iLASIK Laser Eye Surgery
iLASIK is a personalised, bladeless laser eye surgery used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Using wavefront technology, it maps and reshapes the cornea to improve vision. The procedure is quick, has a short recovery period and may greatly reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Recovery Time
Back to daily life in 1 day, full recovery in several weeks
Anaesthesia Type
Topical Eye Drops
iLASIK is a laser eye surgery procedure used in the treatment of eye defects. This method, which has much less complication risks, is the most practical treatment method for patients who do not want to use glasses or contact lenses. It is a bladeless treatment method used for the treatment of very common visual defects such as myopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia. iLASIK treatment is extremely attractive because it has a short recovery period. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a laser to create a flap on the cornea. Again with laser support, the shape of the cornea is changed and vision is corrected.

Which treatment suits me?
A few short questions to show you which treatments would be discussed at your examination. At the end we will call you for a free consultation.
Refractive errors are very common worldwide. With the developing technology, laser treatments that produce the most reliable results are used in the treatment of refractive errors in many people. Refractive surgery method has been used since the 1980s. The most important aim of this treatment is to improve the quality of life of people and to lead a life with higher comfort. Today, the iLASIK method is used worldwide for the treatment of refractive errors. This treatment method is completely personalised. Examinations are also carried out in accordance with the patient's eye structure.
What is iLASIK Laser Method?
The laser method used in the permanent treatment of some eye refractive defects is known as iLASIK treatment. As with other eye surgeries, the main purpose of this treatment is to eliminate the patient's need for auxiliary vision materials such as glasses and contacts and to continue their lives in a better quality.
During the application, wavefront technology is used, which produces a three-dimensional topography of the eye surface with intralase, ie bladeless method. All procedures are applied individually. The fact that it is a safe method makes it widely preferred in the correction of many eye defects. 
Who is iLASIK Laser Surgery Suitable for?
One of the points that people who want to apply for iLASIK treatment should know is who this surgery is suitable for. After the examination, the doctor decides whether you are suitable for surgery. Age and eye defect values are one of the most important factors that determine whether you are suitable for this surgery or not. The people to whom this treatment can be applied are as follows:
- Aged 18 or over (over 45, lens options are also considered)
- No change in prescription in the last 12 months
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those with sufficient corneal thickness
- People with the appropriate type of eye defect
- People without diabetes or a similar disease
In addition, this treatment can be applied to patients with astigmatism up to 5 dioptres, hypermetropic patients up to 5 dioptres, and myopic patients up to 10 dioptres. 
Things to Consider Before iLASIK Surgery
Before iLASIK surgery, the patient is examined in detail. By obtaining information about the general health status, it is checked whether the patient is suitable for this treatment. The patient is specially examined before the operation. The patient is informed about the operation process and possible situations. Then, the operation is started by obtaining the patient's consent.
On the day of the operation, the patient should not wear eye make-up. At the same time, blood thinners or how much they can be used is indicated by the doctor in the form of a warning. However, soft contact lens wearers should stop wearing their lenses 5 days, and hard (rigid) lens wearers 2 weeks, before the examination. All the issues that patients should pay attention to before surgery are reported in detail by their doctors.

How is iLASIK Surgery Performed?
For the surgery, firstly, a 3D map of the patient's eye structure is created using wavefront technology. The information obtained with this map is sent to the laser system where the application will be performed. It is completely personalised information. Before the operation, anaesthetic drops are dripped into the patient's eye to numb it. After the numbness starts, a flap is created with the help of femtosecond laser. In this way, the success of the treatment is increased.
What is Wavefront Technology?
Wavefront technology is a technology that creates a three-dimensional map of the optical surfaces of the eye. Thanks to this technology, it can measure the light refraction at each point of the eye. These measurements are analysed with special software and contribute to the accurate identification of defects in the eye. In this way, it contributes to the creation of the most appropriate treatment plan for correction. Wavefront technology enables the creation of a personalised treatment plan and offers a high chance of success. Especially in iLASIK treatment, this method is frequently used.

