Beauty in Prague Eye Surgeon Invited to Lecture at the World Ophthalmology Congress 2026
We are proud to share that MUDr. Andrea Janeková, Ph.D., FEBO, FEBOS-CR, one of the experienced refractive and cataract eye surgeons working with Beauty in Prague, was invited to lecture at the Alcon Symposium during the 40th World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC 2026), one of the world’s most prestigious ophthalmology events, held this year in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Her presentation focused on the eye clinic’s experience with advanced digital technologies that help optimise the patient journey, from the initial consultation and diagnostic assessment to surgical planning and cataract surgery.
What Is the World Ophthalmology Congress?
Established in 1857, the World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC) is the world’s oldest international ophthalmology congress and one of the most important scientific meetings in eye care. Organised by the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO), the congress brings together thousands of ophthalmologists, cataract and refractive eye surgeons, researchers and industry experts from around the world.
The scientific programme covers every subspecialty of ophthalmology, showcasing the latest research, innovative surgical techniques and emerging technologies that are shaping the future of eye care.
Why Was This Invitation Significant?
Being invited to lecture at an international congress is not something every ophthalmologist experiences. Scientific speakers are selected because they can contribute valuable clinical experience, present innovative approaches or share practical solutions that can benefit colleagues from around the world. Speaking at WOC 2026 reflects professional recognition within the international ophthalmology community and demonstrates active involvement in advancing modern cataract surgery.
Every year, the World Ophthalmology Congress brings together thousands of ophthalmologists, researchers and industry leaders from around the world to share the latest scientific knowledge, surgical innovations and clinical experience. Being invited to lecture at this international congress is a recognition of professional expertise and an opportunity to contribute to the future of ophthalmology.
At Beauty in Prague, we believe that our patients deserve access to cataract and refractive eye surgeons who actively contribute to the advancement of ophthalmology, not only through their clinical work but also by sharing their expertise with the international medical community. Continuous education, research and collaboration with leading specialists help ensure that our patients benefit from the latest evidence-based approaches and modern surgical technologies.
What Was the Lecture About?
During the Alcon Symposium, Dr. Janeková presented the eye clinic’s experience with digital technologies used throughout the cataract surgery pathway. The lecture explored how digital planning platforms, advanced diagnostics and integrated surgical workflows help improve precision, streamline patient management and support predictable visual outcomes. As cataract surgery continues to evolve into an increasingly personalised procedure, digital technologies are becoming an important part of achieving the best possible results for every patient.
Why This Matters for Patients Considering Cataract or Lens Replacement Surgery
When choosing where to undergo cataract surgery or lens replacement surgery abroad (refractive lens exchange – RLE), patients often compare:
- eye surgeon experience
- surgical outcomes
- technology
- international recognition
- patient reviews
- safety standards
International recognition alone does not guarantee surgical excellence, but it does demonstrate that a cataract and refractive eye surgeon is actively contributing to the global ophthalmology community and keeping pace with the latest developments in eye surgery.
International Collaboration Drives Better Patient Care
International congresses provide an opportunity for surgeons to exchange clinical experience, discuss challenging cases and learn about emerging technologies before they become widely available. The knowledge gained through these collaborations is continuously incorporated into everyday patient care, helping improve surgical planning, patient safety and visual outcomes.
