Centrum Mikrochirurgii Oka Laser

What Centrum Mikrochirurgii Oka Laser does

Centrum Mikrochirurgii Oka Laser (CMO Laser), also operating as Klinika prof. Jerzego Szaflika, is a private ophthalmology clinic founded in 1996 in Warsaw by Prof. Jerzy Szaflik — a recognised authority in Polish ophthalmology and founder of the Warsaw School of Ophthalmology. The clinic is described as Poland's largest non-public ophthalmology centre and operates from a main Warsaw headquarters (ul. Dolańskiego 2) housing three operating theatres and seventeen consultation rooms, plus a branch in Siedlce. It offers a comprehensive portfolio of services organised around three pillars: laser vision correction (SMILE/SMILE PRO using ZEISS VISUMAX 800, LASEK, EBK, FEMTOLASIK, PRESBYOND), microsurgery (cataract with premium IOL implantation, glaucoma, phakic lens, vitrectomy), and oculoplastic/orbital surgery, alongside AMD, keratoconus, dry eye, retinal disease, strabismus, and paediatric ophthalmology programmes. Diagnostics are supported by OCT, OCT angiography, fluorescein/indocyanine angiography, GALILEI corneal topography, LENSTAR biometry, and visual field testing.\n\nThe clinic employs 51–100 staff, including 46 medical doctors (4 full professors, 5 doctors with habilitation, 15 PhDs, and 22 ophthalmology specialists), and holds ISO 9001 certification. CMO Laser is credited as the first private centre in Poland to offer laser vision correction (1996) and, in 2025/2026, the first private Polish clinic to offer SMILE PRO for hyperopia correction. It claims to have performed over 40,000 procedures across nearly three decades of operation.\n\nCommercially, the business runs a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model. Patients access care through phone, email, online electronic registration, or in-clinic visits. Pricing is unit-based and disclosed in PLN, with laser correction procedures ranging from approximately 3,450 PLN (LASEK) to 13,900 PLN (PRESBYOND both eyes), cataract surgery from 4,460–12,560 PLN depending on implant choice, and glaucoma surgery from 4,500–11,600 PLN. Consultations range from 180 PLN (specialist) to over 500 PLN (professor), and diagnostics from 50 PLN (visual field) to 360 PLN (fluorescein angiography). No third-party payer contracts, enterprise clients, or external investors are disclosed; ownership and control appear to rest with the Szaflik family.

Direct peers

• Optical Express: UK's largest provider of laser eye surgery and lens replacement with 100+ clinics across UK, Ireland and Germany. Directly comparable as Europe's largest private refractive and cataract surgery chain with similar premium service portfolio and cash-pay model to CMO Laser's.
• LASIK MD: Canada's largest provider of laser eye surgery with 30+ clinics. Directly comparable as a chain focused on refractive surgery at scale, with similar premium technology positioning and direct-to-consumer acquisition model.
• Optegra: UK private eye hospital chain with seven dedicated hospitals offering laser eye surgery, cataract and lens procedures. Comparable as a multi-site private ophthalmology network with similar surgical focus, premium positioning and SMILE/LASIK service mix.
• TLC Laser Eye Centres: North American laser eye surgery chain operating 50+ clinics across Canada and the US. Comparable as one of the largest dedicated refractive surgery chains in North America with similar service mix and clinical positioning.

Broad incumbents

• LUX MED: Poland's largest private healthcare chain with broad services including ophthalmology, operating across multiple cities. Comparable as a major Polish private healthcare provider with overlapping ophthalmology services, but operating as a multi-specialty incumbent rather than a focused eye clinic.
• Medicover: Polish/Swedish private healthcare chain with ophthalmology offerings as part of a multi-specialty network. Comparable as a large private healthcare network active in the Polish market, but services span many specialties rather than focusing on ophthalmology.

Others

• Carl Zeiss Meditec: German medical technology company supplying the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser platform that CMO Laser uses for SMILE PRO. Comparable as critical equipment supplier enabling CMO's premium refractive offering rather than as a direct competitor.

Regional players

• Lexum: Czech Republic ophthalmology clinic chain offering cataract, refractive and other eye surgery services across multiple cities. Comparable as a Central European private eye clinic chain with similar services, but operating in the Czech rather than Polish market.