Astigmatism: iLASIK can correct astigmatism up to 5 dioptres.
How Long Does iLASIK Surgery Take?
iLASIK surgery is an operation that is completed in a very short time, approximately 5-10 minutes for both eyes. During this procedure, which is performed under anaesthetic eye drops, the process is even shorter if only one eye is to be treated. However, the duration may vary according to the patient's eye structure and the details of the treatment.
Laser devices are completely computer controlled and precisely programmed. Therefore, they are very reliable methods. It is a treatment method that offers permanent solutions to vision problems when applied by an expert and experienced doctor.
Risks and Possible Side Effects
Eye laser treatments are well-established methods that have been performed on millions of people worldwide. The risks are low and most side effects are temporary; the suitability examination makes sure that eyes unsuitable for laser are identified beforehand.
- Temporary dry eye: common in the first months; artificial tears relieve it and it usually settles on its own.
- Halos and glare at night: may be noticeable in the first weeks and usually disappear as healing progresses.
- Under or over correction: if some of the prescription remains, an additional laser treatment (enhancement) can be carried out in suitable eyes.
- Flap-related problems: very rare; not rubbing the eye in the first weeks keeps this to a minimum, and it can easily be corrected if needed.
- Infection: very rare; it is prevented with the drops prescribed after treatment and simple hygiene measures.
iLASIK Eye Laser Surgery Prices
iLASIK surgery price varies depending on the underlying cause and the operation to be performed. The treatment plan to be created by our specialist ophthalmologist depending on the detailed examination results may vary from person to person.

Eye Surgery
A very kind and professional medical team! The surgery was completely straightforward and was completed relatively quickly. The entire team, and especially Zuhal, my patient coordinator, was always available, incredibly helpful, and genuinely pleasant throughout the whole process. She stayed by my side from start to finish, explained everything thoroughly, and always made sure I understood what was happening. The doctor worked in a very calm and professional manner, and I never felt uncertain or uncomfortable at any point. There were three fresh meals each day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they were all very enjoyable. The hospital rooms were also very clean and well maintained. Overall, I had a very positive experience with this hospital. I’m truly grateful to the entire team and would wholeheartedly recommend this hospital to anyone.

They made the process of coming to a country where I don’t speak the language and having eye surgery (frightening enough in your home town) very easy indeed. I had a wonderful interpreter with me through the entire process every day, she made everything so easy. First class facilities, first class staff and a very convenient location.

Lens Replacement (Cataract)
My wife and I both had lens replacement here due to both having cataracts. I have to say from start to finish the whole experience was excellent. Careing helpful staff took care of all our needs and queries. Experienced expert surgeon did the operations on both eyes which only takes around 10 to 15 minutes and is completely painless. Excellent aftercare after the operations. Excellent value especially compared to the UK. For the two of us we paid plot less than one operation would cost in the UK. In particular I would like to thank Gem and Zuhan, both of whom speak English, for their care and attention also i would like to thank Dr Mehmet for his expertise. We have been home now for a month or so and our vision just keeps getting better and better as explained. I have no hesitation in recommding this excellent hospital. Thanks for our new eyes.
Mr Sullivan
Eye Laser Surgery (iLASIK)
I visited OE in the UK, which quoted £5,500 for a LASIK surgery on both my eyes. As a result, I subsequently contacted Kudret Goz Istanbul via WhatsApp, and I must say I was very impressed by the level and quality of service. The initial contact person, Cem, was very helpful and explained the process, cost (much more reasonable than the UK clinic), and aftercare procedures very clearly. The doctor that I was assigned was Dr Nail Sönmez, who was very experienced and conducted a very effective iLASIK surgery, which only lasted about 10-15 minutes, and led to a significant improvement in my vision. He was also very transparent about the associated risks involved after the operation and advised how those could be mitigated after the surgery. Although the doctor and Cem spoke English, I was also assigned a translator, Zuhal, who was very friendly and helped me communicate with other hospital staff when needed. Therefore, I highly recommend Kudret Goz Istanbul for any UK resident seeking high-quality LASIK eye surgery at an affordable price.

