Procedures We Offer
Trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are the most advanced solution for patients who wish to correct cataracts or presbyopia and achieve sharp vision at near, intermediate, and far distances — without glasses. We offer 3 brands. Check out bellow for more information.
Everyone has a natural lens in the eye that changes shape to focus on near and far objects. With age, this lens loses flexibility (presbyopia) and later becomes cloudy (cataract). A trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) replaces the natural lens, restoring clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.
Once placed, the trifocal lens does not wear out or allow cataracts to return, making it a lifelong solution.
Adults over 40 with near, intermediate, or distance vision problems.
Patients who want to be free from glasses permanently.
Those with cataracts who also want clear vision at all distances.
Younger patients with high prescriptions not suitable for laser correction.
Patients who had previous laser surgery but later developed cataracts.
Each eye is treated separately, a few days apart.
The surgery takes about 10 minutes per eye and is performed under eye-drop anaesthesia.
No general anaesthesia or overnight stay is required.
The natural lens is removed and replaced with a trifocal lens.
Patients go home the same day and start seeing clearly almost immediately.
Sharp vision at all distances – near, intermediate, and far.
Especially effective for intermediate vision (computer use, TV, daily tasks).
Lifelong solution — cataracts cannot return.

Trifocal Eye Lens Surgery
iLasik laser surgery, also known as bladeless laser surgery, is a personalized laser procedure used for the permanent treatment of refractive errors such as hyperopia, astigmatism, and myopia. It is also used to create channels for the rings used in the treatment of keratoconus.
During the operation, intralase (bladeless method) and wavefront technology, which reveals the three-dimensional topography of the eye surface, are applied individually.
The femto laser is a type of infrared laser operating at very short nanometer wavelengths, allowing for bladeless flap creation using intralase technology. It is used to create corneal flaps for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It is also used to open intracorneal ring segments and for corneal transplants.
Femtosecond laser allows for more stable corneal flaps to be created, while it also minimizes the risk of complications in various excimer laser operations, resulting in better results.
Before treatment, the ophthalmologist checks the patient's general health. A preoperative examination determines the patient's suitability for the procedure. The patient is informed about the surgical procedure and potential risks, and the decision to proceed is made after obtaining the patient's consent.
On the day of surgery, patients should not wear any makeup around their eyes. The ophthalmologist will decide whether or not to use blood-thinning medications on the day of surgery. Patients who wear contact lenses should discontinue use a few days prior.
If there are any other issues that the patient should pay attention to before the surgery, the ophthalmologist will inform the patient about these issues.
Persons over the age of 18,
People who have not changed their eyeglass numbers for the last year,
People with sufficient corneal thickness,
Patients with up to 4 degrees of astigmatism, up to 10 degrees of myopia and up to 6 degrees of hyperopia,
People who do not have diabetes or similar systemic diseases,
It can also be applied to patients whose eye structure is deemed suitable for femto lasik by the ophthalmologist after a detailed examination.
First, a 3D map of the patient's eye is created using wavefront technology. The resulting information is then sent to the excimer laser for personalized use.
Before surgery begins, the patient's eye is numbed with anesthetic drops. Once numbed, the treatment is performed using a femtosecond laser, which creates a bladeless flap.
The cornea is reshaped using laser beams, based on information sent to the excimer device. The treatment is completed by repositioning the separated flap, thus correcting the refractive error.
During the application, the excimer device uses the advantage of the eye recognition system to monitor the rotational movement of the eye and ensures that the laser beams are locked on the correct area in the corneal area.
The operation takes approximately 15-20 minutes for both eyes.
In treatment, Wavefront technology allows for precise, personalized application. It is a safe, knifeless, and touch-free method that can be performed on both eyes during the same session, with patients discharged the same day. Recovery is rapid, and the technique is FDA-approved with proven effectiveness. This approach offers excellent visual acuity, low risk of flap displacement, fewer night vision disturbances, and is also suitable for patients with thin corneas.
No. Anesthetic eye drops numb the eyes, and the patient feels no pain during the procedure. Only mild pressure may be felt, but the process is very comfortable.
Laser eye surgery takes about 15–20 minutes per eye, and patients are usually discharged the same day.
