination of the fundus.
- At what distances you want to see without glasses.
- Additional tests and consultations are ordered according to your health and the type of anaesthesia.
- Tell your doctor about all medications and allergic reactions; do not stop any medication on your own.

How treatment works
Lens replacement
The clouded lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). This is a safe operation; modern IOLs stay clear in the eye for life.
Choosing a lens
Depending on the model, the lens allows you to see far, or both far and near, without glasses after surgery.
No hospital stay
After the examination you go home the same day with recommendations and a follow-up schedule. You will need someone to accompany you; you must not drive.
First changes in vision
Often noticeable within the first few days. Restrictions after surgery are minimal.
When surgery
is postponed
When it is postponed
- Planned surgery is postponed in case of active infection of the eye or tear drainage system, uncontrolled inflammation or an unstable general condition. The doctor first determines what needs to be treated or stabilised.
- If the clouding does not yet interfere with daily life and there are no other indications, monitoring can continue.
Not a contraindication
- Diabetes, glaucoma or older age do not in themselves rule out surgery, but they affect preparation and prognosis.

PatientLower eyelid blepharoplasty
Today I saw my cosmetologist and realised I don't regret any of the things I've had done. I don't think I'm losing my identity, and I'm definitely not obsessively chasing perfection. My best decision was the blepharoplasty (removing the fat bags under my eyes).

Recovery and outcome
Day of surgery
- After the examination, the patient goes home the same day with recommendations and a follow-up schedule.
- On the day of the procedure you need someone to accompany you home; you must not drive yourself.
The first weeks
- In the first days a moderate gritty sensation, watering and blurred vision are possible. Vision usually improves gradually, and healing takes several weeks.
- It is important to use the drops as prescribed, attend check-ups and not rub the eye.
- You can read, use your phone and watch TV as you feel able. Returning to heavy exertion, swimming and driving should be agreed with your doctor.
- Until the eye has healed, protect it from dirt, injury and soapy water.
When to seek help immediately
- Severe pain, increasing redness, a sudden drop in vision, new flashes or a “curtain” in front of the eye require immediate examination.
Outcome
- Before surgery, images look as if seen through fog, colours are less vivid, and headlights and lamps cause unpleasant glare.
- Removing the clouded lens lets you see more clearly. Final visual acuity also depends on the condition of the cornea, retina and optic nerve.
- The need for glasses depends on the chosen lens: with a standard monofocal lens set for distance, reading glasses are usually needed.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I start if I don’t know which service I need?
Start with a consultation. The ophthalmologist will assess your complaints and the condition of your eyes and decide whether further diagnostics are needed. If your question concerns aesthetic medicine, the administrator will help you book the right specialist.
Do I need full diagnostics before every consultation?
No. The scope of the examination is determined by the doctor based on your complaints and the results of previous visits.
Can I have a consultation and diagnostics in one place?
Yes. Consultation, diagnostics and treatment take place within one centre, often in a single visit.
Is laser vision correction suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability is determined by diagnostics: corneal thickness, vision stability and concomitant conditions.
Can I come for a preventive eye check-up if nothing bothers me?
Yes, and it is worth doing regularly — some eye diseases have no symptoms in the early stages.
How do I book an appointment?
Fill in the form on the website or call the administrator — they will choose a doctor and a convenient time for you.
