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.
Presbyopia treatment
Who presbyopia treatment is for
Presbyopia is the age-related decline in the eye’s ability to focus up close. Glasses, contact lenses or refractive lens exchange can help.
-
Difficulty reading up close:
after 40–45 it becomes harder to see small print, and you want to hold your phone further away.
-
Lens replacement:
for those who want to depend less on glasses, whose eyes are suitable and who understand the possibilities and limitations of the surgery.
-
Cataract or hyperopia:
lens replacement is particularly worth discussing.
-
Monovision:
for some patients — laser correction: one eye for distance, the other for near.
Examination
and lens selection
- Distance and near vision, refraction, intraocular pressure, and the condition of the cornea and fundus.
- Biometry, corneal shape, the tear film and the condition of the macula, including with OCT.
- Your work, your usual distance to the monitor, reading and driving in the dark — this helps choose the optics of the lens.
- For which tasks glasses may still be needed.
- When planning monovision, a trial with contact lenses is carried out beforehand where possible.
Advantages of treatment at SHÉVCHYK Vision Space
Technology as the doctor’s tool
Modern equipment helps obtain precise data, plan treatment and monitor its results. But technology works together with the specialist’s clinical experience, not instead of it.
From diagnostics to recovery
Consultation, the necessary diagnostics, treatment and result control form a consistent patient pathway.
An honest conversation about treatment options
We explain not only the advantages of the recommended method, but also its limitations and possible alternatives.

Correction options
Glasses and contact lenses
If glasses or contact lenses provide comfortable vision, you can continue to use them. Being over 40 is not in itself an indication for surgery.
Lens replacement
Refractive lens exchange with selection of an intraocular lens — after discussing the risks and benefits.
Monovision
For some patients — laser correction: one eye is set for distance, the other for closer range.
No overnight stay
Lens replacement is performed on an outpatient basis. The treatment plan for both eyes and the interval between procedures are determined individually.
When correction
is postponed
When it is postponed
- Planned correction is postponed in case of active infection or inflammation of the eye, or an unstable condition of the ocular surface or general health.
- If the risks outweigh the expected benefit, the doctor recommends a different method of correction.
Limits on the choice
- Macular disease, significant optic nerve damage or an irregular cornea may limit the use of multifocal lenses. This does not always rule out surgery, but it may require different optics.
- In high myopia, the risk of retinal detachment is assessed especially carefully. Replacing a clear lens is an irreversible operation, so the decision is made after discussing the alternatives.

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
After surgery
- You use the prescribed drops and attend follow-up examinations.
- In the first days blurred vision, light sensitivity and moderate discomfort are possible.
- You can often return to light work within a few days, but exertion and driving should be agreed with your doctor.
- On the day of surgery you need to arrange for someone to accompany you, and you must not drive.
Adapting to the new optics
- It takes time to get used to the new optics, especially after a multifocal lens.
- Halos around light sources, glare and reduced contrast in twilight are possible. Some of these effects lessen with adaptation, but their complete disappearance is not guaranteed.
When to seek help immediately
- Severe pain or a sudden deterioration in vision is not normal adaptation and requires urgent examination.
Outcome
- Before correction, glasses are needed for reading and close work; you have to change the distance to the text or the lighting.
- Depending on the chosen lens and the condition of the eyes, the need for glasses at different distances can be reduced. Complete independence from glasses is not guaranteed.
- A monofocal lens focused for distance usually still leaves a need for reading glasses; extended depth of focus lenses mainly help at distance and intermediate range.
- The surgery changes the eye’s optical system, but does not restore the natural lens’s youthful ability to focus.

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.