Most patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours. Full stabilization and maximum results appear after 1–3 months.
Complications are rare but may include dry eyes, glare, halos around lights at night, or under/over-correction. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.
The majority of patients achieve independence from glasses or contact lenses. However, some may require reading glasses later in life due to natural aging (presbyopia).
Patients with very thin corneas, unstable eye prescriptions, keratoconus, or serious eye diseases may not be suitable.
Results are long-term and often permanent. In rare cases, a small enhancement procedure may be required if vision changes.
Yes. Both eyes are usually treated in the same session for convenience and faster recovery.
Costs vary depending on the clinic, surgeon, and technique (iLASIK vs SMILE). In Türkiye, the surgery is more affordable compared to Europe and the U.S., while maintaining high medical standards.
Recovery is usually very easy. Most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 days, following the doctor’s aftercare instructions.
iLASIK is a safe, precise, and effective treatment for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. With rapid recovery and lasting results, most patients enjoy clearer vision within just 24 hours.
iLasik (Femto Laser)
No-Touch Laser, also known as TransPRK, is a modern eye laser treatment performed entirely without physical contact or surgical instruments. The procedure uses an advanced excimer laser to reshape the cornea directly, correcting refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Because no flap is created, it is especially suitable for patients with thin corneas or those not eligible for traditional LASIK. With its contact-free design and fast healing, No-Touch Laser offers international patients a safe and highly effective alternative to traditional LASIK, providing clear vision and long-term satisfaction. make sligly shorter and seo friendly
It can be applied to patients with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism whose eye structure is suitable. This means that patients with nearsightedness or nearsightedness may be candidates for this treatment. It can also be applied to individuals who have had cataract surgery before and to patients with retinal tears or those prone to tears, provided their eye structure is suitable. Finally, No Touch Laser treatment can also be applied to patients with thin corneas and those whose corneal surface is steeper than normal.
No Touch Laser treatment begins with the application of anesthetic drops to the eye, and the patient feels no pain during the treatment. No device comes into contact with the eye; the laser beams are applied directly to the eye. All the patient needs to do is look at the green light emitted by the laser. The treatment is completed in a single session for both eyes in just 50 seconds.
After treatment, the eyes do not need to be patched; the patient can go home with both eyes open. UV-protective glasses are provided for eye protection during this period. After returning home, the patient will experience symptoms such as stinging, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision in small print on television for 36 hours. Prescription medications are intended to make this period more comfortable. The patient spends the first three days at home and returns for a follow-up visit on the fourth day. On the fourth day after treatment, the patient can work on the computer and begin driving by the seventh day. As recovery progresses, the patient's vision will improve. This process can take approximately one month. There will be no increase in the patient's eye prescription after the no-touch laser treatment. Therefore, contact lenses or glasses are not required.
Eyes should not come into contact with water for approximately one week. After the procedure, it's important to use eye drops prescribed by your doctor for the duration of time. It's important to protect your eyes from UV light as much as possible, and sunglasses should be worn during harsh daylight hours. Driving should be avoided immediately after surgery. To ensure a healthy recovery, rest for a period of time and avoid strenuous activities.
Wavefront surgery, also known as "eagle eye," measures light scattering and aberrations within the eye, and adjusts laser treatment accordingly. Correcting these aberrations with the wavefront technique ensures a treatment tailored to the individual's eye structure.
The treatment takes place without the device coming into contact with the eye.
Both eyes are treated in the same session.
The eyes are not closed after treatment.
It can be applied to patients with thin corneas.
It can be applied to myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
There is no need to remove any layers from the eye.
Since there is no incision, the possibility of eye dryness after the procedure is minimal.
Higher prescriptions can be applied depending on the patient's eye structure.
TransPRK (No Touch Laser) treatment was first used in Germany and is now approved by official authorities in all European Union countries, Japan, Russia, America and many other countries.
In our country, this treatment is applied in some private sector hospitals and in some Training and Research Hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health.

No-Touch Laser (Trans PRK)
Advanced and modern eye laser treatment performed without physical contact or surgical instruments to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It is ideal for patients with thin corneas or those unsuitable for traditional LASIK. With its contact-free method, rapid recovery, and proven safety.
