After fifty, laser therefore solves only part of the problem, and cataract develops anyway in a dozen or so years. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One procedure instead of two stages:<\/strong> we replace the natural lens with a premium implant \u2013 we correct refractive error and presbyopia simultaneously.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Cataract ceases to be an issue:<\/strong> the implanted lens does not cloud. The disease that affects almost everyone after seventy will no longer occur. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Stable result:<\/strong> the lens does not change with age the way the cornea does after laser correction in patients with progressive presbyopia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Honestly:<\/strong> this is an intraocular procedure, so we weigh indications more carefully than with laser. In persons under 45 with preserved accommodation we usually advise against RLE and recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/laser-vision-correction\/\">laser correction<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/lens-surgery\/phakic-lenses\/\">phakic ICL lenses<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I qualify for lens exchange?<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Green light:<\/strong> age usually above 45\u201350 years, refractive error with accompanying presbyopia, early changes in the natural lens, healthy retina.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Yellow light \u2013 requires assessment:<\/strong> glaucoma, diabetes, high myopia (risk of retinal detachment requires separate discussion), AMD changes.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Red light:<\/strong> young age with preserved accommodation, active eye inflammation, unrealistic expectations about vision without glasses in every situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the procedure works in Krak\u00f3w<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1. Qualification \u2013 in Krak\u00f3w:<\/strong> approx. 90 minutes (400 PLN); biometry, MS-39 tomography, fundus assessment, lens power calculation and model selection. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>2. Surgery \u2013 approx. 15 minutes per eye:<\/strong> topical anesthesia, outpatient. We remove the natural lens by phacoemulsification and replace it with a premium implant. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>3.

There are two different vision profiles, and the choice depends on how you actually use your vision. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Trifocal lens<\/strong> \u2013 full range of focus: distance, intermediate and reading. The price for this: light effects (halos) may appear around lights at night. This is not a defect of the implant but the physics of light refraction on multifocal rings. They usually diminish during neuroadaptation.   <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>EDOF lens<\/strong> \u2013 extended depth of focus instead of separate focal points. Very good contrast and minimal light effects at night, making it a sensible choice for drivers and people who work extensively at monitors. With fine print, some patients use weak reading glasses.  <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Diagnostics and lifestyle determine the choice.<\/strong> A professional driver, photographer and person who reads several hours a day need different implants.

Possible consequences include: secondary cataract (removed with YAG laser, 600 PLN), transient corneal edema, increased intraocular pressure, and with high myopia an elevated risk of retinal detachment \u2013 we discuss this separately before the decision. With multifocal lenses, light effects at night are possible during the adaptation period.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who operates in Krak\u00f3w<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lens exchange in Krak\u00f3w is performed personally by Dr med. Victor Derhartunian, FEBO, FWCRS \u2013 a refractive surgeon with over 25,000 procedures, leading SwissLaser clinics in Warsaw and Krak\u00f3w and EyeLaser in Vienna and Zurich. He was born in Krak\u00f3w, gained experience in Vienna and Zurich, and in his home city operates with the same technology and according to the same protocols as in Switzerland. Qualification, lens selection, surgery and follow-ups take place at one clinic at ul. Kluczborska 15\/U3.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-slrlekrakow\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion exclusive is-style-default\">\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Will I still need glasses after the procedure?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the type of implant chosen. Trifocal lenses usually provide independence from glasses at all distances, including reading. EDOF lenses give very good distance and intermediate vision; with fine print, some patients reach for weak reading glasses. Which variant is right is determined by diagnostics and your lifestyle.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>How much does refractive lens exchange cost?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11,000 PLN per eye with premium implant \u2013 one price for every model, including toric. Qualification examination: 400 PLN. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Can I get cataracts after the procedure?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The implanted lens does not cloud like the natural lens. However, the lens capsule may cloud (so-called secondary cataract) \u2013 it is removed with a few-minute YAG laser procedure.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>How does RLE differ from cataract surgery?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically it is the same procedure. The difference is in the indication: with cataract we operate on a clouded lens, with RLE \u2013 on a clear lens, in order to correct refractive error and presbyopia. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>From what age is it worth considering RLE?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually above 45\u201350 years, when presbyopia accompanies refractive error. In younger patients with preserved accommodation we rather recommend laser correction or phakic ICL lenses. <\/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>Is refractive lens exchange reimbursed by the NFZ?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The NFZ finances cataract surgery with a monofocal lens when cataract is already diagnosed. Refractive lens exchange is a private procedure: we perform it before cataract develops, and we implant a premium lens that also corrects presbyopia. In Krak\u00f3w it costs 11,000 PLN per eye; installments are possible with Santander Consumer Bank.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>How long does the procedure take and does it hurt?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure itself takes about 15\u201320 minutes per eye and is painless \u2013 we anesthetize the eye with drops, you are conscious and feel only touch. As standard we operate on both eyes in one session \u2013 each as a separate procedure. On request we operate on them on separate dates. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Is it worth having lens exchange instead of laser correction after age 45? <\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laser reshapes the cornea but does not touch the natural lens, which hardens with age and is responsible for presbyopia. RLE corrects refractive error and presbyopia simultaneously, and cataract can no longer develop. We speak honestly, however: this is an intraocular procedure, so we weigh indications more carefully than with laser, and we usually advise against it in persons under 45 with preserved accommodation.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Are both eyes operated on the same day?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes \u2014 this is our standard: both eyes in one session, one recovery. On request we operate on them on separate dates; for patients from outside Krak\u00f3w we then plan the appointments to minimise the number of trips.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>For how many days will I receive medical leave?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually 3 to 7 days per eye \u2013 that is how long is needed for safe healing before returning to work, especially at a computer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Will I see halos around lights at night after the procedure?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With multifocal lenses, halos at night result from their ring construction and in most patients diminish within weeks to months of neuroadaptation. For people who drive a lot at night, we more often recommend an EDOF lens, which produces fewer light effects at the cost of reading the finest print. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Will the lens also correct astigmatism?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. With astigmatism we implant a toric variant with a built-in cylinder axis \u2013 at SwissLaser at no extra charge; a premium implant always costs 11,000 PLN per eye. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Can I choose the type of lens myself?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can have a preference, but we select the model after eye biometry and a conversation about your lifestyle: a trifocal lens gives a full range of focus, EDOF smooth distance and intermediate vision with less halo, monofocal the clearest distance image with reading glasses. All variants cost the same. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>Who performs lens exchange in Krak\u00f3w?<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr med.
