Frequently Asked Questions
- What is short-sightedness? What is myopia?
Short-sightedness is an English term for myopia. It is a minus refractive defect. Short-sightedness is corrected with diverging lenses - diopter glasses with a minus (-) mark. The eyeball is too long in the case of short-sightedness. Long-distance refracted rays meet in front of the retina. A short-sighted person cannot see well in the distance. A certain advantage is that they can see up close without glasses. Short-sightedness of up to cca -10 diopters can be corrected with laser surgery. ICL-type surgery is a better solution for more serious disorders. RLE and PRELEX-type surgery is sometimes a better solution for people over 50 years of age.

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.
