LASIK is a two stage surgical procedure. At Oftum, we’re committed to doing this with the all-laser method so that your procedure and post-operative period is as safe and comfortable as possible.
Creation of a FemtoLasik 6D flap - the “bladeless” method:
In order to expose the cornea, a flap of 0.1mm thickness is created using a special Femtosecond Laser. OFTUM is proud to note that we adopted this “bladeless” technology 10 years ago, abandoning the old bladed method. We took this decision as part of our overall commitment to patient safety and consequently we are among the most experienced Femtosecond Surgeons in the world.
The Femtosecond Laser is attached and fixed by a slight vacuum to your cornea, and after a few seconds, at a precisely calculated depth into your cornea, it places micro laser pulses which separate the collagen layers from each other - thereby creating a corneal lamella - the flap. The Femtosecond Laser operates in complete darkness and you do not feel or see anything. You’ll hear a countdown of the time remaining until this stage is complete and after approximately 20 seconds, the flap is complete. After the vacuum is released, the flap is flipped sideways and the Excimer Laser reshapes your exposed cornea. The flap is then replaced and due to the extremely fine edges created by the Femtosecond Laser it is healed back to its original location within 1-2 hours. Due to this procedure and its extremely quick post-operative healing, your vision is immediately focused and there is no post-operative pain.
Immediately after your procedure - RELAX! Ideally just rest, sleep, and maintain your schedule of eye drops. If you’re going out, use the high quality branded sunglasses we’ve given you. We will see you on the following day for the removal of your therapeutic contact lens and to check on the results of your surgery. After that, just maintain your schedule of eye drops for the following month, and enjoy your new view of the world!
After that, though, we’re still with you - you’ll be in direct contact with your surgeon via email at any time after your procedure, and of course Kristýna, our optometrist, will be available to help you with any other follow-up advice that you might need, as will our friendly English-speaking team in Prague. And of course, you’re welcome to drop into our Prague clinic again for a free check-up any time you’re back in our beautiful city.
6 months ago, the right choice was made: my vision was 100% corrected from minus 10. The Oftum team is incredible, friendly and super attentive. They care about you from the first minute you contact them. Dr. Tomas Juhas and dr. Obama Macejova are professionals. Thank you for changing my view on this beautiful life :)
I am a patient from Singapore, and I recently did a laser vision correction of ReLEx SMILE with Oftum in Prague. The wonderful MUDr. Tomas Juhas led the procedure and assisted by the lovely MUDr. Ivana Macejova. The team carried out an impressively careful, efficient and professional approach throughout the surgery process. Oftum goes beyond an excellent service with a personal touch, I feel almost at home! Special mention to Renata for making sure my time there is comfortable, and the homemade cheesecake is one of the best one I’ve tried! It has been five days since I had my eyes done, I feel absolutely amazing seeing with my fresh eyes all crisp and clear! There were no complications and healing was very quick for me. ReLEx SMILE is the best decision I’ve made, and I highly recommend coming to Oftum to get your eyes done. Thank you Oftu...
I would like to thank everyone at Oftum in Prague. On the 15th December I had my vision corrected from minus 8 diopters, through the RelEx SMILE surgery. All staff were friendly, attentive, caring and explained everything to me from my consultation, through to leaving after the post-operative check-up (everything had gone well of course). The premises is clean, cosy and certainly well-catered; some lovely coffee and biscuits for sure! I am so pleased with the results and for everything Oftum have done for my vision. Merry Christmas everyone and have a wonderful 2018! Best wishes, Katy and Mike, United Kingdom
I'd like to thank the team of the Oftum clinic in Prague and personally Dr. Tomas Juhas for his professional work. I had a special case (too thick cornea), so I got also a second correction. Every time I received great service and good relation, also dr.Tomas made a second correction by the method that I asked for. Thanks also for very tasty green tea with ginger and homemade cheesecake. I highly recommend Oftum clinic for vision correction.
My son (14) has just had Femto LASIK on both eyes, every part of his journey has been amazing! From our contact in the U.K. Warrick - he's wonderful, so helpfull and always available with help and support to the ladies at the clinic here in Prague and of course Dr Tomas Juhas who performed my sons surgery. First class service from start to finish, no problems with language barrier as all staff spoke perfect English, Tomas was very professional and kept my son very calm, explaining everything in great detail! My son had very poor sight and waking up today not needing his glasses was very emotional and exciting! I'd recommend this clinic to all, it's changed my sons life and we got a mini break in a beautiful city! Thank you so much Oftum!
Hey there, I had a RELEX surgery of both eyes in the Oftum Clinic about 2.5 weeks ago. It was a great experience thanks to Bjoern and the Oftum Crew! The physician and staff are very friendly and aware of the process. It took less than 5 minutes under the German Zeiss Laser. Duration of the actual treatment is just 30 seconds each eye and doesn't hurt. I was able to see right after it and found the relax chair on my own. 15 minutes later I left the clinic with an almost perfect sight. After another 3 hours rest in the Panorama Hotel which is right next to the clinic I was able to explore Prague with my girlfriend in the afternoon. Since that day my eyesight is perfect and I'm still impressed how easy and good value it was. No dry eyes, just a little sensible to bright light for about a week after.
Very good care. I would do it there immediately.
It was the best decision of my life. The organization, service and eye-surgery @ OFTUM is brillant. I had absolutelly no problems or pain and after a couiple hours after the surgery, I was able to see clearly withou my classes. For everyone who would like to get rid of his glasses it is the best clinic. Many thanks again to Dr. Tomas Juhas and the whole team in Prag !!!
