Achieve 20/20 vision in minutes with the top rated Laser eye surgery turkey clinic in Istanbul. World-class surgeons, FDA-approved Wavelight EX500 laser technology, and all-inclusive packages — saving you up to 80% compared to UK & US prices.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the world's most popular vision correction procedure — and Turkey has become one of the top destinations for patients seeking safe, affordable, and advanced laser eye surgery.
LASIK laser eye surgery corrects common vision problems — myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism — by permanently reshaping the cornea using an ultra-precise excimer laser. The goal is simple: to allow light to focus correctly on the retina, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
At our JCI-accredited clinic in Istanbul, we perform 100% bladeless femtosecond LASIK using the Wavelight EX500 — the world's fastest excimer laser operating at 500 pulses per second. This cutting-edge technology delivers unmatched precision, faster treatment times, and significantly improved outcomes compared to older laser systems.
Why choose laser eye surgery in Turkey? Patients from the UK, Europe, and the Middle East travel to Istanbul for LASIK because they receive the same — or better — technology and surgeon expertise as they would at home, at a fraction of the cost. Our all-inclusive packages typically save patients 60–80% compared to equivalent procedures in London, Berlin, or New York.
The entire LASIK procedure takes approximately 15 minutes for both eyes and is virtually painless thanks to numbing eye drops. Most patients experience dramatically improved vision within hours and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. It's this combination of speed, safety, and effectiveness that makes laser eye surgery in Turkey one of the most sought-after medical tourism procedures worldwide.
Our surgeons have each performed over 15,000 successful LASIK procedures, using wavefront-guided technology to create a customized treatment map unique to each patient's eye. This personalized approach delivers outcomes that consistently exceed industry benchmarks, with 98.5% of our patients achieving 20/20 vision or better.
LASIK is suitable for most adults with stable vision prescriptions. During your free online consultation, our ophthalmologist will assess your eligibility based on several key criteria:
Your eyes are numbed with topical anesthetic drops. You'll feel no pain — just slight pressure. A gentle device holds your eyelids open comfortably.
2 MinutesThe femtosecond laser creates an ultra-thin, precise corneal flap — completely bladeless. This flap is gently lifted to expose the corneal tissue beneath.
BladelessThe Wavelight EX500 excimer laser precisely reshapes your cornea using your personalized wavefront map. Treatment takes just 2–4 seconds per diopter.
30–60 SecondsThe corneal flap is carefully repositioned. It naturally adheres within minutes — no stitches or sutures needed. The cornea begins healing immediately.
No StitchesRest for a few hours with protective eye shields. Most patients notice significantly improved vision the same evening, with full clarity by the next morning.
20/20 VisionSee exactly what you'll pay — no hidden fees, no surprises. Our all-inclusive LASIK packages save you up to 80% compared to the UK, USA, and Europe, with the same world-class technology and surgeon expertise.
That's €1,500 for both eyes including surgery, pre-op diagnostics, medications, 2-night hotel stay, VIP airport transfer, personal coordinator, and lifetime aftercare. No hidden costs — guaranteed.

Best decision I ever made. I woke up the morning after surgery and could read the clock across the room — something I haven't done without glasses in 20 years. The entire experience from airport pickup to the follow-up was seamless. I saved over £3,000 compared to London prices and got better care than I could have imagined.
I was nervous about having LASIK abroad, but this clinic put all my fears to rest. The facility was spotless, the technology was cutting-edge, and the surgeon explained everything step by step. My coordinator Fatma was incredible — she arranged everything from the hotel to my follow-up. I can't believe how affordable it was.
As a nurse, I was very particular about hygiene and safety standards. This clinic exceeded my expectations — JCI-accredited, sterile environment, and the Wavelight EX500 laser is the same one used at Germany's top clinics. The only difference? I paid 75% less. Vision is perfect at 20/15!
Third time visiting Istanbul for medical treatment and each time I'm impressed. The LASIK procedure took 12 minutes total and I was seeing clearly by dinner that evening. My patient coordinator spoke Arabic which made everything so easy. Highly recommend to anyone from the Gulf region.
Even including my flights from NYC, I saved over $4,000 compared to Manhattan prices. And I got to explore Istanbul for two extra days! The clinic felt like a 5-star hotel. My prescription was -6.50 and I now have perfect 20/20 vision. It's genuinely life-changing.
My friend had LASIK here last year and recommended it. I'm so glad I listened! Everything was organized perfectly — pickup from Sabiha Gökçen, beautiful hotel near the clinic, and the surgery was over before I knew it. 4 weeks post-op and my vision is sharper than ever. Already recommended to two colleagues.

Everything you need to know about laser eye surgery in Turkey — from safety and costs to recovery and results. If your question isn't listed, our team is a message away.
Absolutely. Laser eye surgery in Turkey meets the same international safety standards as the UK, USA, and Europe. Our clinic is JCI-accredited — the highest international certification for healthcare quality — and we use FDA-approved Wavelight EX500 excimer laser technology, the same machines found in top clinics worldwide.
