Prices are copied as published, in the provider's currency. Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rates of 23 October 2026 and are rounded. A provider can change a price at any time: ask for a written quote.
Before you book. Cataract price is for premium lenses only; no basic monofocal price shown, so it is not directly comparable with a monofocal price. The page shows approximate euro amounts (e.g. FemtoLASIK about 2,560 EUR at roughly 4.30 zl); the provider says billing is always in zloty. We did not use the euro figures. Provider says travelling abroad for surgery is not the right choice for some patients (page has a section on this); a repeat treatment after the first year means another trip.
