Ophthalmologists in Prague, Czech Republic

i don't think she speaks english, but she is the best in prague MUDr. Helena Hrdinová - Oční ordinace - Sokolská 1662/37 224 941 815 helenahrdinova@centrum.cz www.jsemlekar.cz/996

https://www.facebook.com/easyoptic.cz/home They do a very good job and more than English speaking enough for the likes of you.

Marketa Brožková at Lexum, the best there is.

Some of these high-end brands can be found at Optika Poličar. http://www.optika-policar.cz/

Peter Maldonado true enough, but there are sites out there that can show you how to properly take your measurements and compare them online. Personally, I cracked the lenses of an old pair of RayBan Wayfarers and rather than throw out the frame, I just got them fitted with prescription lenses at Eiffel Optical and BAM! new glasses LOL

Dr. Ivan Fišer, Lexum Clinic, http://www.lexum.cz/tym/mudr-ivan-fiser-ph-d, address: Poliklinika Budějovická, Antala Staška 1670/80, Praha 4.

I can recommend the eye clinic at Vojenska nemocnice. They take walk-ins. Most of the doctors there would speak English, but to be sure, you might want to call and double-check if the one on duty today or tomorrow does: http://www.uvn.cz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=76&lang=en

Here is the address and directions. It is building A, entrance A2 : http://www.uvn.cz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1502&Itemid=1061&lang=en

Motol is the biggest hospital in the country. http://www.fnmotol.cz/en/ The admitting nurse may not speak English but many doctors do, and well.

yeah, although if you tell your cabbie Nemocnice Motol, they'll know. Depending on where you travel from, there are quite a few buses that go there, the stop is called nemocnice Motol. http://www.fnmotol.cz/en/practical-information/jak-se-k-nam-dostanete/

(Btw Motol has a foreigners' department as well but that's for people without Czech insurance. It's not outrageously expensive but you shouldn't have to pay anything as you have Czech insurance.) I believe the 90 czk fee still applies for emergency/urgent care visits, you need to go to a machine with the sign that says REGULAČNÍ POPLATKY or something to that effect, throw in coins and get a little receipt which you then present in the doctor's office to the nurse as proof of payment. But if you only have paper money they also have machines that will give you coins. The nurses and doctors at Motol, like at any huge hospital, can be anything from indifferent bordering on rude to extremely helpful and sympathetic... so - good luck.

http://www.cockyshop.cz/

Why bother with a German site? I've been using http://www.cocky-kontaktni.cz for years with nought a problem. Quick shipping, usually goes out the day you place your order, in your hands the next morning, and you can pay with a US credit card.

We went to the optical shop in Novy Smichov for contacts and they told us that there are no contact lenses that correct for astigmatism. Does anyone know whether this is true? Or is this just a Czech thing? I don't remember this ever being a problem in the US and our son's vision is pretty blurry with the contacts the Czech shop insists are right.

S Optic. Just north of Andel metro. soptic.cz

http://www.eyedoctor.cz/ Speaks English

Easy Optic were good when I had my eyes tested, but the glasses were very expensive. You can always take the prescription elsewhere though. http://www.easyoptic.cz/en/book-your-eye-exam

http://www.altaoptika.cz/en/consultation I have used these people and have had wonderful experience

Don't know about the insurance, but Dr. Brozova at the Budejovicka poliklinika is a children's ophthalmologist.

It is a bit far away from you as it is in P6 but alta Optika have been very good for us http://www.altaoptika.cz/

Fokus Optik, Prague 8.

MUDr Jan Krásný

This is the site and the address. It's a lady dr.- the only dr. there. I can't remember the name...I will write it if I'll find it somewhere, http://www.fokusoptik.cz/kontakty/

Jakub Vrba www.optikavrba.cz Speaks English. No insurance. I have a very complicated prescription and he nailed it. For contact lenses, I've used www.cockyshop.cz with success.

I second Jakub Vrba - was there just recently for exam and prescription glasses.
