10 Reasons to choose Eye Centre Prague

1. The patient is our partner

One of the core values of Eye Centre Prague is that we are partners with our patients! We want our patients to feel not only comfortable but also to treat each one as if they were our parents or friends. We are always here for the patient and want them to have support from us, both professionally and personally. At OCP, you will always find the figurative signs saying 'KNOCK!'

 2. We believe in what we do

We stand by the quality of our work and believe in what we do. The proof is that we recommend our clinic to others, and examinations and surgeries are also performed by our own doctors, relatives, friends, and acquaintances.

For instance, the father of our Chief Doctor of the Clinic Zugar, the grandmother of our Director Janek, and other relatives of our team have undergone cataract surgery with us.

At the same time, our doctors Dana Fillová, MD, Lucie Frantlová, MD, and Aneta Novotná, MD, also underwent laser refractive surgery.

3. We hold a number of firsts

We are constantly striving to develop, improve, and, above all, bring our patients and Czech ophthalmology the latest innovations, procedures, and technologies that maximize the results of surgeries and examinations. As a result, we hold a number of firsts.