Our surgeons are board-certified ophthalmologists with over 20 years of experience and more than 15,000 successful LASIK procedures each. Turkey has become one of the world's leading medical tourism destinations specifically because it offers world-class care at significantly lower costs.
LASIK laser eye surgery in Turkey starts from €750 per eye with our all-inclusive packages. That means you pay €1,500 for both eyes — including the surgery, comprehensive eye examination, post-op medications, 2-night 4-star hotel stay, VIP airport transfers, a personal patient coordinator, and lifetime aftercare.
For comparison, the same procedure costs €2,800–€3,500 per eye in the UK and €3,500–€4,200 per eye in the USA. Our patients typically save 60–80% while receiving the exact same technology and quality of care. The price difference is driven by Turkey's lower operational costs, not lower quality.
LASIK is virtually painless. Before the procedure, we apply numbing eye drops that completely eliminate any pain sensation. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure on the eye during the corneal flap creation, which lasts just a few seconds.
The actual laser treatment takes only 30–60 seconds per eye, during which you simply look at a green light. After surgery, you may experience mild watering, light sensitivity, and a gritty feeling for 4–6 hours — this is completely normal and resolves quickly. Not suitable for LASIK? You may be a candidate for ICL implantable lenses instead.
We use the Wavelight EX500 excimer laser — the world's fastest FDA-approved excimer laser at 500 pulses per second. For corneal flap creation, we use the Femto LDV Z8 femtosecond laser for 100% bladeless precision.
Our procedures also include wavefront-guided technology, which maps the unique imperfections of your eye to create a completely personalized treatment plan. This delivers sharper results than standard LASIK and significantly reduces the risk of halos and glare.
We recommend a minimum 3-day stay in Istanbul:
Day 1: Arrive in Istanbul. Comprehensive eye examination and diagnostic tests (2–3 hours at the clinic). Rest and enjoy the city.
Day 2: LASIK procedure day. The surgery itself takes ~15 minutes. Rest at your hotel with protective shields.
Day 3: Morning follow-up check at the clinic. If everything looks perfect (it usually does), you're cleared to fly home.
Many patients choose to extend their stay by a day or two to explore Istanbul — we're happy to help with sightseeing recommendations!
Yes — you can safely fly 24–48 hours after LASIK. Cabin pressure has no effect on your corneal flap or healing process. We recommend using lubricating eye drops during the flight since aircraft cabin air is typically very dry.
We'll provide you with a complete travel kit including eye drops, protective sunglasses, and a detailed aftercare guide for your journey home. You'll also have direct access to your surgeon via WhatsApp for any questions during your trip.
Vision improvement is remarkably fast. Most patients notice dramatically clearer vision within 4–6 hours of surgery. By the next morning, many are already at or near 20/20 vision.
Your vision will continue to sharpen and stabilize over the following 1–3 months as your cornea fully heals. Final results — your best possible vision — are typically achieved within 3 months. 98.5% of our patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.
LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures in medicine with an excellent safety record. Common temporary side effects include dry eyes, mild halos or glare around lights at night, and light sensitivity — these typically resolve within 1–3 months.
Serious complications are extremely rare (less than 1% of cases) and are further minimized by our advanced wavefront-guided technology, which creates a highly customized treatment.
Our thorough pre-operative assessment also identifies patients who may be better suited for alternative procedures like PRK or ICL implantable lenses.
The lower cost of laser eye surgery in Turkey is not a reflection of lower quality — it's driven by economics. Turkey has significantly lower operating costs (rent, labor, insurance) compared to the UK, USA, and Western Europe, while using the exact same laser technology, surgical techniques, and safety standards.
Additionally, Turkey's government actively supports medical tourism, and high patient volumes allow clinics to offer competitive pricing. When you visit our JCI-accredited facility, you'll see the same Wavelight EX500 lasers, the same sterilization standards, and equally qualified surgeons — at a fraction of the price.
We provide lifetime aftercare support for all our LASIK patients. After your initial post-op check in Istanbul, we recommend follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. These can be done with a local optometrist in your home country — we'll provide a detailed report and aftercare protocol to share with them.
You'll also have direct WhatsApp access to your surgeon for any questions or concerns. If you ever need a touch-up or enhancement procedure, it's covered under our lifetime warranty at no additional cost. We also partner with optometrists across the UK and Europe who can conduct your follow-up appointments locally.
LASIK is suitable for adults aged 18 and above with a stable prescription. There is no strict upper age limit — we regularly treat patients in their 40s and 50s successfully. However, patients over 40 may benefit more from Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) or cataract surgery depending on their eye health.
The best way to determine your eligibility is through our free online consultation — simply share your prescription and age, and our specialist will recommend the ideal procedure for your specific situation. View all our eye surgery procedures →
We accept multiple payment methods including credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank transfers in EUR, GBP, or USD, and cash payment at the clinic. A deposit secures your booking, with the remainder due before the procedure.
While we don't offer direct financing, our prices are already 60–80% lower than UK/US costs — making LASIK in Turkey accessible to most budgets. Many of our patients find it's cheaper than their annual contact lens expenses!