Trifocal Lens
I have just returned from having Lens transplantation at Kudret Eye Hospital Istanbul. I was a lone traveller who was terrified at the prospect of eye surgery even having done my research. I have to say ALL the staff at Kudret were absolutely amazing. From 1st contacting them the communication was excellent no question was too much and always received a very prompt response. I was met at the airport in the middle of the night and taken straight to the hospital, was shown to my room. I felt very safe. I had numerous test the following day and then a consultation with the Doctor who advised me of my best implants. There was always someone with me who was able to translate anything said. I had my 1st op that afternoon again I felt safe and very confident with the professionalism of all the staff. Surgery took approximately 20 mins. I had no pain and the next day was able to see near intermediate and distance although not 100% but without glasses. After further checks I then went in for my second surgery. Again all went smoothly. The following day sight had improved even more in my 1st eye and then on removal of my eye patch my 2nd eye sight was great. I am thrilled to be glasses free and my vision improves every day. I was told it can take between 1 -3 weeks for the full result. I was given eye drops for home and full care instructions. I am very grateful to all those involved in my journey Thank you.

Outstanding care from start to finish. The team ensured I was fully briefed before and upon my arrival, and I felt reassured throughout the entire procedure. Jem, Dr Mehmet Ali Ozdil and Zuhal delivered exceptional service and made me feel completely at ease during my Femto‑LASIK surgery. Note, following their simple aftercare instructions is also key to recovery.

Lens Replacement
As someone who doesn't write reviews, I feel that this is an important opportunity to reach out to others. I was full of doubts , insecurity and skepticism about this procedure. I bought into all the negatives and downsides of lens replacement surgery , Whilst doing my research . After speaking to Jem , who put no pressure on me to sell me this . I trusted and respected him . There are many places in Turkey ( Medical tourism). , who are pushy , and run clinics offering , Hair , teeth , eyes ect. Kudret goz is a eye hospital that specializes in just eyes. I did arrive nervous, But saw how professional they are. The staff were super and so friendly, From the cleaners , security, receptionists and doctors . The place was spotless and I was comfortable, even 3 hospital meals per day. I'm amazed that my results are immediate. I can see perfectly 20/20 vision both eyes . No halos . Minimal irritation in eyes after op for an hour or 2. I'm amazed at how easy it is . I flew back to Bristol and drove back to South wales late at night . And my eyes at night were spot on . I'm delighted to not be wearing glasses anymore. Which Is given me freedom and a new confidence. I ride motorbikes and can't wait to get out on the bike 🏍. Looking forward to snooker , swimming and playing football. No glasses . My advice would be not to read to much ( scare mongering tactics) i would recommend this to everyone , family , friends and anyone who wants to listen . Best couple of grand I've ever spent . Update . 1 month on perfect vision . No problems.

Eye Laser Surgery
My sister and I recently traveled from London to Istanbul for laser eye operations, and I cannot rave enough about the exceptional care we received at Kudret Göz. Despite arriving at 4:30 AM, our pre-booked transport was seamlessly ready, whisking us directly to the hospital. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the warm welcome and hospitality made us feel instantly at ease. We were promptly shown to our rooms, and the staff's genuine kindness and attentiveness completely calmed any pre-operation jitters. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Beyond the outstanding medical care, the hospital's location is a huge bonus. Theres a massive mall called the Nautilus less than a 5 minute walk away from the hospital. It has amazing food spots along with some familiar ones. Overall, I'm beyond delighted with my experience at Kudret Göz. I was truly astounded by the immense effort they put in to ensure such a seamless and positive visit, all at an incredibly fair price!!
Noman Habibi
Eye Laser Surgery (LASIK)
Hello, so I went to Optical Express in UK but they quoted me an insanely high price for LASIK Surgery. After conducting research on multiple different hospitals and eye surgery places in Turkey. I settled on Kudret Goz. Throughout the entire period they were helpful in answering all my questions and very supportive. They have very experienced doctors who perform LASIK surgery multiple times a day for 20 years plus using the latest Johnson and Johnson technology. As soon as I landed at the airport they picked me up, dropped me at the hospital where I had my own comfortable room. They provided breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the morning they conducted tests to check my vision and if I’m feasible for the surgery, the same evening the surgery happened. I was nervous but It lasted 5 - 10 minutes and rested in my room that evening taking eye drops and disinfect eye drops every hour. The next day I woke up and my vision had become incredibly better, with every passing hour it got better and better. Within 24 hours my vision was incredibly clear and I was amazed. Thank you for operating the surgery and truly providing a life changing experience. For the price and quality of service Kudret Goz is unrivalled.

