LASIK is fast, safe, and life-changing — and at $800 per eye in Istanbul, it's also remarkably affordable. Here's the full journey.
Before: The Pre-Op Exam
Your candidacy is decided by data, not guesswork. You'll receive a comprehensive eye exam including corneal mapping (topography) and measurements of your prescription. Not everyone is a candidate — and a reputable clinic will tell you honestly.
During: The 10-Minute Procedure
The procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye. A femtosecond laser creates an ultra-thin corneal flap, an excimer laser reshapes the cornea, and the flap repositions itself — no stitches, no bandages. You'll feel pressure, not pain.
After: 24–48 Hours to Clear Vision
Most patients see clearly within hours. You'll wear protective shields to sleep, use prescribed eye drops, and avoid swimming, makeup, and dusty environments for two weeks.
The 98% Success Rate
LASIK has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any elective procedure — approximately 98% in appropriate candidates. Mild dry eye is the most common temporary side effect.
Why Istanbul?
JCI-accredited clinics, experienced refractive surgeons, and an all-inclusive fixed price of $800 per eye — roughly half the cost in Western Europe and a third of the cost in the US.