Lens Replacement Surgery (Cataract)
Cataract is an eye condition where the natural lens behind the pupil gradually loses transparency, causing blurred and dull vision. It is most common after age 45 and directly impacts quality of life.
Lens replacement surgery removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial one, restoring clear vision. The procedure takes around 15 minutes per eye, requires no general anaesthesia, and patients are discharged the same day.
This treatment is also suitable for patients over 40 who do not have cataracts but struggle with age-related vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, and are not candidates for laser surgery. After detailed examination and tests, lens type is personalised by the specialist to ensure the best results and patient satisfaction.
Lens replacement surgery, also called cataract surgery, removes the eye’s cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts develop when the natural lens loses transparency, causing blurred or dim vision. This procedure restores clarity, reduces dependence on glasses, and significantly improves quality of life.
Cataract surgery is among the safest and most successful eye treatments worldwide. Each eye takes around 15 minutes, no general anaesthesia is required, and patients are discharged the same day — making it a quick and effective solution for long-term vision correction.
Lens replacement surgery is recommended for:
Patients with cataracts that blur or dim vision.
Adults over 40–45 who are not suitable for laser surgery but struggle with near, far, or intermediate vision.
Individuals with progressive age-related vision loss.
Patients wishing to reduce or eliminate glasses through premium lens options.
Each lens choice is tailored to lifestyle, vision needs, and specialist recommendations.
Premium or “smart” lenses are advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) that provide clear vision at multiple distances. Unlike standard monofocal lenses, they can greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses after surgery.
Types of Lenses:
Monofocal: Clear vision at one distance (near or far), may still need glasses.
Bifocal: Corrects near and far distances, with limited intermediate vision.
Trifocal: The most advanced option, providing sharp vision at near, intermediate, and far distances — rarely requiring glasses.
Local anaesthetic drops — no general anaesthesia needed.
A tiny 2–3 mm incision is made in the cornea.
The cloudy natural lens is removed with ultrasound (phacoemulsification).
An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted in its place.
No stitches are usually required, and patients go home the same day.
Duration: Around 15–20 minutes per eye.
Recovery is usually fast and smooth:
First days: Mild discomfort, tearing, or blurred vision.
1 week: Avoid rubbing eyes, swimming, or dusty environments.
24–48 hours: Vision often starts to clear.
8–12 weeks: Full stabilization of vision.
With trifocal lenses, most patients achieve complete freedom from glasses. In cataract cases, recurrence is not possible since the natural lens is permanently replaced. Prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops ensure safe healing.
Most patients experience clearer vision within days. Full recovery takes 8–12 weeks, during which eye drops and protective measures are required.
Avoid rubbing the eye, heavy lifting, swimming, or exposing the eye to dust and smoke. Use prescribed eye drops exactly as directed.
The most common technique is phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive method using ultrasound. In advanced cases, femtosecond laser-assisted surgery may be used.
Adults with cataracts affecting daily activities, or patients over 40 with age-related vision decline not treatable with laser, are good candidates.
Complications are rare but may include infection, swelling, lens dislocation, or glare. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes risks.
Yes. Although intraocular lenses are designed to last a lifetime, in rare cases they can be exchanged if necessary.
Most patients notice significant improvement within 24–48 hours, with vision continuing to stabilize over the next few weeks.
The cost depends on the lens type (monofocal, bifocal, trifocal) and the clinic. In Türkiye, the procedure is more affordable compared to Europe and the U.S., while maintaining high medical standards.
If you struggle with blurred vision or depend on glasses after 40, lens replacement surgery may be the solution. Safe, quick, and personalised, it restores clear vision and quality of life.
ReLEx SMILE Eye Surgery
This is a minimally invasive laser treatment for myopia and astigmatism. Using a tiny incision, this bladeless procedure reshapes the cornea with high precision, offering faster recovery and reduced dry-eye risk. As a modern alternative to LASIK, ReLEx SMILE in Turkey provides international patients with safe, effective, and lasting vision correction.
