Cataract Surgery
in Prague

Restore clear vision by replacing your clouded lens with a premium IOL, with no waiting lists and savings of up to 50% compared to treatment at home.

What Is a Cataract?

Restore Your Natural Clarity

A cataract occurs when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred or foggy vision. It's one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, and one of the most treatable.

Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure takes 15–30 minutes under local anaesthesia and patients typically notice significant improvement within days.

Struggling to see clearly at night, especially while driving. Halos around lights.

Light Sensitivity

Bright sunlight or indoor lights feel uncomfortably glaring.

Reading Difficulty

Text becomes increasingly hard to read, even with glasses.

Double Vision

Seeing double in one eye, an early indicator of lens opacity.

Colour Fading

Colours lose vibrancy, whites appear yellowish, blues are harder to distinguish.

The Procedure

Small Incision

A tiny incision (around 2mm) is made at the edge of the cornea to access the lens.

Phacoemulsification

Ultrasound energy breaks up the cloudy lens into tiny pieces, which are then gently removed.

IOL Implantation

Your chosen premium artificial lens is folded and inserted through the same tiny incision. It unfolds into position.
