Summer without glasses? The decision is made in spring

Spring is a time for planning. We book holidays, do more sport, spend time outdoors and naturally think about what we want to change this year. And it is precisely at this time that many people realise one thing – they no longer want another summer with prescription glasses or contact lenses.

However, if you want a summer without glasses, the decision is not made in June. It is made in spring.

Laser eye surgery is today one of the modern and safe outpatient procedures that make it possible to remove dioptres without the need for hospitalisation. The procedure itself takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes and the return to your normal routine is usually quick. However, this does not mean that it is a procedure to be planned a week before your holiday. Every eye needs time to stabilise and adapt to the new vision – and that is exactly why the right timing is key.

 

Why it pays to plan eye surgery in advance

Every patient at the iClinic clinic first undergoes a comprehensive initial examination, during which the cornea, dioptres and other biometric parameters of the eye are measured in detail. On the basis of these data, the suitability of the procedure and the choice of a specific method are determined – for example ReLEx SMILE 3D or Z-Lasik Premium.

“Patients often think that if they want to be without glasses in summer, it is enough to come a few weeks before their holiday. However, we achieve the best results when the eye has enough time to stabilise naturally,” explains MUDr. Ivo Ďurkovič. “The right timing is just as important as the technology of the procedure itself and the precision of the calculations.”

If you undergo the procedure in spring, you enter the summer season with already stabilised vision – without stress, without time pressure and without restrictions.

After 40 it is no longer just about dioptres: The solution is FEMTO Z-Prelex

For patients over 40, the situation changes. In addition to distance vision, near vision also begins to deteriorate – so-called presbyopia. A typical symptom is the need to hold your mobile phone or a book further away in order to focus.

In such cases, a suitable solution may be the FEMTO Z-Prelexprocedure, in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced with a modern intraocular lens. At iClinic, RayOne Galaxy lenses are used – a new generation of lenses designed to provide good-quality vision at several distances.

 

One of the most common concerns of patients with multifocal lenses is the halo effect – rings or glare around lights at night. The design of Galaxy lenses aims to keep the halo effect minimal and, in most cases, only temporary during the adaptation period. For the patient, this means greater comfort when driving at night and a more natural perception of light.

Precision is decisive: 6th-generation DUDO

In the FEMTO Z-Prelex procedure, the calculations are performed using the unique algorithm 6th-generation DudoSoftware, which was developed directly at iClinic. This algorithm works with an extended range of biometric data and significantly increases the precision of the results compared with universal or older calculation formulas.

For the patient, this means a sharper, more stable and more predictable result – with a minimal need for any further touch-up correction. This is because in intraocular lens exchange every detail matters, and the precision of the calculation is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of the final vision.

What does the patient really gain after eye surgery?

Whether it is laser removal of dioptres or lens exchange after the age of 40, the result is above all everyday comfort:

• Sport without worries: Running or swimming without fogged-up lenses and contact lenses falling out.
• Travel without restrictions: Freedom without cases, solutions and spare glasses in your suitcase.
• Efficient work: Working at a computer and reading without constantly switching glasses.
• A stylish summer: At last you can treat yourself to any sunglasses without a prescription.

Many patients say that only after the procedure did they realise how many small limitations they dealt with every day. Removing dioptres or presbyopia brings greater freedom, comfort and often long-term financial savings on optical aids.

A summer without dioptres is no coincidence

If you have been considering eye surgery for some time, spring is the time when planning makes the most sense. You will give yourself enough time for the initial examination, the procedure itself and a calm recovery period.
