[Start eligibility check →](#hero-quiz) Why Turkey for eye surgery ## Why Is Turkey One of the World's Leading Destinations for Eye Surgery? ### Quick facts - **Cost:** 70% more affordable than UK/EU private clinics. - **Technology:** JCI-accredited clinics using Zeiss and Alcon lasers. - **Time:** 3–5 days stay in Istanbul. - **Aftercare:** 3 months of remote video consultations included. Every year, more than 800,000 patients travel to Turkey for medical treatment — a significant proportion of them for ophthalmology procedures including **LASIK surgery in Turkey**, **cataract surgery in Turkey**, **lens replacement surgery in Turkey**, and **retinal treatment in Istanbul**. This isn't a trend driven by cost alone. Turkey has built a genuine centre of excellence in eye care, with internationally trained surgeons, modern technology, and accreditation standards that meet or exceed those found in Western Europe. 70% Typical saving vs. UK prices for LASIK 800k+ Medical tourists treated in Turkey annually 57 JCI-accredited eye hospital in Turkey ### Cost: the same procedure, a fraction of the price **LASIK eye surgery in Turkey** and **cataract surgery in Turkey** typically cost significantly less than equivalent private treatment in the United Kingdom and Western Europe — often with all-inclusive packages covering hotel, transfers, and aftercare. These savings are structural — the result of lower operating costs, lower insurance premiums, and a competitive ophthalmology market — not a reduction in surgical quality or technology. For patients facing NHS waiting lists of 12–18 months for cataract surgery, the combination of cost saving and speed of access is compelling. Many iSee Turkey patients travel to Istanbul, have their procedure, and return home seeing clearly — all within a week. [Request a free personalised quote](#hero-quiz) to see what applies to your eyes. ### Surgeon quality: European training, Istanbul practice Turkey's leading ophthalmologists complete their specialist training in Turkey's top universities and frequently undertake fellowship training in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the United States. Many publish in peer-reviewed international journals. The surgeons at our eye centre have collectively performed tens of thousands of LASIK procedures and carry complication rates that match the published benchmarks of major European centres. English is widely spoken among Istanbul's medical elite. At our eye centre, English is the working language of the international patient team — consultations, consent forms, and aftercare notes are all provided in English as standard. ### Technology and accreditation: no compromises The technology used for **laser eye surgery in Turkey** is identical to that used in UK and German clinics. Our eye centre operates the same platforms trusted across Europe: - Zeiss MEL90 - WaveLight EX500 - VISX Wavefront-guided and topography-guided treatments — the most precise forms of LASIK — are standard options. For cataract patients, premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) including trifocals and extended-depth-of-focus lenses are available at a fraction of UK additional charges. Our Istanbul eye centres hold **JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation** — the internationally recognised gold standard for hospital quality and safety. JCI accreditation requires hospitals to meet rigorous standards across clinical care, patient safety, infection control, and documentation. Fewer than 7% of hospitals worldwide hold JCI accreditation. ### Istanbul: a destination worth the journey Most eye surgery procedures require only 3–5 nights in Istanbul. Many LASIK patients arrive on a Sunday, have their procedure on Monday, pass their post-op check on Tuesday morning, and fly home the same afternoon. Rather than seeing the trip as an inconvenience, most iSee Turkey patients describe Istanbul as an unexpected pleasure — a city of world-class food, architecture, and hospitality that makes recovery genuinely enjoyable. ### Is eye surgery in Turkey safe? The honest answer is: at JCI-accredited eye hospital, with experienced fellowship-trained surgeons, and with a coordination service that manages every detail — yes. The risks of LASIK and cataract surgery in Turkey at our partner facilities are not meaningfully higher than those at equivalent UK or German private hospitals. The key variables are surgeon experience, clinic accreditation, pre-operative assessment quality, and post-operative follow-up. iSee Turkey specifically selects partners on these criteria, and rejects clinics that cannot meet our standards — regardless of price. #### Popular searches LASIK Turkey Cataract Surgery Turkey Lens Replacement Turkey Eye Surgery Istanbul ICL Turkey Laser Eye Turkey Retinal Surgery Istanbul Medical Tourism Turkey Most asked before booking ## Answers to help you decide with confidence. 17 questions across 6 topics — answered by our clinical patient care team. ### LASIK Eye Surgery in Turkey LASIK is suitable for most adults with stable glasses or contact lens prescriptions. The key requirements are: stable prescription for at least 12 months, corneal thickness above a minimum threshold (measured during your pre-op assessment), no significant dry eye disease, and no corneal conditions such as keratoconus. Most patients over 18 and under 55 are good candidates. We assess suitability as part of your free consultation — we'll tell you honestly if LASIK is not the right procedure for your eyes. The LASIK procedure itself takes approximately 10–15 minutes per eye. You will be at the clinic for 2–3 hours in total, including preparation, the procedure, and an initial post-operative assessment. Most patients are back at their hotel by early afternoon on procedure day. The procedure itself is not painful — anaesthetic eye drops are applied before surgery, which completely numb the surface of the eye. