- What is ICL?
ICL - intraocular contact lens is an optical element similar to contact lens; it is permanently implanted behind the iris. It does not require any maintenance or exchange. ICL is a suitable solution for more serious disorders, both plus and minus ones. The advantage is to change the lens in case the disorder progresses. The intraocular lens has excellent optical characteristics. Quite painlessly, the intraocular contact lens is implanted in the operating theatre of the outpatient clinic and the surgery takes about 10 minutes. ICL is produced by STAAR, a Swiss company, and has been approved for use by the European Union and the USFDA. It is also referred to as Visian ICL in some countries.

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.
