Victor Derhartunian. As standard, we operate on both eyes during one session; at the patient&#8217;s request, in separate appointments. Two follow-up visits in the first month are included in the price, and the procedure is performed in Warsaw and Krakow.   <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>How much does cataract surgery cost at SwissLaser?<\/strong> 11,000 PLN per eye with a premium implant \u2013 spherical, toric, or Customized \u2013 one price, no surcharge for lens type. The qualifying examination costs 400 PLN, possible YAG capsulotomy for secondary cataract 800 PLN per eye. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Is cataract surgery painful?<\/strong> Modern cataract surgery is performed under local anesthesia (drops) and is virtually painless. Patients may experience slight discomfort, a sensation of pressure, or light sensitivity, but not pain. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Will I need glasses after cataract surgery?<\/strong> It depends on the type of lens implanted. With standard monofocal lenses, most patients need glasses for reading or distance (depending on the lens setting). <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>How long is the wait for cataract surgery on the NHS?<\/strong> Depending on the facility, from a few weeks to over two years; current waiting times for each hospital are available at terminyleczenia.nfz.gov.pl. The NHS covers the procedure with a monofocal lens. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-c7b04e1f\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset bg-gradient\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-70c58721\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-b6d2ae52\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-08a62e96\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Cataract<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sl-stadt-untertitel has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Warsaw \u00b7 Krakow \u00b7 Vienna \u00b7 Zurich<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world gradually loses contrast and color, car headlights begin to dazzle, and glasses \u2013 though increasingly strong \u2013 stop helping.

It is through this lens that light passes, which then focuses on the retina, enabling clear vision. When the lens becomes cloudy, light cannot pass through freely, leading to gradual vision deterioration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, cataract remains the leading cause of blindness worldwide, accounting for approximately 51% of vision loss cases. It is estimated that in Poland alone, this problem affects over 800,000 people over the age of 60.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Cataract is a natural consequence of aging, similar to graying hair,&#8221; explains Dr. Victor Derhartunian, director of SwissLaser Clinic. &#8220;Although we cannot completely stop this process, modern medicine offers safe and effective methods of restoring good vision by replacing the clouded lens with a modern implant.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div

Common Symptoms of Cataract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataract usually develops slowly and painlessly, and its first symptoms may be easily overlooked or attributed to natural aging

Unfortunately, current scientific research does not confirm the effectiveness of any pharmacological methods in treating existing cataract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Preparations are available on the market that, according to manufacturers, may slow cataract development; however, their effectiveness has not been confirmed in randomized clinical trials. They typically contain antioxidants (vitamins C, E, A), lutein, zeaxanthin, or omega-3 fatty acids, which may play a role in prevention but do not treat existing lens opacities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Some studies suggest that certain substances (e.g., lanosterol) may potentially prevent protein aggregation in the lens, but these are still early research phases, and their clinical application remains a distant prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In light of current medical knowledge, the only effective method of treating cataract is surgical intervention, involving removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with an artificial implant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-ee8e3110\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/icon5-c892b3.svg\" alt=\"Icon5\" class=\"wp-image-285\" style=\"border-radius:15px;object-fit:cover;width:100px;height:100px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>Surgical Removal of Cataract as an Effective Treatment Method<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. According to WHO data, approximately 20 million such procedures are performed annually.

It is worth clarifying the terms, as three different things are hidden under this phrase. <\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ultrasonic phacoemulsification<\/strong> \u2013 the standard worldwide and the method we use at SwissLaser. The clouded lens is fragmented with an ultrasonic tip through a 2 mm incision and an implant is inserted. This is not a laser, although it is colloquially called that.  <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Femtosecond laser-assisted surgery (FLACS)<\/strong> \u2013 the laser performs incisions, capsule opening, and preliminary lens fragmentation, and the rest is completed by the surgeon with ultrasound anyway. Large randomized studies (British FACT and French FEMCAT) have not shown that this provides better visual acuity or fewer complications than phacoemulsification alone in the hands of an experienced surgeon \u2013 at significantly higher costs. Therefore, we do not offer this option as standard.  <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>YAG laser<\/strong> \u2013 the only laser that has daily application in cataract: a few-minute <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/secondary-cataract-yag-laser-capsulotomy\/\">capsulotomy for secondary cataract<\/a>, if the lens capsule becomes cloudy after months or years (800 PLN per eye).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality of vision after surgery is determined not by the type of energy used to remove the old lens, but by the accuracy of pre-operative measurements and implant selection. We dedicate 90 minutes of qualification to this. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-7e2b26fe\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-399418a9\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jakich implant\u00f3w u\u017cywa si\u0119 podczas operacji za\u0107my? | SwissLaser Warszawa\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2jWUDfXWhiw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-b49a967d\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-709adb99\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12\" id=\"sekcja-16\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Intraocular Lenses<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-a077d462\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-6da26ef7\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-7c595e07\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-reverse-columns-mobile has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-c1af9245\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp slow\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-5f197092\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-9e3acee1\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13\" id=\"sekcja-17\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Importance of Choosing the Right Lens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing an intraocular lens (IOL \u2013 Intraocular Lens) is one of the most important decisions made before cataract surgery. Modern implants not only restore transparency of the eye&#8217;s optical media but can also correct existing refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/which-lens-to-choose-for-cataract-surgery\/\">lens selection<\/a> depends on many factors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Individual visual needs of the patient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifestyle and activities performed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General eye condition (e.g., coexisting diseases)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expectations regarding vision quality after surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial capabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At SwissLaser Clinic, each patient undergoes detailed preoperative diagnostics, which allows determination of optimal implant parameters.

They provide sharp vision at one distance \u2013 most commonly for distance, although it is also possible to set focus at intermediate or near distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Main features of monofocal lenses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High image quality<\/strong> \u2013 provide very good, sharp vision at one selected distance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low price<\/strong> \u2013 they are the least expensive type of implants, often fully covered by the NHS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Need for additional correction<\/strong> \u2013 glasses are usually necessary for reading or distance (depending on lens setting)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High contrast<\/strong> \u2013 provide very good contrast vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimal side effects<\/strong> \u2013 extremely rarely cause adaptation problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of monofocal lens implantation, some patients opt for so-called monovision \u2013 a technique in which one lens is set for distance vision and the other for near. This method can reduce dependence on glasses, although it requires adaptation and is not suitable for everyone.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-030ae3b9\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-d4ad45d5\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-93db5d57\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-reverse-columns-mobile has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-2487cfd8\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp slow\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-2ce18ee1\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-7ee8f2fa\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-15\" id=\"sekcja-19\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Bifocal Lenses and Their Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bifocal lenses represent the next step in the evolution of intraocular implants.

However, in approximately 20-40% of patients, so-called secondary cataract (posterior capsule opacification) may develop, which is easily corrected with a short laser procedure.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>What Are the Contraindications to Cataract Surgery?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are few absolute contraindications.

The only treatment is surgery: removal of the clouded lens and implantation of an artificial lens.
