The qualification examination costs PLN 400. We state the price per eye because the implant is selected for each eye separately; we typically operate on both eyes during one session (PLN 22,000).<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>How quickly can I get an appointment?<\/strong> We usually offer an appointment for the qualification examination within a few days, and the procedure itself is planned shortly thereafter. We do not maintain waiting lists.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>How long is the waiting time for NFZ cataract surgery in Warsaw?<\/strong> According to the NFZ Treatment Dates Information System (July 2026), 14 facilities in Warsaw perform cataract surgery, and the waiting time ranges from approximately 2 weeks to over 5 months, depending on the hospital \u2014 the median is about 6 weeks.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>What is the difference between an NFZ-reimbursed lens and a premium lens?<\/strong> The NFZ reimburses a standard monofocal lens \u2014 after surgery, glasses are usually still needed, and astigmatism remains uncorrected.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Who performs the procedure?<\/strong> Every procedure is personally performed by Dr. Victor Derhartunian, FEBO, FWCRS \u2013 according to the same protocols that apply in all SwissLaser and EyeLaser clinics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"sl-proof-line has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SwissLaser in numbers:<\/strong> over 25,000 procedures performed by the chief surgeon \u00b7 clinics in Warsaw, Krakow, Vienna, and Zurich \u00b7 Google: 4,8 (258 reviews, Warsaw) and 5,0 (171 reviews, Krakow)<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is the waiting time for NFZ cataract surgery in Warsaw?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to NFZ data (Treatment Dates Information System, as of July 2026), cataract surgery is performed in Warsaw by <strong>14 facilities<\/strong>, and a total of approximately <strong>5,800 people<\/strong> are waiting for the procedure. Waiting times vary drastically between hospitals: from approximately <strong>2 weeks to over 5 months<\/strong>, with a median of about 6 weeks.

We describe below how a private procedure differs from a reimbursed one, apart from the appointment date.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National Health Fund (NFZ) or Private in Warsaw? Three Key Differences<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lens.<\/strong> The NFZ covers monofocal implants \u2013 providing sharp vision at a single distance, with glasses needed for other distances. EDOF, trifocal, and toric implants are not covered; at our clinic, they cost the same as any other model.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Wait Time.<\/strong> In 14 Warsaw NFZ facilities, the median waiting time is approximately 6 weeks. At Kolejowa 1, we usually schedule qualification within a few days, and the procedure within one to two weeks after that.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>One Doctor from Start to Finish.<\/strong> Qualification, procedure, and follow-up appointments are conducted by Dr. med. Victor Derhartunian, at the same clinic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly: if a monofocal lens and reading glasses are sufficient for you, NFZ surgery is medically fully valuable.

The decision on whether and which lens to implant is made after an examination at our Warsaw clinic (400 PLN): optical biometry, second-generation MS-39 tomography with axial length measurement, evaluation of the fundus and cornea.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For glaucoma, diabetes, AMD, after previous laser correction, or with very high myopia, the procedure is usually possible, but lens selection requires particular caution \u2013 these situations and full criteria are described in the <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/cataracts\/\">cataract guide<\/a>. In case of active eye inflammation, we first treat the cause.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How treatment proceeds in Warsaw<\/h2>\n\n<ol class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Qualification<\/strong> \u2013 approximately 90 minutes at Kolejowa 1; you leave with a lens recommendation and price.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Procedure<\/strong> \u2013 in our operating room, about 15 minutes per eye, with topical anesthesia, no hospital stay. The clouded lens is removed by phacoemulsification and replaced with a premium implant.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Second eye<\/strong> \u2013 standardly in the same session, or separately upon request; therefore, the price is given per eye.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Next-day check-up<\/strong> \u2013 also at Kolejowa 1, subsequent ones according to plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lenses We Implant<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Premium implants from Johnson &amp; Johnson, Bausch + Lomb, Alcon, and Teleon \u2013 monofocal, toric, EDOF, and trifocal. The model does not change the price; we select it during qualification based on measurements and lifestyle: night drivers and people working with screens often get EDOF, while those expecting full independence from glasses receive a trifocal lens. <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/edof-lenses\/\">Comparison of premium lenses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cataract surgery with premium implant: PLN 11,000 per eye<\/strong> \u2013 one price for every lens model, including toric.
