Frequently asked questions<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n

What is worth knowing?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Laser vision correction<\/h5>
\n \n

How long does recovery take?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Full stabilisation takes up to 12 months, but improvement in vision is usually seen in the first few days. During this time, halo effects, night glare and dry eyes are possible - these usually gradually subside as the cornea heals.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Correction methods - how do they differ?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

They differ in the correction range, the rate of healing and the post-procedure symptom profile. The choice is determined, among other things, by the thickness and shape of the cornea. The right method is recommended by your doctor after the consultation and a full analysis of your examination results.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Is laser vision correction covered by the National Health Fund (NFZ)?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Unfortunately, laser vision correction procedures are not reimbursed by the National Health Fund. We try to meet this by offering the possibility of spreading the payment into convenient instalments, in the amount selected by you. Applying for instalment financing through Santander or MediRaty is straightforward. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How much time off work will I need after surgery?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Depending on the method: SMILE \/ iLASIK iDesign \/ FemtoLASIK usually 2-3 days, after PRK\/EBK about 7-14 days due to slower healing. Limit screen and exercise for a few weeks. Your doctor will advise on time off work on an individual basis.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can my prescription worsen after surgery?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Serious complications are rare. More common temporary symptoms include: dry eye, halo or glare, fluctuations in visual acuity. Very rarely: infection or corneal ectasia. A thorough consultation and strict adherence to post-operative instructions are key.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Are the effects of the procedure stable in the long term?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes, the result is permanent. After the age of 40, presbyopia (need for glasses for nearsightedness) may appear - this is a natural process, independent of the previous defect and the course of laser vision correction.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How effective is laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Laser vision correction effectively corrects myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. In 98% of patients, vision after the procedure is as good as, or better than, with glasses or contact lenses. If the initial result is not as strong as expected, a re-treatment is available free of charge within the first year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Laser correction - consultation<\/h5>
\n \n

Is pregnancy a contraindication to laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes. Pregnancy is a temporary contraindication to laser vision correction.<\/strong> Hormonal changes during this period can affect the parameters of the eye, such as corneal thickness and shape, and the stability of your refractive error. We therefore recommend postponing the consultation and procedure until after pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, once your vision has stabilised.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What tests are performed before the procedure?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

During qualification, we perform a set of detailed examinations to accurately assess the condition of your eyes and safely plan the procedure. These include measurement of the visual defect and curvature of the cornea (autorefractometry), its thickness (pachymetry) and three-dimensional imaging (topography and tomography).<\/p>\n

In addition, we perform examinations of the structures of the eye, such as OCT (retinal and optic nerve scans), biometry and fundus examination. We also check intraocular pressure and assess the anterior segment of the eye under a slit lamp.<\/p>\n

Based on these results, your doctor determines whether the procedure is appropriate for you and which method is best suited to your individual eye profile.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Which refractive errors are suitable for laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Eligibility is determined by your assessment results, including corneal thickness and shape, prescription stability, tear film quality and retinal health. Approximate correction ranges are: Myopia up to -13 D<\/span>, hyperopia up to +6 D<\/span>, astigmatism <\/span>up to 5 <\/span>cyl<\/span>. The final method and suitability are confirmed by your ophthalmologist after a full diagnostic examination.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What if I am not eligible?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

In some cases, ineligibility is temporary \u2014 for example, if your prescription has not yet stabilised or if an underlying condition requires treatment first.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How much does the assessment cost?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

The qualification is a two-stage process and consists of a series of specialised diagnostic tests to determine whether there are any absolute contraindications to laser correction surgery. The price of the qualification is PLN 400.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Do I need to prepare for the assessment?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes \u2014 preparation is important for accurate measurements. Please stop wearing contact lenses before your appointment: soft lenses \u2014 at least 2 weeks before; toric soft lenses \u2014 at least 3 weeks before; rigid lenses \u2014 2 months before; Ortho-K lenses \u2014 3 months before.\nCome without eye make-up, and bring your glasses or most recent prescription, along with a list of any current medications. The examination takes approximately 90\u2013120 minutes. Please arrange a lift home, as you will not be able to drive for several hours after pupil dilation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Laser correction - surgery<\/h5>
\n \n

Can laser vision correction cause loss of vision?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

No. Laser vision correction does not cause loss of vision<\/span>. The procedure is carried out on the surface of the eye - the cornea<\/span> - and does not affect the optic nerve or the deeper structures of the eye. The key is a thorough assessmnent and ensuring the procedure is carried out in accordance with clinical guidelines.<\/span>Serious complications are extremely rare<\/span>, and the vast majority of patients undergo the procedure safely and without any lasting effects on eye health.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How soon will I see results?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n

\n \n

Can I blink during the procedure?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