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure during the creation of the corneal flap. In the hours after surgery, some patients experience mild discomfort, watering, and light sensitivity, which typically resolves within 12–24 hours. Your post-op drops and rest are the main ingredients of recovery. Most patients are cleared to fly 24–48 hours after LASIK. If you have your procedure on Monday, you can typically fly home on Tuesday afternoon after your morning post-op check. We schedule your package around this timeline so you spend the minimum necessary time in Istanbul — although many patients choose to stay a day or two longer to enjoy the city. LASIK is one of the most widely performed and extensively studied elective procedures in the world. At experienced, well-equipped centres, the risk of significant complication is very low (under 1%). The most common side effects — dry eye, halos, and glare — are usually temporary and resolve within weeks to months. Serious complications such as infection or significant under/overcorrection are rare. Our clinical governance team only works with surgeons whose complication rates meet international benchmark standards. 94% of patients at our eye centre achieve 20/20 vision or better after LASIK. The vast majority of the remainder achieve functional vision without glasses, though they may retain a small residual prescription. Your surgeon will give you a realistic expectation based on your specific measurements during the pre-op consultation. ### Cataract Surgery in Turkey Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic drops, typically takes 30–45 minutes per eye, and requires no general anaesthetic or overnight stay in hospital. Vision typically improves within 24 hours of surgery. We offer three main categories: monofocal IOLs (excellent distance vision, reading glasses still needed), multifocal IOLs (designed for distance, intermediate, and near vision), and trifocal or extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses (the most advanced option, providing a full range of vision with minimal glare). Premium lenses cost more but are still significantly cheaper in Istanbul than in the UK. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate lens for your lifestyle and visual needs. ### Cost & Value The price difference is structural, not a reflection of quality. Operating costs in Turkey — staff salaries, clinic overheads, malpractice insurance, and facility costs — are significantly lower than in Western Europe, even at the highest-standard JCI-accredited eye hospital. The surgical equipment and techniques are identical. Think of it the same way you might think of a five-star hotel in Istanbul versus the same hotel brand in London: the experience is comparable, but the local cost base is fundamentally different. No. Your iSee Turkey quote includes the procedure, hotel, all transfers, patient care services, medication, and 3 months of video aftercare. The only costs you bear separately are your flights and personal spending in Istanbul. We are very clear about this: the quote we send is the price you pay to us. We do not add charges upon arrival, at the clinic, or at checkout. Yes — subject to your pre-operative assessment confirming that the planned procedure is appropriate. In rare cases where pre-op measurements indicate that a different or more complex procedure is needed, your surgeon will discuss this with you before proceeding and we will advise on any pricing implications before anything takes place. You are always in control of the decision. ### Travelling to Istanbul UK citizens can visit Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days. EU citizens from most member states also benefit from visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangements. Citizens of other countries should check the current visa requirements via their government's official travel advisory. We can advise on documentation requirements for your specific nationality. Your iSee Turkey package includes a private transfer from the airport directly to your hotel. Your patient care team will meet you at arrivals with a name card. All you need to do is land — we handle everything from that point. ### Safety & Standards JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation is the international gold standard for hospital quality and safety. It requires hospitals to meet rigorous, independently audited standards across clinical care, patient rights, infection control, medication safety, and facility management. JCI-accredited eye hospital are re-evaluated every three years. Fewer than 7% of hospitals worldwide hold JCI accreditation. We only refer patients to JCI-accredited facilities. Yes. Our eye centre uses the same manufacturer platforms as leading UK eye centres: Zeiss, Alcon, and VISX laser systems for refractive surgery; Alcon and Johnson & Johnson phacoemulsification systems for cataract surgery. The disposables, IOL brands, and pharmaceutical products are identical. There is no "budget" version of the technology — the savings come from operating costs, not equipment. ### Recovery & Aftercare Your aftercare programme includes video consultations with your Istanbul surgeon at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-surgery. Your International Patient Centre team schedules these appointments and assists with any translation needed. We also provide a WhatsApp support line for questions between appointments, and can connect you with a UK optician or ophthalmologist if in-person assessment is advisable. Most patients with desk-based or office jobs return to work 1–2 days after LASIK. Screen use is fine from the day after surgery, though you may experience mild light sensitivity or blurring for a day or two. Physically demanding work or work in dusty environments should be avoided for 1–2 weeks. Your surgeon will give specific guidance at your post-op check. Topics Still deciding?
