BIA indicates the possibility of introducing surcharge for the use of hydrophobic lenses, which could increase the frequency of their use and reduce the number of complications after cataract surgery. It was estimated that total NHF expenses reach the minimum value for the surcharge at the level of 9 EUR. The surcharge of 14 EUR is the maximum value that does not increase the initial NHF expenses.