Eye Laser Surgery (LASIK)
I’m very happy I chose to have my LASIK procedure done at Kudret Göz in Istanbul. From the beginning, the communication was excellent. They speak very good English and were quick to respond to all my questions via text, which made the entire process much easier. On the day of the operation, everything moved efficiently and smoothly. I felt completely comfortable during each test and step of the procedure. The doctor also spoke excellent English and took the time to reassure me with all my questions. The rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and professional, and the clinic itself was very clean and well-organized. I would highly recommend Kudret Göz to anyone considering LASIK.

Examination and imaging devices
Johnson & Johnson Vision
iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio
The measurement device that captures the eye’s optical “fingerprint”. In a single scan it records refractive error at over 1,200 points, corneal topography and pupil metrics. The map is passed to the excimer laser, so treatment follows your eye’s own map rather than a standard prescription.
Why we chose this device
A spectacle prescription is a coarse summary of the eye's refractive error; this device takes thousands of separate readings across the same eye and maps them. Laser treatment is then planned around that eye's own pattern rather than an average figure, which is where night vision is won or lost.
Tracey Technologies
iTrace
A vision-quality analyser that splits the eye’s total refractive error into the parts coming from the cornea and from the natural lens. One of the measurements the surgeon relies on when deciding between laser and lens replacement, and when choosing a trifocal lens.
Why we chose this device
One of the methods that can tell whether a visual complaint comes from the cornea or from the lens inside the eye. That distinction changes the treatment: a corneal cause calls for laser, a lens cause for lens exchange. By ray-tracing the two separately, it keeps patients from being steered to the wrong procedure.
Laser systems
ZEISS VisuMax 800
The femtosecond laser behind ReLEx SMILE PRO. It creates a thin lenticule inside the cornea and removes it through a 2-4 mm incision; no flap is cut. Lenticule cutting takes under 10 seconds per eye and the device tracks eye movement to centre itself.
Why we chose this device
On this laser the lenticule cut in SMILE takes seconds; the shorter the eye has to be held still, the smaller the margin for error from patient movement. Its eye tracking keeps the cut on the planned axis even if the eye shifts.
ZEISS VISUMAX 500
The femtosecond laser the ReLEx SMILE technique was developed on. It shapes a thin lens (lenticule) inside the cornea and removes it through a small incision, without raising a flap on the surface. A suction ring holds the eye with gentle contact, and the curved interface, matched to the eye's own curvature, spreads the pressure.
Why we chose this device
Most of the SMILE literature rests on results gathered on this platform, so the long-term data for the technique comes from this very device. Having it alongside the VISUMAX 800 means two femtosecond lasers: we can run two rooms on the same day, and a service visit does not push the surgery schedule.
Johnson & Johnson Vision
IntraLase iFS 150 kHz
The first step of iLASIK: the corneal flap is created 100 % blade-free with a femtosecond laser instead of a blade. At 150 kHz the flap forms in seconds, at the exact thickness and shape the surgeon sets, far more predictable than the older microkeratome. The device is the first link in the iLASIK platform developed by Abbott Medical Optics, today part of Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Why we chose this device
Creating the flap with a laser rather than a blade keeps its thickness uniform to the micron across the whole cornea. The 150 kHz speed shortens the step, and the bevelled edge lets the flap seat back more securely.
Ziemer
FEMTO LDV Z8
A mobile femtosecond laser usable in both corneal and cataract surgery. Its pulse energy is very low and its repetition rate very high, so cuts are formed from small overlapping spots. It can raise a flap, and in cataract surgery it opens the front capsule of the lens and fragments the lens itself. Being on wheels, the laser comes to the table rather than the patient being moved.
Why we chose this device
Opening the front capsule by hand is one of the steps in cataract surgery that most depends on the surgeon's experience; a laser-made capsulotomy comes out the same diameter and centred in every patient, which helps the intraocular lens sit where it should. That the device can be brought to the patient matters too: nobody is moved from one table to another mid-procedure.
Johnson & Johnson Vision
VISX STAR S4 IR Excimer
The excimer laser of iLASIK’s second step. It reshapes corneal tissue with micron precision; infrared eye tracking keeps every pulse on target even if the eye moves. Paired with iDesign measurements it delivers a fully personalised (wavefront-guided) treatment. This laser is part of the iLASIK platform developed by Abbott Medical Optics, today part of Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Why we chose this device
Infrared eye tracking measures the small involuntary movements of the eye hundreds of times a second and keeps the laser on the same spot. Its variable spot size removes only as much tissue as needed, and the less cornea spent now, the more margin remains for a later touch-up.
We keep renewing our equipment
Devices in eye care change quickly, and a newer system often means a shorter, more comfortable or more precise examination. We have renewed our equipment regularly since the day we opened, bringing new-generation systems into the clinic. This page is not fixed either: when a new device arrives, it is added here.

