The feature follows the introduction of the new lens at a limited number of selected centres around the world. Dr Janeková was among the surgeons involved in these first procedures.
From World-First Implantation to a ZEISS Surgeon Feature
In April 2026, Prague became one of the first locations worldwide where the new ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P intraocular lens was implanted. Only 11 selected centres worldwide participated in the initial introduction of the new lens technology. Dr Janeková performed one of these first implantations in Prague.

The new ZEISS video now gives patients an opportunity to hear directly from Dr Janeková about her experience with the technology.
Who Is Dr Andrea Janeková?
Dr Andrea Janeková, MD, PhD, FEBO, FEBOS-CR is a refractive and cataract surgeon specialising in lens-based eye surgery. She performs approximately 3,000 intraocular procedures each year and regularly participates in international ophthalmology congresses and professional education in Europe and North America.
Her work includes:
- lens replacement surgery / refractive lens exchange (RLE),
- cataract surgery,
- premium intraocular lens procedures,
- astigmatism correction,
- and advanced refractive surgery.
For international patients travelling to Prague for eye surgery, surgeon experience is one of the most important factors when choosing where to have treatment.
What Is the ZEISS AT LUCIA Toric 721P?
The ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P is a monofocal toric intraocular lens developed for cataract patients who also have astigmatism. During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. A toric lens is specifically designed to correct astigmatism as part of the procedure. The ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P therefore combines cataract treatment with correction of corneal astigmatism, with the aim of providing stable and predictable distance vision.
Does Beauty in Prague Use ZEISS Lenses for Lens Replacement Surgery?
The lens used for any individual patient is selected according to their eyes, prescription, measurements, lifestyle and visual requirements. There is no single intraocular lens that is best for every patient. Depending on suitability, patients considering Lens Replacement Surgery in Prague may be offered different types of intraocular lenses, including premium lens options from established international manufacturers. A comprehensive 2-3 hours pre-operative eye examination in Prague is therefore essential before a refractive eye surgeon recommends a particular lens.
Why Does This Matter if You Are Considering Lens Replacement Surgery Abroad?
Choosing eye surgery abroad should never be based on price alone. Patients should also consider:
- the experience of the surgeon,
- the number and type of procedures they perform,
- the diagnostic technology used,
- the quality and suitability of the intraocular lenses,
- pre-operative assessment,
- post-operative care,
- and what happens if they need help after returning home.
International collaboration with established ophthalmic technology manufacturers is another useful indication of a surgeon’s involvement in modern eye surgery. Dr Janeková’s participation in the first implantations of a new ZEISS intraocular lens — followed by her appearance in ZEISS Medical Technology’s own educational content — provides patients with an opportunity to see that expertise independently represented outside Beauty in Prague.

She performs approximately 3,000 intraocular procedures annually and participates in international ophthalmology education and congresses.
Why was Dr Andrea Janeková featured by ZEISS?
Dr Janeková was involved in the first worldwide implantations of the new ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P intraocular lens. ZEISS Medical Technology subsequently featured her discussing her experience with the new lens technology.
What is the ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P?
The ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P is a monofocal toric intraocular lens designed for cataract patients with astigmatism. It replaces the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery while also correcting corneal astigmatism.
Is ZEISS AT LUCIA toric a trifocal lens?
No. The ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P is a monofocal toric intraocular lens. It should not be confused with premium multifocal or trifocal lenses that may be recommended for some patients undergoing refractive lens exchange or lens replacement surgery.
What is the difference between lens replacement surgery and cataract surgery?
Both procedures replace the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens. Cataract surgery is performed when the natural lens has become cloudy because of a cataract. Lens replacement surgery, also called refractive lens exchange or RLE, may be performed before a significant cataract develops, primarily to correct vision and reduce dependence on glasses.
Can astigmatism be corrected during cataract surgery?
Yes. Toric intraocular lenses are specifically designed to correct corneal astigmatism when the natural lens is replaced. Whether a toric lens is suitable depends on the type and degree of astigmatism and the patient’s individual eye measurements.
How do I know which lens is best for my eyes?
The most suitable intraocular lens depends on several factors, including your prescription, astigmatism, eye health, lifestyle and expectations for near, intermediate and distance vision. Detailed diagnostic measurements and consultation with the surgeon are required before a lens can be recommended.
How much does lens replacement surgery cost in Prague?
Lens Replacement Surgery with Beauty in Prague currently starts from £875 (€950) per eye. The final cost depends on the type of lens and treatment recommended after assessment.
