Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK / SMILE) in Istanbul

LASIK and SMILE Pro in 15 minutes per eye, from $800 per eye — modern femtosecond lasers, top ophthalmologists, vision correction for -10 to +6 diopters.

LASIK vs SMILE

LASIK creates a corneal flap with a femtosecond laser and reshapes the cornea. SMILE removes a small lenticule through a keyhole incision — minimally invasive, ideal for high myopia and dry-eye-prone patients.

Candidacy

  • Myopia up to -10D
  • Hyperopia up to +6D
  • Astigmatism up to 5D
  • Stable prescription for 1+ years
  • Age 18+

The day of surgery

Numbing drops, 15 minutes per eye, and you walk out with ~80% vision improving over the next hours. Most patients return to work within 2–3 days.

SMILE surgery at 9am, sightseeing in Sultanahmet at 4pm. 20/20 vision — I cried when I read the street signs from the hotel balcony.
