Premium intraocular trifocal lenses are intraocular lenses that help you see clearly at near, medium and far distances without glasses. While single-focal lenses make the use of close glasses necessary, trifocal lenses offer the user the chance to see in three foci. This eliminates the need for glasses. The fact that it is trifocal allows patients to perform far, middle and near distance activities without glasses.
Premium intraocular trifocal lenses are generally applied to patients aged 40 and over with cataracts. It is also used for patients with distance or near vision problems. The eye structure of these patients must be suitable for lenses.
During cataract surgery, the patients' natural lens is removed. Premium trifocal intraocular lenses are used instead. Since these lenses are lifelong, the patient can use them for many years without any problems. The surgical technique applied during the fitting of the lenses is the Phaco method. This cataract surgery has an extremely high success rate. The surgery is performed under anaesthetic eye drops; light sedation can be given if needed.

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.
Intraocular trifocal lenses are not recommended to be replaced unless any medical disease occurs. For this reason, your doctor gives detailed information about which lens will be used before cataract surgery. It is an extremely important and one-time decision. However, these multifocal lenses will not be suitable for every patient. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the appropriate lens for the patient. In this respect, the experience of the doctor should also be given due importance.
Trifocal lenses are not suitable for all patients. These lenses should not be applied especially to the following patients:
In advanced glaucoma these lenses require caution; the decision is made by the doctor.
Although trifocal lenses are not suitable for these people, cataract and other eye treatments of these people can be done in different ways. These are lenses that can be applied to cataract patients who do not have this problem and are over the age of 40.
| Lens type | How it works | Who it suits | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monofocal | Focuses at a single distance, usually far. | Cataract patients who do not mind keeping reading glasses. |
|
|
| Monofocal Toric | A monofocal lens that also corrects astigmatism. | Cataract patients with significant astigmatism. |
|
|

| EDOF | Extends the depth of focus: continuous clear vision from far to intermediate. Near focus sits about 10 cm further out than a trifocal (multifocal): around 40 cm instead of 30 cm. | Recommended if you have had laser surgery before, want very sharp distance vision, or drive at night for long stretches. |

Intraocular trifocal lenses are acrylic lenses that help to see far, medium and near distances without glasses. These lenses are lifelong and are worn permanently. Unless there is a very serious disease condition, removal of the lens is not recommended by the doctor. Before trifocal lenses, a type of multifocal lens, are used, the patient is evaluated in detail. The general condition and eye structure of the patient are examined in detail whether they are suitable for these lenses or not. For suitable patients, it is important that these lenses are fitted by experienced surgeons. This is important for both patient satisfaction and the success of the operation.
These lenses focus the light coming on itself to different focal points. These lenses have rings on them that have the ability to focus light to different points. The light refracting power of each of these rings is also different. In this way, people can see both far and close distances comfortably. The most basic area of use is patients with cataract surgery. The second is patients who do not have cataract but have difficulty in seeing far and near distances without glasses. Regardless of the situation, the procedures for premium intraocular trifocal lenses are the same. It is applied by surgically removing the natural lens in the eye and replacing it with these lenses. The inserted multifocal lenses remain in the eye for a lifetime. In other words, unlike contact lenses, they are not lenses that need to be constantly removed and reinserted by the patient.

Prices are per the treatment package shown. Our package prices do not change with your prescription. For astigmatism a toric lens option is available, at a separate price.
Intraocular trifocal lenses are applied to patients with a high prescription and patients with cataract problems. These people can use multifocal lenses when they want to lead a life independent of glasses. It can be said that the satisfaction rate with multifocal lenses is high, especially for patients with hyperopia. The surgery of these lenses is not performed for everyone. For this reason, details such as the patient's profession, age, prescription and expectations from the surgery are taken into consideration when deciding on the operation.
These lenses are made of acrylic. They are designed in a way that people can use them throughout their lives. In this way, they have a structure that does not deteriorate in the eye for a lifetime. However, it is important that the doctor who will perform the application has high experience.
Intraocular lens and cataract surgery are among the most commonly performed operations in the world, with a very high success rate. As with any surgical procedure there are some risks, but they are unlikely, and most can be treated if they do occur. Regular check-ups help to spot any problem early.
Premium trifocal lens prices vary depending on the type of lens to be used 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easy process to book appointment, clear communication throughout. The hospital I clean and well-equipped. The staff friendly and helpful. A translator on hand from the moment I arrived until I left The preparation and tests pror to the Yag laser procedure, faultless. Clear information given on each part if the process. The procedure was painless, and no ill effects and I could see clearly about 30 minutes after the procedure. I cannot recommend them enough .

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.

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!!

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.

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.
