NeoVize

What NeoVize does

NeoVize s.r.o. is the operating entity of the largest Czech-Slovak-Polish private eye clinic group, founded in 2008 by CEO Petr Kocian. The group operates three full-service surgical eye clinics (Brno, Prague, Český Těšín) plus multiple satellite eye ambulances (Prague Kamýk, Brno Koliště, Újezd u Brna) and in-house optical retail, performing more than 300,000 eye operations cumulatively since inception and conducting over 15,000 eye examinations per year. Service lines span the full ophthalmology spectrum: laser refractive surgery (NeoSMILE PRO® using ReLEx SMILE and NeoLASIK HD® using femtoLASIK on the Carl Zeiss VISUMAX 800 and MEL 90 platforms, plus PRESBYOND® and HyperSMILE for presbyopia/hypermetropia), cataract surgery using ultrasound and the Alcon LenSx femtosecond laser, premium intraocular lens implantation (Alcon PanOptix, Zeiss AT LISA Tri trifocal and EDoF Vivity), phakic IOL (STAAR EVO ICL®), refractive lens exchange (RLE) and PRELEX, retina and vitreous surgery (Constellation PPV), anti-VEGF biological therapy, keratoconus treatment (Keraring, CCL/CXL cross-linking), and AI-powered diabetic retinopathy screening via the co-developed Aireen system.

The business model is a hybrid of public-payer reimbursement and private-pay all-inclusive packages. Standard cataract surgery and certain diagnostics are reimbursed through contracts with all six major Czech public health insurers (VZP, VoZP, ČPZP, OZP, ZPMV, RBP). All premium/elective procedures — laser refractive surgery, premium trifocal/EDoF IOL upgrades over the standard monofocal, EVO ICL, PRELEX, and self-pay examinations — are out-of-pocket. Package pricing is published and transparent (e.g., 22,500 CZK per eye for NeoLASIK HD® or 23,700 CZK per eye for premium cataract with trifocal IOL), and a proprietary 0% interest installment plan over 12 months removes the upfront cost barrier for elective surgery. Distribution is exclusively through owned-and-operated clinic facilities; patients are acquired through direct-to-consumer channels (Google Business Profile, organic SEO, Facebook/Instagram/YouTube, patient testimonials, and a multilingual website in CZ/SK/PL/EN/DE/IT targeting Western European medical tourism). The group also operates adjacent specialty clinics — DIAvize (diabetes/endocrinology), UroKlinikum and UroVize (urology) — under the same founder, and sister brands NeoVízia (Slovakia) and NeoVize.pl (Poland). Certifications include ISO 9001:2015 and Czech Ministry of Health facility accreditation.

Revenue model

1. Private-pay elective eye surgery: Laser eye surgery (NeoSMILE PRO, NeoLASIK HD, PRK/LASEK), premium cataract surgery with trifocal/EDoF lenses, presbyopia surgery (PRELEX), phakic IOL implantation (EVO ICL), and other refractive procedures are paid directly by patients. Cataract surgery with standard monofocal IOLs is covered by public health insurance. Premium lens upgrades and all laser/refractive procedures are entirely out-of-pocket.
2. Public health insurance reimbursement: Standard cataract surgery and certain diagnostic examinations are reimbursed through Czech public health insurance companies (Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna, Vojenská, ČPZP, OZP, ZPMV, RBP). NeoVize is contracted with multiple insurance funds.
3. Installment financing (splátkový program): A proprietary 0% interest installment plan allowing patients to spread the cost of laser and intraocular operations over 12 months with a 10,000 CZK deposit. Revenue is recognized at the full procedure price; financing is provided internally or through a partner financial institution.
4. Out-of-pocket examination and screening fees: Self-paying patients (samoplátci) pay for comprehensive eye exams, specialized diagnostics (OCT, pachymetry, Pentacam, tear film analysis), and diabetic retinopathy screening (Aireen, free for diabetics). Price lists range from 300–3,500 CZK depending on service.

Products and services

• NeoSMILE PRO® All-inclusive laser eye surgery package using the ReLEx SMILE method with the VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser. A minimally invasive, precise and painless procedure that separates a thin layer of tissue inside the cornea without disrupting corneal strength and stability, suitable for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Includes lifetime warranty.
• NeoLASIK HD® All-inclusive femtoLASIK laser eye surgery package using VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser and MEL 90 excimer laser. Creates a protective corneal flap with the femtosecond laser and vaporizes diopter layers with the excimer laser; rapid healing. Includes lifetime warranty.
• PRESBYOND® Laser-based presbyopia treatment using a blend zone technique that enables patients over 40 to see clearly at near, intermediate and distance without glasses.
• HyperSMILE SMILE-based laser procedure for correction of hypermetropia (farsightedness) and astigmatism, performed at the NeoVízia clinic in Bratislava.
• Cataract Surgery (Šedý zákal) Cataract removal surgery performed either with ultrasound or with the LenSx femtosecond laser. The clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. Covered by Czech public health insurance with standard monofocal IOLs.
• LenSx Laser Cataract Surgery Laser-assisted cataract surgery using the Alcon LenSx femtosecond laser, a knife-free technique for precise corneal incisions replacing manual surgical blades.
• Premium Trifocal / Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implantation (PanOptix, AT LISA Tri) Premium intraocular lenses (IOL) used in cataract surgery and PRELEX. Trifocal lenses (Alcon PanOptix, Zeiss AT LISA Tri) improve vision at near, intermediate and distance; EDoF lenses provide sharp distance and intermediate vision.
• EVO ICL® (Implantable Collamer Lens) Phakic intraocular contact lens (ICL) implanted behind the iris for correction of low, moderate and high myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Suitable for patients under 40 years of age. Manufactured by STAAR Surgical, CE and FDA approved.
• PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange) Refractive lens exchange combined with multifocal intraocular lens implantation for patients over 40, eliminating the need for reading glasses by enabling near and distance vision without eyewear.
• RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange / CLE) Refractive lens exchange for patients over 40 with refractive errors beyond the range of laser procedures. Replaces the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens, reducing risk of future cataract and glaucoma.
• Retina and Vitreous Treatment (PPV) Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using the Alcon Constellation system for treatment of retinal and vitreous diseases, including 23G and 25G sutureless techniques, laser retina treatment, cryopexy and biological therapy.
• Biological Therapy / Anti-VEGF Injections Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF preparations (e.g., bevacizumab) for wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, myopic macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusions, administered in outpatient settings.
• Keraring (ICRS - Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments) Implantation of semi-annular intrastromal corneal ring segments (Kerarings) made of PMMA to flatten and stabilize keratoconic cornea, with tunnels created using the VisuMax femtosecond laser.
• CCL / CXL (Corneal Cross Linking) Collagen Cross Linking treatment for keratoconus. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is applied to the cornea followed by UV light irradiation, creating cross-links between collagen fibers to stabilize and strengthen the cornea and halt further bulging.
• Aireen AI Diabetic Retinopathy Screening AI-based screening system that analyzes retinal photographs to detect the presence of diabetic retinopathy. Co-developed with leading Czech ophthalmologists, diabetologists and academic institutions. Free screening available at NeoVize clinics for diabetics.
