The second doctor I saw was great, he made sure I was fine and I felt welcomed by him

If you're considering strabismus surgery, here is what my experience was like. I have to be honest, the start wasn't ideal. The first doctor I saw was not the best one; he didn’t make me feel welcomed. But the second doctor I saw was great, he made sure I was fine and I felt welcomed by him. He showed me eye movement tests before we decided on the surgery and clearly explained the realistic alignment expectations, which for me involved adjusting one muscle on a single eye. Throughout the rest of the process, I felt I was treated very well, made sure to understand things that’s were going on. It’s still very early, so it’s too early to tell about the final result, but the care from my surgeon and the staff was good.

The clinic was great, the doctor very knowledgeable, and the staff were fantastic. The problem was Bookimed itself. Due to poor assistance and a lack of communication, they failed to sort my transfer after a flight cancellation and then refused to refund the Uber I had to pay for. I had ReLEx SMILE for nearsightedness with astigmatism, but it’s too early to tell the results. The aftercare guide was clear, with little contact since. I would advise booking directly with the clinic to skip the complications.
The clinic was great. Doctor very knowledgeable. Staff amazing. Everything from the moment I got in the clinic was fantastic.
Bookimed itself. Lack of communication and poor assistance. Bookimed failed to help me to get the transfer sorted after my flight was cancelled. As a result, I had to take a book which Bookimed REFUSED to refund me, even though it was THEIR mistake. I should not have to pay for their mistake, which is a shame

Being able to see the world clearly really does change the quality of life

I’d like to leave a positive review of the Dünyagöz clinic and Bookimed, the company that helped me find this clinic. First and foremost, I’d like to highlight the high standard of service at the Dünyagöz clinic. Upon arrival, I was promptly met and immediately provided with an interpreter. So there is absolutely no need to worry about the language barrier — both Russian and English are available here. The interpreter accompanies you at every stage: from the initial consultation right through to the operation itself. This is very important, as eye care requires a precise understanding of all your concerns and the doctor’s recommendations. I was also pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of the wards. All the staff are very friendly, helpful and always ready to assist with any queries. Another definite plus was the full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, so you don’t have to worry about practical matters and can focus entirely on your treatment and recovery. I would like to express my special thanks to Bookimed. Throughout the entire process, you are supported by a personal coordinator who helps organise your trip, answers questions and provides all the necessary details. My coordinator was Anastasia, and I am sincerely grateful to her for her support. She was available practically 24/7 and even helped with matters not directly related to the clinic. It was on her recommendation that I chose Dünyagöz. What’s more, Anastasia herself had previously had her vision corrected at the same clinic, so she was able to share her personal experience. Now we are both delighted with the result and can confidently recommend this clinic to others. If you’ve been thinking about vision correction for a while, there’s no need to be afraid or put off the decision. After the operation, you realise you should have done it much sooner. Being able to see the world clearly really does change the quality of life. I wish everyone good luck, good health and nothing but positive experiences with their new, clear vision!

I highly recommend this clinic

My entire trip to Istanbul was well organised from the very start: the transfer from the airport to the clinic, the interpreter, and the competence of the staff and the doctor. I really appreciated that the doctor calmly and without any fuss explained what was going to be done and which procedure would be best for me. The interpreter was also very good; overall, the examination and operation went quickly (and painlessly). I highly recommend this clinic. For the money, you get good service and, above all, a high-quality operation. Thank you 🤩
The clinic is excellent – I highly recommend it. The staff take great care of their patients. The doctor is highly competent and provided a great deal of information about the treatment and rehabilitation. After a painless operation, my vision had already improved by the evening. A week has now passed and I am very satisfied; I’ve had no problems at all during this time, my vision is good and I’m happy. Thank you for everything))
