In October 2019, I underwent laser vision correction at the MAVIT Medical Centre. I remember hesitating to make this decision due to work, holidays and all sorts of other commitments. Now I know that it was a mistake!

It turned out that the laser correction wasn’t nearly as big of a challenge as I had imagined – the procedure lasted just a few seconds and it took me maybe three days to recover.

Today, after all these years, my eyesight no longer limits me. I can swim, run and ski without worrying about foggy lenses or a supply of lens solution. The amazing Doctor Joanna Wojtyła has made my dream come true. In addition, the entire staff took care of me and ensured that I felt comfortable and relaxed. Therefore, I highly recommend both laser vision correction as well as the MAVIT Medical Centre!

I’ve always been aware that a vision defect certainly does not make life any easier. However, the pandemic made me fully realise how much poor eyesight actually affected my daily comfort – opting for glasses that fog up because of the mask or risking complications due to the use of contact lenses was no choice at all.

That’s why I decided to undergo laser vision correction. With the help of Doctor Joanna Wojtyła, I selected a procedure with the shortest possible recovery time, designed for physically active people.

Just 2 weeks after the procedure, I started preparing for the new season – now I will be able to entirely focus on the game at hand.

I want to thank the MAVIT Medical Centre for the professional care!

The laser correction carried out at the MAVIT Medical Centre has allowed me to once again live without limitations. Trusting CM MAVIT and Doctor Joanna Wojtyła has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.

Thanks to the doctor’s experience and knowledge, combined with state-of-the-art equipment and techniques used at the clinic, the procedure was performed quickly and without any problems. I don’t know why it took me so long to decide to undergo this treatment. As a client, I was also very satisfied with the friendliness of the entire staff and their willingness to help patients. The Centre guarantees care and professionalism at every level of service. I highly recommend CM MAVIT to everyone. PS. Don’t wait as long as I did!

For an actor, the eyes are extremely important because they reflect the emotions of the portrayed characters. Laser vision correction has provided me with something I greatly value – a feeling of freedom.

The procedure makes it possible to say goodbye to lenses and glasses for good, which is a major relief. I am deeply impressed by both the modern technology used by the specialists at the MAVIT Medical Centre as well as their professionalism. What is more, Doctor Joanna Wojtyła was able to perform the procedure in a pleasant atmosphere, which is very important to me as a patient.

I can confidently say that undergoing laser vision correction was one of the best decisions of my life. The effects of the treatment include not only good eyesight but also a burst of positive energy to take on new challenges.

I made an appointment at the MAVIT Medical Centre based on the enthusiastic opinions of my colleagues who had previously undergone laser vision correction.

At some point, my eyesight also started to deteriorate. Wearing glasses on film sets is out of the question, while using lenses during scenes shot in water or dust is simply dangerous for the eyes.

Together with Doctor Joanna Wojtyła, we decided that I should opt for a procedure that would not only cure my slight myopia, but also solve the recently observed problem with seeing clearly at close distances. Today, I can confidently say that placing my trust in Doctor Wojtyła was an excellent decision.

I can recommend the MAVIT Medical Centre to anyone who suffers from a visual impairment!

Full qualification for the Presbyond laser vision correction procedure

The MAVIT Medical Centre in Warsaw is one of the few facilities in Poland where the specialists have started using a device that enables both accurate visualisation and assessment of biomechanical properties of the cornea as well as non-contact measurement of intraocular pressure. In addition, we make sure that all patients over 42 years of age undergo an OCT scan, so that we can check whether a given person suffers from retinal degeneration and thus guarantee that the qualification for vision correction is as safe as possible.

Tests and examinations performed as part of the qualification visit:

  1. Computer-assisted eye examination using an autorefractor
  2. Assessment of distance and near visual acuity (with and without correction)
  3. Non-contact measurement of intraocular pressure
  4. Corneal topography
  5. Assessment of the anterior and posterior surface of the cornea
  6. Corneal biomechanics
  7. Wavefront – aberration measurement
  8. AOS – a refraction test using a phoropter
  9. Slit-lamp examination of the anterior segment of the eye
  10. IOL – optical biometry
  11. Examination of endothelial cells
  12. Schirmer’s test
  13. Computer-assisted cycloplegic refraction
  14. Repeated non-contact measurement of intraocular pressure
  15. Pachymetry – measurement of corneal thickness
  16. Dilated fundus examination using a threemirror lens
  17. OCT – measurement of the corneal epithelial thickness
  18. Len/refraction test – in justified cases

Get to know the most common questions and answers regarding laser vision correction!

A procedure is only carried out if the defect has not changed for at least a year before the planned surgery. Operating on a stable defect guarantees that it will not return after the surgery.

Lasers used for vision correction do not penetrate deep into the tissues of the eye; they have a very limited and tightly controlled range of action. Unfortunately, as with any surgery, intra- and post-operative complications can occur. The overall risk is 1-2% (ranging from mild to rare significant deterioration of vision).
The risk of such complications decreases with careful qualification, operator experience and proper postoperative management.

The result and the possibilities of correction depend on the preliminary examinations carried out, the age, and the needs of the patient. Satisfactory results can be achieved with the above defect if a compromise solution is used for near and far vision.

An unsuccessful refractive lens exchange requires an individual approach.
It may be necessary to replace the lens with another one.

Laser vision correction does not cure ametropia.

The floaters effect is not related to laser vision correction, but to changes in the vitreous body.

Depending on the type and fit, contact lenses can deform the cornea and alter refractive results. So it is recommended that contact lens wear be discontinued a few to several days prior to corneal imaging.

That’s true. We change the refraction on the cornea; we do not reshape the whole eyeball. The inside of the eye remains the same, so if the condition of the eye’s fundus is the reason for restrictions in playing sports, these restrictions will remain regardless of the type of correction performed.

No, eye drops are used for a certain period of time after surgery, depending on the type of surgery.

In most cases, the procedure is performed once in a lifetime and the effect is permanent. However, the treatment does not prevent other eye diseases.

The procedure is painless – the patient is anaesthetised locally using eye drops. What is more, the latest methods of laser vision correction ensure that the patient begins to feel comfortable already within 5-6 hours after the procedure.

For vision correction, patients are anaesthetised using eye drops – general anaesthesia is not required for this type of procedure.

After vision correction, patients can become pregnant and give birth naturally without any problems (provided there are no other contraindications).

Yes, both surface-based laser vision correction procedures (such as EBK and PRK) as well as the state-of-the-art Smile procedure are intended for those involved in competitive and contact sports.

Usually, vision correction is performed on both eyes during a single procedure – the eyes are treated one after the other.

Laser vision correction is considered one of the safest medical procedures. Side effects are usually temporary and the complication rate is around 1%.