You will not be able to blink, as a gentle eyelid speculum is placed to keep your eye open throughout. It sounds daunting, but thanks to the anaesthetic drops you will not feel a thing. The speculum is soft and causes no discomfort. Your eye is kept moist with drops throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What if I move my eye during the procedure?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

There is no need to worry. Our laser uses advanced eye-tracking technology that monitors your eye movements and automatically adjusts the position of the laser beam. If your eye moves beyond a safe range, the laser will pause or compensate automatically \u2014 ensuring precision throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Does the procedure hurt?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

No. The eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops, so you will not feel any pain. You may feel a slight pressure during the procedure, but this is not painful. Most patients describe it as a strange, mildly uncomfortable sensation. You may experience a gritty feeling in your eye for a few hours afterwards.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Laser correction - recovery<\/h5>
\n \n

When can I drive again?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

On the day of your procedure, you should not drive \u2014 due to the eye drops and fluctuations in vision. Many patients who have had a flap-based procedure \u2014 such as FemtoLASIK or iLASIK iDesign \u2014 are able to return to driving after 24\u201348 hours, provided their vision and comfort are sufficient. Always confirm with your doctor before getting behind the wheel.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What are the possible complications after laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Serious complications are rare but possible. More common temporary symptoms include: dry eye, halo effect, night glare, fluctuations in visual acuity and occasionally epithelial haze (temporary corneal cloudiness). Very rarely: corneal infection or ectasia. A thorough consultation and strict adherence to post-operative instructions are essential.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

When can I return to sport after laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Light activity is usually possible after 7 days, such as walking or cycling. More strenuous exercise typically requires a break of 2\u20134 weeks. Swimming, saunas and contact or extreme sports usually require a longer break \u2014 up to 2\u20133 months. Your doctor will advise you at your follow-up visit.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Do I need to take time off work after the procedure?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

It depends on the method and the nature of the work. After SMILE Pro \/ iLASIK iDesign \/ FemtoLASIK methods, 2-3 days off is usually sufficient; after PRK \/ EBK recovery is longer and L4 is sometimes needed for 7-14 days. For a few weeks it is advisable to limit intensive screen work and dust\/air conditioning, as advised by your doctor.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Dry eye disease<\/h5>
\n \n

How should I prepare for a dry eye assessment?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Bring a list of your current medications and eye drops, a brief description of your symptoms (when they occur and under what conditions) and your most recent glasses prescription. Do not wear contact lenses for 24 hours before your appointment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Does blepharitis contribute to dry eye disease?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes, blepharitis can contribute to dry eye disease. Inflammation disrupts the function of the meibomian glands, which produce the lipid layer of the tear film. When this layer is deficient, tears evaporate more quickly, leading to dry eye. Chronic inflammation can also damage the ocular surface, worsening symptoms such as burning, a gritty sensation and redness.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can eye make-up worsen dry eye disease?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

It can, if cosmetics reach the eyelid margins. We can show you how to care for your eyelid hygiene and which products to avoid. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

When will I notice an improvement?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

With a well-chosen treatment plan, most patients feel relief within 2\u20136 weeks. In-clinic treatments tend to work faster, but the results need to be maintained with a consistent home routine.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

For dry eye disease, are over-the-counter drops enough?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

They often only provide temporary relief. It is important to identify the type of dry eye (evaporative vs. aqueous-deficient) and treat the underlying cause. During your examination, we select the most appropriate drops for your individual needs. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can dry eye disease be cured permanently?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

It is a chronic condition. The aim is to manage symptoms and address the underlying cause \u2014 for example, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) \u2014 so that your eyes feel comfortable on a daily basis. Consistency is key to maintaining the results.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Astigmatism<\/h5>
\n \n

What are the first symptoms of astigmatism?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

The first symptoms include blurred and distorted vision, frequent squinting, rapid eye fatigue and headaches, particularly when reading or working up close.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Is astigmatism hereditary?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes, astigmatism often has a genetic basis. If the condition is present in the parents, the risk of it appearing in the child is higher.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can myopia and astigmatism occur at the same time?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes. This is a very common combination, referred to as myopic astigmatism. The image is then both blurred and distorted.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Does astigmatism get better on its own?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Astigmatism does not resolve on its own, as it is due to the anatomy of the eye. The refractive error may change with age, but permanent correction is only possible with appropriately selected treatment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Safety<\/h5>
\n \n

When should I contact the clinic urgently after the procedure?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

If there is increasing pain, marked deterioration of vision, severe redness, purulent discharge or photophobia inappropriate to the stage of healing - contact us immediately. In most cases, recovery is predictable, but safety requires a rapid response to unusual symptoms.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What are the possible complications after laser vision correction?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

