Cataract surgery (both eyes) in NuVista Centrum Okulistyczne (Klinika NuVista)
About the clinic
Cataract surgery at NuVista Centrum Okulistyczne in Warsaw, Poland, provides a path to clear vision through advanced phacoemulsification techniques. The procedure for one eye typically runs between $800 and $2,400 depending on the specific lens chosen. Patients benefit from a medical team with over 10 years of experience and a track record of 20,000+ successful eye procedures.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic uses ultrasound phacoemulsification to remove the cloudy lens. This method requires only a tiny 2 mm incision that seals itself without stitches. The surgery is fast, usually taking 15 to 20 minutes per eye. Doctors use topical anesthesia in the form of eye drops to keep the patient comfortable. This approach removes the need for a hospital stay, allowing patients to return home the same day. The clinic uses ZEISS VisuMax and MEL 90 platforms along with AS-OCT MS-39 diagnostics to help achieve high precision during every step.
Intraocular Lens Options
NuVista offers a wide variety of lenses to meet different vision needs and budgets. The cost depends on the lens type you select for your procedure:
- Standard monofocal spherical lens may cost around $800.
- Aspherical monofocal lens typically runs $1,300.
- Monofocal plus aspherical lens costs around $1,500.
- EDoF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens is around $2,000.
- Multifocal lens may cost around $2,100.
- Multifocal toric lens, which corrects astigmatism, runs around $2,400.
Expert Ophthalmology Team
Dr. Łukasz Kołodziejski leads the surgical team as an ophthalmologist and refractive surgeon. He previously served as the deputy head of the CMKP Ophthalmology Clinic. Dr. Łukasz Kołodziejski holds memberships in the Polish Ophthalmological Society and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. He has completed specialized training in India, Zurich, and Lugano. The team also includes Dr. Aleksandra Opala, a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology who earned her PhD in 2023. Both doctors are active members of international medical societies.
Recovery and Results
Patients often notice vision improvements within just a few hours after the procedure. Before the surgery, the team performs a visual acuity test, pressure measurements, and biometry to calculate the correct lens power. After the operation, patients use anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops to help healing. Full vision stabilization usually occurs within a few weeks. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and eye rubbing for about one week. Follow-up visits are scheduled for the day after surgery, one week later, and at the one-month mark.

NuVista Centrum Okulistyczne (Klinika NuVista): more details about the clinic
NuVista Centrum Okulistyczne is a specialized ophthalmology clinic in Warsaw's Ursynów district. The facility focuses on refractive surgery and medical eye care. Dr. Łukasz Kołodziejski and Dr. Aleksandra Opala lead the medical team. Both bring over 12 years of experience.
Clinical Achievements and Standards
The clinic's specialists have performed over 20,000 eye procedures throughout their careers. Dr. Aleksandra Opala holds the title of Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO). This certification confirms she meets high European standards for ophthalmic practice.
Patient safety relies on structured care and continuous monitoring. Surgeons use systems that track eye position in real time during laser procedures. Every treatment plan is tailored to pre-operative testing and unique eye anatomy.
Refractive Surgery and Laser Vision Correction
The clinic treats myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using various laser platforms. Vision often clears within 24 hours after deep tissue laser procedures. The surgical team performs several correction methods:
- SMILE – a minimally invasive flapless technique
- FemtoLASIK – uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap
- PRK and EBK – surface-based methods for specific corneal types
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) – replaces the natural lens with an implant
Patients over 50 who don't qualify for laser treatment can consider RLE instead. The clinic uses toric intraocular lenses during these procedures to correct astigmatism.
Cataract Treatment and Lens Replacement
Cataract surgery at NuVista uses ultrasound phacoemulsification to remove the cloudy lens. The procedure takes 15–20 minutes under local topical anesthesia. Specialists adapt the technique based on disease progression.
Diagnostics for cataract patients involve several steps to ensure accurate lens selection:
- Visual acuity assessment and intraocular pressure measurement
- Fundoscopy to examine the back of the eye
- Biometry to calculate the required power of the artificial lens
- Implantation of aspheric monofocal or toric intraocular lenses
Vision may improve within a few hours after surgery. Full stabilization typically occurs within a few weeks.
Advanced Care for Keratoconus and Glaucoma
The clinic treats progressive keratoconus with corneal cross-linking (CXL). This procedure uses riboflavin and UV-A light to strengthen the cornea. Clinic data shows CXL stops disease progression in over 90% of cases.
For patients at risk of glaucoma, the clinic provides targeted laser therapies. These include laser iridotomy for narrow-angle or angle-closure glaucoma. Specialists also perform retinal photocoagulation to stabilize chronic retinal conditions.
Technology and Diagnostics
NuVista uses the ZEISS VisuMax + MEL 90 laser system. This platform combines femtosecond and excimer technologies for precise corneal reshaping. The center also has the AS-OCT MS-39 for high-resolution imaging of the front of the eye.
Diagnostic tools include corneal tomography and pachymetry to assess corneal thickness. The team uses these to identify ectasia risk before any surgical intervention. Aberrometry and corneal biomechanics evaluation are available for complex cases.
Services for International Patients
NuVista offers a dedicated pathway for patients traveling from abroad. A Patient Care Coordinator guides individuals from initial consultation through follow-up. The clinic supports patients in both English and Polish.
Standard follow-up includes multiple visits to ensure proper healing. For major procedures, visits are scheduled for the next day, one week, and one month after surgery. These sessions let physicians monitor stabilization and adjust medication as needed.