How it works
Your treatment journey
iLASIK follows three steps: a thorough suitability examination, a blade-free procedure of 5-10 minutes for both eyes and a schedule of follow-up visits. Here is what happens at each stage, so you know what to expect.
Step 1
Pre-operative examination
We measure corneal thickness and shape, pupil size, tear film and your prescription in detail with iDesign. Based on the results your surgeon confirms whether iLASIK is suitable for you and what outcome to expect. You will be asked to stop wearing contact lenses for the period your doctor specifies before the examination.
Step 2
Surgery
A femtosecond laser creates a thin flap without a blade; an excimer laser then reshapes the corneal tissue to the map of your own eye. The procedure is done under anaesthetic drops and takes 5-10 minutes for both eyes, with the laser itself working for 20-30 seconds per eye. You go home the same day with a companion.
Step 3
Follow-up and recovery
The first check is the next day, and most patients are back at work the next day. Vision becomes sharp within 1-2 days and fully settles within about a month. Further visits at one week, one month and three months assess visual acuity and corneal healing. You follow the drop schedule your doctor gives you, avoid rubbing your eyes during the first week and stay out of swimming pools and the sea for about 20 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is iLASIK and how is it performed?
iLASIK is a laser surgery procedure used to correct refractive errors in the eye. With Wavefront technology, a 3D map of the eye is created and a personalised treatment plan is created. Femtosecond laser is used to create a flap on the cornea and vision is corrected.
Who can iLASIK be applied to?
iLASIK treatment can be applied to individuals over 18 who have had no change in prescription in the last 12 months, have sufficient corneal thickness and do not have health problems such as diabetes. Over the age of 45, lens options are also considered.
How is iLASIK surgery performed?
Firstly, a 3D map of the eye is made. Then the eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops and a flap is created in the cornea with a femtosecond laser. The shape of the cornea is then corrected using the laser beam.
How long does iLASIK surgery last?
i-LASIK surgery usually takes 5-10 minutes for both eyes. This time may be shorter if the procedure is performed for only one eye.
For which eye problems is iLASIK treatment suitable?
iLASIK is effective in the treatment of eye defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The treatment aims to eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.
How does the recovery process work after i-LASIK surgery?
The recovery process after i-LASIK is usually fast. Most patients are back at work and to their normal activities the next day. Vision becomes sharp within 1-2 days and fully settles within about a month.
Is there pain during iLASIK surgery?
No pain is usually felt during iLASIK surgery. Because the eye is numbed by applying anaesthetic drops before the procedure. There may be a small feeling of discomfort, but pain is usually absent.
When does vision recover after iLASIK?
Visual recovery usually begins within a few hours after surgery. Vision becomes sharp within 1-2 days and fully settles within about a month; results may vary according to individual eye structure.
What is Wavefront technology?
Wavefront technology is a system that maps the optical surfaces of the eye in 3D. This technology enables accurate identification of defects in the eye and personalises the treatment plan.
Is iLASIK surgery safe?
iLASIK is a very safe treatment method when performed by a specialised and experienced ophthalmologist. It has high success rates and minimal risk of complications.
What care instructions should be followed after iLASIK surgery?
After the operation, rubbing the eyes should be avoided and the eyes should be protected with protective glasses. In addition, eye drops recommended by the doctor should be used regularly.
Who is not eligible for iLASIK surgery?
Pregnant women, nursing mothers, those whose prescription has changed in the last 12 months and individuals who do not have sufficient corneal thickness cannot undergo i-LASIK.
What are the advantages of iLASIK treatment?
i-LASIK treatment offers advantages such as fast recovery time, low risk of complications and permanent vision correction. It also eliminates the need for glasses and contact lenses.
What are the long-term results of iLASIK treatment?
i-LASIK treatment provides long-term results. Most patients can permanently discontinue the use of glasses or contact lenses and achieve a significant improvement in the quality of vision.