The most common complaints are temporary: dry eye, light sensitivity (photophobia), fluctuations in visual acuity and night glare. Inflammation or infection are less common. We reduce the risk through the consultation, post-operative recommendations and regular follow-up visits.<\/p>\n

Serious complications following laser vision correction are rare.
\nData from large clinical analyses and scientific reviews indicate that, in correctly assessed patients, they occur in well below 1% of cases.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Is laser vision correction safe?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes \u2014 in correctly assessed patients, it is a procedure considered safe and performed routinely worldwide. The consultation, method selection, treatment standards and post-procedure follow-up are all crucial. Safety is the whole process, not just \"the laser alone\".<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Contact lens fitting<\/h5>
\n \n

From what age can a child wear lenses?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

There is no lower age limit \u2014 what matters is your child's maturity, motivation and willingness to cooperate with fitting and removal. If you are unsure whether your child is ready, book an appointment at our clinic and our team will help you assess the current options. Children of early school age often manage very well. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Do contact lenses damage your vision?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

No. Properly fitted and worn as prescribed, they do not impair vision. Problems such as redness or reduced visual acuity are usually due to prolonged wear, sleeping in lenses, poor hygiene or infrequent check-ups. If something concerns you \u2014 remove your lenses and contact us.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How should I care for my lenses?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Always wash and dry your hands, use fresh lens care solution (don't add extra), clean your lenses using the rub & rinse method, do not use tap water, change lens case every 1-3 months. If you experience pain, photophobia or purulent discharge - remove lenses and see your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How should I prepare for my lens fitting appointment?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Stop wearing soft lenses for at least 24 hours beforehand. For rigid (RGP) lenses, ideally stop 3\u20137 days before. Come with your glasses, without eye make-up and with a list of your current medications. If you have any symptoms of infection \u2014 such as pain or purulent discharge \u2014 postpone your appointment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

I have dry eyes - can I wear contact lenses?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes, but once the ocular surface has been stabilised and the material\/wearing mode selected. Sometimes we recommend one-day or tear film regeneration intervals (dry eye disease can worsen lens discomfort - we set the plan individually).\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How often should I come for a follow-up?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

After your first fitting, usually after 1\u20132 weeks, then every 6 months or more frequently if you are prone to dry eye or inflammation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can I swim or sleep in my contact lenses?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

We do not recommend swimming in contact lenses. If you absolutely must \u2014 use daily disposable lenses only and discard them immediately afterwards. Sleeping in lenses is only permitted if your doctor has specifically selected an extended wear mode and explicitly recommends it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Myopia<\/h5>
\n \n

What makes myopia worse?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Progression is favoured by prolonged close work, insufficient screen breaks, intensive use of screens and too little time spent in daylight.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Does laser myopia correction hurt?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

No. The procedure is performed under topical anaesthesia (anaesthetic eye drops) and any discomfort afterwards is temporary.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can myopia reverse itself?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

No. Myopia does not resolve on its own. However, its progression can be slowed \u2014 particularly in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Can myopia be corrected permanently?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

In suitable candidates, permanent correction of myopia through laser vision correction is possible. These procedures are not performed in children or when the refractive error is unstable.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Keratoconus<\/h5>
\n \n

Does atopic eyelid dermatitis contribute to the development of keratoconus?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Yes, atopic eyelid dermatitis can increase the risk of keratoconus. Frequent eye rubbing \u2014 associated with itching \u2014 weakens the structure of the cornea, which can lead to corneal thinning and deformation. Chronic inflammation and changes in tear film composition may also weaken corneal tissue. Patients with atopic dermatitis should avoid rubbing their eyes and have regular eye check-ups.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Does keratoconus lead to blindness?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Corneal cone (keratoconus) does not in itself lead to total blindness, but it can cause significant deterioration in visual acuity. In advanced cases of keratoconus, when the cornea becomes very thin and distorted, traditional methods of vision correction, such as glasses or contact lenses, may no longer be effective.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

How long does the cross-linking procedure take?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus usually takes approximately 60\u201390 minutes. The process involves applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops to the eye, followed by controlled UV light exposure to stimulate collagen bonding in the cornea \u2014 strengthening it and preventing further deformation. After the procedure, a therapeutic contact lens is placed on the eye to protect it and support healing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

What causes keratoconus?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

Keratoconus is a progressive condition involving thinning and protrusion of the cornea, which leads to irregular refraction and deterioration in vision quality. In advanced cases, if other treatments are unsuccessful, a corneal transplant may be required. Regular monitoring of the cornea by an ophthalmologist is essential.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n

\n \n

Will treatment stop keratoconus permanently?<\/h3>\n <\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\n

The aim of treatment is to halt or slow the progression of the condition. The outcome depends on the stage of the disease and individual factors.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
