Cataract Treatment in Cayra Clinic
About the clinic
Cayra Clinic offers cataract diagnostics and surgery in Istanbul and Antalya, Turkey, with OCT imaging and JCI accreditation. The initial consultation is free, while cataract surgery may cost around $1,700–$2,800.
Cataract diagnostics
The ophthalmology department uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image the eye. Patients can also have a pre-operative eye examination.
- Free initial consultation. Patients can discuss their needs with the clinic online.
- Pre-operative eye examination. This is included in the cataract surgery package.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT). Imaging is available through the ophthalmology department.
Cataract surgery methods
Surgery removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure takes about 15 minutes in the operating theatre.
- Cataract surgery with an IOL. Lens choices include monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses. Anesthesia may be given through eye drops or local anesthetic, with a mild sedative if needed.
- Laser cataract surgery. A laser makes incisions and softens the lens. The clinic lists greater precision and a lower risk of complications as benefits.
- Phacoemulsification. Ultrasound waves break up the cataract through a small incision. The clinic notes faster healing as a benefit.
- Refractive lens exchange (RLE). This procedure replaces the natural lens with an IOL and can reduce dependence on glasses.
Cataract surgery is usually a day case, with up to 4 hours at the hospital. Vision may improve within a few days; eye pressure is monitored for an hour after surgery.

The package also includes follow-up appointments and travel support. Flights and extended hotel stays are not included.
- Pre-operative consultation and eye examination

Ophthalmology and Eye Surgery

Dental Care and Smile Design
The dental department focuses on restorative and cosmetic procedures for full-mouth rehabilitation. Dentists use All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant systems to replace entire arches of teeth. These methods allow permanent restoration using few titanium posts. Smile design programs combine veneers, crowns, and whitening to improve aesthetics.
Restorative options include materials tailored to each patient's needs:
- Zirconia veneers for front teeth due to their natural appearance
- Porcelain laminates with metal infrastructure for added durability
- Dental bridges and root canal treatments for functional restoration
- Hollywood Smile makeovers for gaps and tooth discoloration
For patients with dental anxiety, the clinic offers inhaled minimal sedation. This includes nitrous oxide to help patients relax during treatment. Recovery from nitrous oxide usually takes about 30 minutes.

Dental diagnostics rely on panoramic and periapical X-rays to assess bone structure. The clinic also provides ABPM for 24-hour blood pressure monitoring during check-ups.