ReLEx SMILE Laser is the latest (3rd generation) refractive eye surgery and a major advance in blade-free vision correction. Unlike LASIK, which requires a larger incision, SMILE uses the Carl Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser to create and remove a tiny disc of tissue (lenticule) through a 2 mm incision.
This minimally invasive technique is FDA-approved, safe, and especially effective for patients with high myopia. It offers fast recovery, less discomfort, lower risk of dry eyes, and preserves more corneal strength compared to flap-based methods. Most patients achieve sharp vision within just a few days, without stitches.
If you have an active lifestyle or job, SMILE may be a better option for you than LASIK or similar procedures. If you are quite active, you may accidentally displace the corneal flap, causing problems. Since SMILE does not involve creating a flap in the cornea as LASIK does, it eliminates the complications that may arise after flap creation.
For this reason, the ReLEx SMILE Laser method emerges as the most suitable surgical method for individuals with an active lifestyle and professional athletes.
You must be at least 18 years old.
Your eye prescription should not have changed in the past year.
Your myopia must be between -1.00 to -10.00 diopters, and your astigmatism should not exceed -5.00 diopters.
Your overall eye and corneal health must be appropriate.You should have realistic expectations regarding what ReLEx SMILE can or cannot do for you.
Patients with fluctuating prescriptions.
Hyperopia patients (research for hyperopia treatment with SMILE is ongoing; it is anticipated that it may be applicable to hyperopia patients in the future.)
Individuals under 18 years old.
The presence of skin or other diseases that may affect recovery.
Excessive scar or keloid formation.
Those with corneal degeneration or disease.
Individuals with advanced glaucoma disease.
Those with cataract discomfort affecting vision.
Uncontrolled diabetes.
Individuals with a history of certain eye infections.
Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Before the surgery, a very detailed eye examination and tests should be conducted to evaluation and whether your eye structure is suitable for SMILE surgery. There is a laser procedure that lasts about 27 seconds during the operation. After placing a vacuum ring to prevent eye movement, the laser is applied, and your doctor removes the created piece from inside the cornea through an incision of only 2 mm. It is recommended to rest on the day following the surgery.
It is completely normal to experience tearing, light glare, and sensitivity in the eyes throughout the day, and this can be alleviated with the drops used.
Since a large incision is not made to create the corneal flap, complications related to flap tissue are not expected. Complications such as flap folding or misalignment are also not anticipated immediately after the surgery. Additionally, the risk of the flap being displaced in any trauma to the eye in the long term is eliminated. Because a smaller corneal incision is created, the number of cut nerves is lower, and the resulting eye dryness related to sensation loss is minimized. As a result of the procedure, the patient regains visual comfort.
SMILE can be used for high visual impairments (up to -10 in myopia, and up to -5 in astigmatism), providing high visual quality. In patients with greater degrees of impairment, satisfaction will still be achieved post-procedure as the degree will still decrease.
Glaucoma is a silent eye disease caused by damage to the optic nerve. It often develops without symptoms, gradually narrowing vision and, if untreated, may lead to irreversible blindness. It is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide after cataracts.
Most patients do not notice changes until advanced stages, when symptoms may include blurred vision, eye pain, halos around lights, headaches, or sudden vision loss. Because the optic nerve can be damaged every day without warning, regular eye exams after age 45 are essential. These should include not only pressure measurement but also OCT scans to detect nerve cell loss early.
While glaucoma cannot be cured, it can be effectively controlled with timely diagnosis and the right treatment — helping to preserve vision and prevent blindness.
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve — the “information highway” between the eye and the brain. In most cases, it’s caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) when the eye’s natural fluid does not drain properly. Over time, this pressure damages nerve cells, leading to gradual vision loss and, if untreated, permanent blindness.
Several factors increase the risk of glaucoma:
High eye pressure (IOP) – the most common cause.
Age 40+ – risk rises significantly after midlife.
Family history of glaucoma.
Health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or migraines.
Eye anatomy – thin corneas or high myopia.
Steroid use (long-term).
Previous eye trauma.
Open-Angle Glaucoma – most common; develops slowly, often without early symptoms.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma – less common, but sudden and painful; a medical emergency.
Normal-Tension Glaucoma – nerve damage occurs even with normal pressure.
