Von großer Angst zu neuer Lebensfreude.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for International Patients

Have questions before booking your journey? We have compiled the most important details for you.

Why travel to Istanbul for eye surgery?

Istanbul has emerged as a premier European medical center for ophthalmology. Our partner clinic, Medicana Ataköy Hospital, is JCI-accredited and equipped with latest German technology like the ZEISS VisuMax 800 and Heidelberg ANTERION. You receive surgical treatment by renowned university professors with over 20–25 years of specialized experience, at 60–70% lower cost than UK Harley Street or private US clinics.

What is included in the all-inclusive eye surgery package?

Our packages are completely transparent with zero hidden fees. They include: all comprehensive pre-operative biometric diagnostics, your laser or lens surgery on both eyes, all medications and protective sunglasses, 3 nights accommodation at our partner 4–5-star hotel (Novotel Istanbul), personal airport welcome and clinic accompaniment by Cem or Emre, and dedicated 1-on-1 English-speaking care.

Is laser eye surgery or lens replacement painful?

No. Before the procedure begins, highly effective anesthetic numbing eye drops are administered. You will feel no sharp pain during the surgery. With ReLEx SMILE Pro, the laser stage takes just 8–10 seconds per eye without creating a corneal flap. Lens replacement takes approximately 15 minutes per eye under local topical drops.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

For laser eye surgery (ReLEx SMILE Pro or Femto-LASIK), a 3-night stay is recommended. For Trifocal Lens Replacement or Cataract surgery, a 4-day (3-night) stay allows surgery on eye 1, check-up and surgery on eye 2 the next morning, followed by a final assessment before flying home.

What happens regarding aftercare once I return home to the UK or abroad?

You will be provided with a complete set of post-operative antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops along with a personalized recovery schedule. In addition, you receive an official lens implant passport documenting your artificial lens model and serial numbers. Our medical team in Istanbul and liaison in Germany remain available 24/7 via WhatsApp and telephone. We can also coordinate with your local optometrist for your routine 1-month and 6-month check-ups.
