Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the initial examination take?
- The initial examination takes from 45 minutes to 3 hours. The length of the examination is somewhere between one to two hours in most patients. The real time mainly depends on two circumstances: 1) How fast your pupil dilates after you are given eye drops. Doctors need to dilate the pupils in order to evaluate the condition of your retina and the condition of the optic nerve. 2) How detailed your interview with the doctor will be. Part of the patients has almost no questions - either they already know everything from the Internet or from their friends, or they simply do not want to ask and leave the decision up to the doctor. Other patients demand (rightly) a step-by-step explanation of all details and circumstances of the surgery as well as detailed answers to numerous questions. It depends on you. You have the right of information and we are ready to talk with you about the surgery as long as you may wish.

Smart tips for your Prague stay
Save on flights by making a booking as soon as your medical appointment is confirmed. Nowadays all airlines give better prices for early bookings and it can be significant if you book your ticket a week or a month before you come to Prague. Praga Medica recommends you to plan the visit in a way that you can book your flight at least 2 weeks in advance.
Unless you are in a rush, plan your stay in Prague outside of main feasts and holidays like Christmas, Easter, 1st May, July-August. Prices of flights rise significantly for these dates and so accommodation in hotels.
Combine your main treatment with supplement treatments such as dentistry or dermatology treatments for a reduced price. Save money on minor medical and beauty procedures that you would undergo in your country anyway. Use your free time to visit a hairdresser, go to a massage or see a cosmetician. You will pay half price or less compared to what you would pay at home.