Congenital Glaucoma – rare, present at birth.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it develops without warning. Symptoms may include:
Gradual loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision).
Blurred or foggy vision, halos around lights.
Eye pain, headaches, or difficulty adapting to low light.
In acute cases: sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, redness, nausea, and vomiting.
Early detection is key. Comprehensive eye exams after age 40 should include:
Tonometry (eye pressure test).
OCT scan (optic nerve imaging).
Visual field test (checks side vision).
Gonioscopy (examines eye drainage angle).
While glaucoma cannot be cured, treatment can control eye pressure and protect your vision. Options include:
Eye Drops – reduce fluid production or improve drainage.
Laser Therapy – improves fluid outflow and lowers pressure.
Glaucoma Surgery – when other methods aren’t enough:
Trabeculectomy – creates a new drainage channel.
Drainage devices (shunts) – implants to redirect fluid.
MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) – modern, faster-recovery techniques, often combined with cataract surgery.
Glaucoma management is lifelong. After surgery, patients may need several weeks to recover and must:
Use prescribed drops regularly.
Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or eye pressure.
Wear sunglasses outdoors.
Attend all follow-up appointments.
High Intraocular Pressure vs. Glaucoma: The Key DistinctionNo, high intraocular pressure (IOP) alone does not automatically mean you have glaucoma. Many people have elevated eye pressure without any damage to their optic nerve. This condition is called ocular hypertension. However, having high IOP significantly increases your risk, and your eye doctor will likely recommend close monitoring and, in some cases, preventive treatment to lower the pressure and prevent glaucoma from developing.
Irreversible Damage: Why Early Detection is CriticalUnfortunately, vision loss caused by optic nerve damage from glaucoma is irreversible. Once the nerve fibers are destroyed, they cannot be regenerated. The primary goal of treatment is to halt or slow down the progression of the disease and prevent further loss of vision, not to restore what has already been lost. This is why early detection is so important.
Glaucoma and Genetics: Understanding Your Family HistoryYes, a family history of glaucoma is a major risk factor. If a close relative, such as a parent or sibling, has the disease, your risk is significantly higher. It is strongly recommended that individuals with a family history of glaucoma begin regular comprehensive eye exams at an earlier age.
Normal-Tension Glaucoma: A Puzzling ConditionYes, this is a real possibility and is known as normal-tension glaucoma. In these cases, optic nerve damage and vision loss occur even though the intraocular pressure is within the statistically normal range. The causes are not fully understood but may be related to poor blood flow to the optic nerve or a sensitive nerve structure. Diagnosis requires a detailed examination of the optic nerve and visual field.
Regular Eye Exams: Your Best Defense Against GlaucomaFor individuals with no risk factors, a baseline comprehensive eye exam is recommended at age 40. After that, your doctor will advise you on the frequency of follow-up exams. If you have risk factors such as a family history, diabetes, or a history of high eye pressure, your doctor may recommend more frequent screenings, sometimes annually.
Long-Term Medication: The Cornerstone of Glaucoma ManagementGlaucoma eye drops are generally safe for long-term use and are the most common method of controlling the disease. However, like all medications, they can have side effects. Your doctor will work with you to find the most effective and well-tolerated drops. It is crucial to use them exactly as prescribed and not to stop without consulting your doctor, as this could lead to a rapid increase in eye pressure.
Prevention vs. Early Detection: A Proactive ApproachThere is no definitive way to prevent glaucoma from occurring, especially if you have a genetic predisposition. However, early detection is the next best thing. Regular comprehensive eye exams, including a detailed check of your optic nerve and eye pressure, are your best defense. Diagnosing the disease early allows for prompt treatment, which can prevent or significantly delay vision loss.
Glaucoma vs. Cataracts: Two Different Eye ConditionsGlaucoma and cataracts are two distinct eye conditions. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, often caused by high eye pressure, leading to irreversible vision loss. A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens, which causes blurry vision that can often be corrected with surgery to replace the lens. While both can affect vision, they target different parts of the eye and require different treatments.
Glaucoma, also known as ocular hypertension, gradually increases eye pressure and harms the optic nerve. While it cannot be cured, early detection and treatment in Turkey can successfully control the disease and prevent blindness.
