Full transcript
Mrs. Nováková, could you describe how your eyesight has changed recently, especially when reading, driving at night, or noticing glare from bright lights?
Poslední dobou vidím všechno jako přes mlhu a světla aut mě v noci hodně oslňují, hlavně když řídím.
That sounds like cataracts clouding your lens, which explains the glare and blurred vision. I'd recommend surgery at Nepean Hospital, which usually takes about twenty minutes per eye.
Bude to bolet? Budu potřebovat celkovou anestezii, nebo to půjde jen s umrtvujícími kapkami?
No, you won't need general anaesthesia for this procedure. We'll use local anaesthetic drops instead, so you'll stay awake but shouldn't feel any pain at all.
Jak dlouho budu čekat na termín operace, pokud nemám soukromé zdravotní pojištění?
Without private health cover, the public waiting list is typically around six weeks, though urgent cases involving significant vision loss can be seen much sooner.
A pokud mám soukromé pojištění, může se to zrychlit, nebo to nezáleží na tom?
Yes, with private health insurance, we can often schedule your surgery within two weeks, depending on the surgeon's availability and hospital bookings.
Jak budu muset po operaci pečovat o oko? Budu muset kapky používat každý den?
You'll use antibiotic drops four times daily for about two weeks, and please come back for a follow-up appointment in exactly seven days to check healing.
Dobře, poznamenám si to. Přijdu na kontrolu přesně za týden a budu kapky používat podle vašich pokynů.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
