How you can visit us
Optika MAJA Prague, a family run optician in Prague
Optika Maja is a family business founded in 1993 in Prague's Vinohrady district. We offer prescription glasses and sunglasses for children and adults. Our aim is to provide individual and comprehensive optical services including consultations, advice, price quotes, eye tests and glasses servicing. We can help with eye conditions such as astigmatism, short-sightedness, long-sightedness and presbyopia. We specialise in multifocal glasses.
Time and calm to choose
We give the selection of frames and lenses as much time as you need. On request we will look after you privately, even outside opening hours.
Professional optometry
Your eyesight is measured by trained staff on modern instruments, right in the store and without an appointment.
A discreet environment
No sales pressure. We advise, we recommend and we leave the decision to you.
We accept payment cards
You can pay by Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
How we differ from the chains
Glasses in as little as 24 hours
We cut lenses in our own workshop and keep standard lenses in stock. That means we can handle urgent orders quickly, within 24 hours for selected lenses.
Prescription lenses for wraparound sports glasses
Standard lenses won't do for curved frames for cycling, running or the outdoors, as they would distort the image. So we calculate FreeForm lenses for the curve of the frame. That means less distortion and no swimming effect.
We repair what others turn away
The chains will usually offer you new glasses. We solder metal and titanium parts, replace spring hinges, repair hinges and recut old lenses to fit a new frame. We've been practising our craft since 1993.
Our glasses
We will help you choose glasses that suit your eyes, your face and your budget.
Our speciality
Multifocal glasses
One pair for near and far. The ideal solution after forty, when one prescription is no longer enough.
Prescription glasses
For children and adults. A wide choice of frames in every price range.
Standard production time for glasses is 7 to 10 days, with express service within 24 hours. Full range →
What if you can't get used to your glasses or you damage them
If you can't get used to your lenses
Our custom FreeForm and varifocal lenses come with an adaptation guarantee. If they don't suit you, we'll adjust their parameters or exchange them for a different type free of charge.
If your lenses are damaged or lost
We offer insurance for custom lenses. It covers not only manufacturing defects but also scratches, drops and breakage. It even applies if they're lost or stolen.
Your glasses, our concern
We accept prescriptions and health insurance vouchers. You can also pay with employee benefits, by QR code, contactless, and companies can also pay by invoice.
How it works here
02
Consultation
We help you choose frames and lenses, calmly and without pressure.
04
Service and repairs
Adjustments and small repairs to your glasses, long after purchase.
The equipment we use to test your eyes and cut your lenses
Spectacle lenses
We use Essilor lenses from France and Hoya lenses from Japan. Both brands are among the largest spectacle lens manufacturers in the world.
Eye tests
We test your eyes in an F.I.S.O. examination unit with GrandSeiko and Nidek instruments. The measurements for making your lenses are taken to within hundredths of a millimetre.
Our own workshop
We cut lenses ourselves on Nidek and Essilor CNC edgers, so your glasses are finished right here on site.
“Thank you for repairing and straightening the glasses I bought at another big optician in a shopping centre, where they kept slipping off from day one and eventually fell on the floor. My warranty claim there was rejected. So thank you again for your help and willingness. Next time I'll buy my glasses here with you, where I know I'll be well looked after.”
“Great place, experienced staff and a wide range! I found exactly the glasses I'd been looking for elsewhere.”
“I needed my glasses repaired urgently and they did it quickly with no waiting. The gentleman was very polite, thank you so much!”
FAQs
Do I need to book in advance, or can I just walk in off the street?
You don't need to book. You can come to either of our branches in Vinohrady any time during opening hours. We'll test your eyes on the spot and help you choose glasses. If you want to be sure of a specific time, book an express appointment or arrange a private visit.
How much does an eye test cost?
If you have your prescription glasses made with us, meaning both the frame and the lenses, the eye test is free.
What payment methods and employee benefit schemes do you accept?
You can pay in cash, by card or with Pluxee (formerly Sodexo), Edenred, Benefit Plus and Up Déjeuner (Unišek) employee benefits. We can also issue an invoice for your glasses so you can claim a contribution from your FKSP (employee benefit fund) fund.
What's the difference between a regular visit, an express booking and a private appointment?
For a regular visit, just walk in without an appointment any time during opening hours. With an express booking, you choose an exact time and we'll see you then with no waiting. A private visit means the shop and staff are there just for you and whoever comes with you, even outside opening hours.
Do I have to collect my finished glasses in person?
No. You only need to visit us once. We'll take care of all the necessary measurements when you place your order and send your finished glasses wherever you need them, even to Zanzibar or Bhutan. We've done it before. If you've thought of glasses at the last minute or you're only in Prague briefly, that's no problem.
