## How Long to Stay

| Treatment | Nights in Istanbul |
| :--- | :--- |
| Laser eye surgery (iLASIK, SMILE, PRK) | 3 nights |
| Lens replacement and cataract surgery | 4 nights |
| ICL (implantable lens) | 7 nights |

If the examination shows surgery is not suitable, the operation is not performed and the package price does not apply; the patient pays only for the examination, the tests carried out, the airport transfer and the nights actually stayed.

## How the Week Works (example for lens surgery)

### Before Treatment
- **Sunday, arrival:** Private vehicle pickup at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen and transfer to the hospital; free time in the city if landing early.
- **Monday morning, examination:** Full eye tests around 09:30; at about 10:00 the doctor discusses the results, lens choice, how the operation works and expected vision.

### During Treatment
- **Monday afternoon:** First eye operated if suitable; all drops and medicines provided.
- **Tuesday:** Morning check of the operated eye, second eye operated in the afternoon.
- **Laser treatment:** Same start, one day shorter: both eyes treated on Monday afternoon in a single session, check on Tuesday morning and flight home that evening.

### After Treatment
- **Wednesday:** Final examination with all necessary tests, free to fly home that evening; an extra night is possible.
