Oční Centrum Praha

What Oční Centrum Praha does

Oční Centrum Praha is a private ophthalmology clinic headquartered in Prague's Holešovice district (Czech Republic), founded in 2000 and operating from a flagship facility in the Port7 building since April 2023. The clinic provides comprehensive eye care across cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange (PRELEX), ReLEx SMILE laser vision correction, glaucoma treatment, vitreoretinal surgery, anti-VEGF biological therapy, keratoconus management, dry eye treatment, and oculoplastic surgery. It is staffed by ~50 personnel including 15+ ophthalmologists led by head physician Prim. MUDr. Radan Zugar and professional guarantor Doc. MUDr. Jiří Pašta, and operates four high-tech operating theaters equipped with Alcon Centurion (with SAFE Vision System), Zeiss, and Ellex Tango Reflex laser platforms.

The business model is a hybrid fee-for-service / public-insurance model. Basic cataract surgery and certain glaucoma and retinal procedures are covered by Czech public health insurance; revenue uplift comes from patient-paid upgrades to premium intraocular lenses (trifocal, multifocal, EDOF, toric) where over 85% of cataract patients opt for premium tiers priced at CZK 4,900-35,700 per eye. Self-pay procedures (ReLEx SMILE at CZK 25,000/eye, PRELEX at CZK 15,000/eye, ICL from CZK 29,900/eye, anti-VEGF injections from CZK 3,900, blepharoplasty at CZK 15,000) form the higher-margin revenue mix. Patient acquisition flows through the integrated MediPort network of six primary eye care clinics, direct online booking, third-party physician directories (LekariOnline.cz, Známý lékař), and a growing medical-tourism channel targeting Russian-, English-, and Ukrainian-speaking international patients.

OCP is privately held under majority owner and Chairman Ing. Ján Kriška, with no disclosed venture or institutional investment. The clinic reports over 100,000 surgeries performed since founding, 10,000+ surgeries annually, and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification plus the Czech Ministry of Health's highest Type III accreditation. Vertical integration extends to the in-house Port7 pharmacy and Optika Port7 optical store, both opened in October 2023, and to co-development partnerships with Lenstec (SBL-3 bifocal IOL) and Zeiss Medical Technology (world-premiere AT ELANA toric IOL).
