About LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea using a precise excimer laser to correct vision problems including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The procedure eliminates or reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Turkey has become a leading destination for LASIK surgery, with ophthalmology centers equipped with the latest femtosecond laser technology. Turkish eye clinics perform thousands of LASIK procedures annually at 60-70% less than UK or US prices.
The procedure takes only 10-15 minutes per eye and is performed under topical anesthesia (eye drops). Most patients notice improved vision within hours and can return to normal activities within 1-2 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does LASIK cost in Turkey?
LASIK in Turkey costs between €1,000 and €2,500 for both eyes, compared to €3,000-€5,000 in the UK. The price typically includes pre-operative exams, the procedure, and follow-up appointments.
Is LASIK painful?
No. The procedure is virtually painless thanks to numbing eye drops. You may feel slight pressure during the procedure. Some patients experience mild discomfort, dryness, or light sensitivity for 24-48 hours afterward.
