Keratoconus Treatment in Cayra Clinic
About the clinic
Cayra Clinic provides keratoconus diagnostics and treatment in Antalya and Istanbul, Turkey. An online or in-clinic consultation is free, while corneal transplantation may cost around $4,000–$6,000. The clinic holds JCI, ISO 9001, and TEMOS accreditations and partners with Orbit Medical Center in Antalya for advanced eye surgery.
Keratoconus assessment
Eye testing helps assess corneal shape, thickness, and damage. Available diagnostic options include:
- Free consultation: Available online or at the clinic.
- Detailed eye examination: Includes corneal thickness measurement and a check for scarring.
- Corneal topography: Maps the cornea’s shape.
- OCT imaging: Optical coherence tomography creates images of eye structures.
Treatment options
- Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty): For advanced keratoconus that glasses or contact lenses can no longer correct. The surgeon removes the damaged cornea and stitches a healthy donor cornea into place. The procedure is performed under anesthesia; mild discomfort may follow. The package includes a pre-operative eye examination, donor cornea, surgery, eye drops, and follow-up checks. Flights and extended accommodation are not included.
- Corneal cross-linking: Strengthens the cornea and slows keratoconus progression, which may help delay the need for a transplant.
- Intacs corneal implants: Reshape the cornea and may be an alternative to transplantation for suitable patients.
- Scleral lenses: Offer non-surgical vision correction for people who want to avoid surgery.
Transplantation may be considered for severe corneal thinning, progression, scarring, or intolerance to keratoconus contact lenses. The clinic reports vision improvement in 90% of keratoconus patients after transplant. Full recovery may take 6 months to 1 year. Aftercare includes eye drops, avoiding strenuous activity, and regular check-ups. Possible risks include graft rejection, infection, scarring, or astigmatism that needs further correction.
The clinic also lists VIP airport transfers and hotel accommodation among its eye-care services. Patients can request a keratoconus consultation through Bookimed.

Ophthalmology and Eye Surgery
The ophthalmology department offers surgical corrections for vision and structural eye issues. Specialists perform laser eye surgery using LASIK, SMILE, and PRK. The SMILE technique uses a small incision to extract a lenticule and correct vision. Package options often include premium intraocular lenses when needed.
The clinic also treats complex eye conditions:
- Cataract surgery using ultrasound or laser incisions for lens replacement
- Corneal transplantation for advanced keratoconus with a 90% success rate

Strabismus surgeries typically last 30 to 90 minutes. Success rates range from 88% to 96%.
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.
Diagnostic Technologies
Cayra Clinic uses specific diagnostic tools for accurate treatment planning. The facility has OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for high-resolution eye imaging. 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.
