Phakic EVO Visian ICL lenses for patients from Warsaw and Mazovia:<\/strong> qualification with MS-39 tomography, lens size selection, surgery, and all follow-ups take place at our clinic at ul. Kolejowa 1 in Warsaw. Surgery performed by Dr. Victor Derhartunian, who has completed approximately 1,500 phakic lens implantations. Price: 11,000 PLN per eye<\/strong> \u2013 one rate for every variant, including toric. Qualification examination: 400 PLN.<\/p>\n\n

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

ICL lenses in Warsaw \u2013 short and concrete<\/h2>\n\n

How many years does a phakic lens last?<\/strong> The ICL lens remains in the eye permanently and does not wear out. It is removed only when cataract develops after years \u2013 during one operation we remove the ICL together with the natural lens and implant an IOL. For many patients, that moment never comes.<\/p>\n\n

For whom?<\/strong> For people between 21 and 60 years of age (with stable refraction also from 18 years) with high myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, and also when the cornea is too thin for laser. Everything is decided by the qualification examination.<\/p>\n\n

How much does it cost?<\/strong> 11,000 PLN per eye, toric version at no extra charge; qualification examination with MS-39 tomography \u2013 400 PLN. Details and installments: phakic lens price list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Where?<\/strong> Qualification, surgery, and follow-ups take place at one clinic at ul. Kolejowa 1 in Wola, a few minutes’ walk from Warszawa Zachodnia station. Surgery performed by Dr. Victor Derhartunian.<\/p>\n\n

Laser or ICL lens? Qualification in Warsaw decides<\/h2>\n\n

During the qualification at Kolejowa 1, we first check if the eyes are suitable for laser correction \u2013 we perform laser vision correction<\/a> at the same clinic. We propose the ICL lens when laser would be a compromise: with a thin or irregular cornea, with refractive errors up to \u221220 D and +10 D, and with a tendency for dry eye. The implant lies behind the iris, does not remove corneal tissue, and can be removed if necessary.<\/p>\n\n

We describe the differences between the methods, ranges of refractive errors, and research results in detail on the page phakic ICL lenses \u2013 compendium<\/a> \u2013 here we focus on what the treatment looks like in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n

Safety starts with measurement<\/h2>\n\n

In the diagnostic lab at Kolejowa 1, we measure the anterior segment of the eye with a second-generation MS-39 tomograph with axial length measurement<\/strong> and count corneal endothelial cells. From the resulting 3D model, we select the lens size \u2013 the vault, i.e., the distance between the ICL and the eye’s natural lens, depends on it, which is the most common cause of complications described in literature.<\/p>\n\n

We determine the size before deciding on the procedure, not during it. The photos below are from our lab in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n
