Cataract Treatment in Clinichub
About the clinic
Cataract surgery at Clinichub in Istanbul, Turkey, uses ultrasound waves to restore vision with a 97% success rate. The clinic coordinates care in JCI-accredited hospitals and has treated 20,000+ international patients. Specialists focus on replacing the cloudy natural lens with a clear artificial implant to restore eye function.
Diagnostic process for cataracts
The journey starts with a detailed eye exam to assess the lens opacity. Patients receive a personalized treatment plan during a free consultation. The following steps prepare the patient for surgery:
- Ophthalmology consultation. A specialist reviews the patient's medical history and symptoms.
- Detailed eye examination. Tests evaluate the overall health of the eye and the severity of the cataract.
- Lens selection measurements. Precise measurements determine the power and type of the artificial intraocular lens needed.
Cataract surgery and recovery
The clinic uses ultrasound-based removal, which involves a small corneal incision. The surgeon breaks up the cataract with waves and removes it before placing an artificial lens. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients resume their daily routines within a few days, while full recovery takes about 4 weeks.
- Intraocular lens (IOL) replacement. An artificial lens replaces the natural one to clear the vision.
- Anesthesia options. Most procedures use topical or local anesthesia, though complex cases may require general anesthesia.
- Minimal hospital stay. Patients usually go home the same day or stay 1 night for observation.
Service and accreditation
Clinichub holds ISO 9001 certification and an International Health Tourism Center license from the Turkish government. The clinic organizes care in partner hospitals that follow JCI standards. Patients traveling from abroad receive a coordinated package to help their recovery. This includes VIP airport transfers and stays in premium recovery hotels.

Accreditations and Standards
The service model operates under the International Health Tourism Center authorization. The Turkish Ministry of Health and Health Türkiye grant this status. All partner medical facilities maintain JCI accreditation and ISO 9001 certification. These standards mean treatments meet international safety and quality protocols. The organization manages care pathways for thousands of guests from multiple countries annually.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The plastic surgery department focuses on aesthetic body contouring and reconstructive procedures. Surgeons use VASER liposuction, which applies ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while sparing other tissues. This method is often combined with BBL, thigh lifts, or arm lifts to improve body proportions.
The clinic offers several abdominal techniques:
- Full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Mini tummy tuck for localized skin removal
- Endoscopic tummy tuck for muscle repair without large incisions
Facial rejuvenation options include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lifts, and chin implants. Dr. Murat Muhammed Biner leads many of these operations. He has performed over 2,000 surgical procedures throughout his career. Dr. Hasan Ozan Kurt specializes in breast surgery and complex reconstructive cases.
ENT and Rhinoplasty Specialization
Otorhinolaryngology specialists perform functional and aesthetic nasal surgeries. The team treats deviated septums through septoplasty to improve breathing comfort. Rhinoplasty is a flagship service, with dedicated protocols for diverse ethnic needs. Surgeons perform Asian, Ethnic, and Caucasian variants to respect natural facial anatomy.
Specialist Dr. Ozan Erol completed a fellowship at the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. He also participated in an observership at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Nasal procedures typically follow a 7–10 day recovery timeline. Most patients spend one night in the hospital for observation. Surgeons use both open and closed techniques based on case complexity.
Bariatric and Ophthalmology Services
For weight-loss management, the center provides metabolic surgery pathways. These include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and gastric balloon options. Dr. Yunus Yapalak specializes in these obesity treatments and has focused on bariatric surgery for three years.
The ophthalmology department offers LASIK eye surgery using laser technology to reshape the cornea. This procedure typically improves vision for more than 90% of patients. Other eye services include cataract surgery with lens replacement and retinal detachment repair.
International Patient Coordination
The organization manages every logistical step of the medical journey. A dedicated team provides 24/7 post-operative care and support.
Services for international guests include:
- Airport pickups with active flight tracking
- VIP transfers between the hotel and hospital
- Stays at premium recovery hotels near medical sites
- On-site patient coordinators for daily assistance
- Hotel-based nurse and doctor supervision during early recovery
