About the clinic
Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey offers full-scope cataract care. Diagnostics like OCT imaging may cost around $210, while a basic consultation is about $130. Surgical options with a monofocal lens start at approximately $1,000 per eye, and premium trifocal lens surgery can be around $2,600. The clinic's 31-year lead surgeon performs over 1,000 cataract procedures.
Precise diagnostics determine the best treatment plan. The process includes several key tests:
- Ophthalmologist consultation for a thorough eye exam.
- OCT (Optical coherence tomography) for detailed retina imaging.
- Pentacam and Biometry to map the cornea and calculate the correct lens power.
- Blood tests and advanced imaging like brain MRI when needed.
Surgical Treatment Options
The standard method is phacoemulsification. This is a minimally invasive procedure. It uses ultrasound to break up the cloudy lens. The surgeon then replaces it with a new artificial lens. All surgeries typically use local anesthesia and allow same-day discharge.
Patients can choose from different intraocular lens (IOL) types:
- Standard Cataract Surgery with a monofocal IOL. This restores clear distance vision. Patients often need glasses for reading.
- Premium Cataract Surgery with a trifocal or multifocal IOL. This option can reduce dependence on glasses. It improves vision for near, intermediate, and far distances.
Experienced Surgical Team
Op. Dr. Faruk Eroglu, MD, leads the ophthalmology department. He has _doctor_2401_years_ of experience and has performed more than 1,000 cataract surgeries. His expertise includes over 15,000 advanced laser procedures. He is a graduate of Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine.

It was the right choice
What worried me most was the uncertainty and what the treatment plan would be. But my fears were put to rest after the very first consultation. The doctor was very attentive and explained everything in detail and calmly, which immediately put me at ease. I really appreciate that approach. All the staff at the clinic were responsive and supportive at every stage. The clinic itself made a good impression; everything is well organised. I am currently in the recovery phase and feel much calmer, having a clear understanding of the next steps. It was the right choice.
Everything was great

Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul for the high professionalism, attentiveness and care shown at every stage of my treatment.
I underwent hysteroscopic removal of several endometrial polyps, including one large one measuring 3 cm. Everything went perfectly - from the initial consultation to the surgery and post-operative care.
Special thanks to my doctor - Op. Dr Berna Buse Kobal. She inspired confidence from the very beginning, explained everything calmly and clearly, acted very carefully and confidently. After the operation I felt great, without pain or discomfort. The nurses and all the staff of the clinic were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere in the hospital is clean, modern, comfortable and absolutely safe.
I would also like to thank Julia, a Bookimed employee, who helped me with counselling and organising the trip. We made the decision literally at the last moment: we were informed from Dushanbe in the evening, flew out at night, and already in the morning I was in the clinic. Everything was organised perfectly - meeting, hospitalisation, surgery on the same day, and in the evening I was already relaxing in the hotel and feeling great.
Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work! 💐
I confidently recommend Hisar Hospital Intercontinental and Bookimed to all women who are looking for quality, fast and safe treatment abroad.
Promptness, value for money. Approach.
There's no such thing
About Bookimed service
Julia from bookimed and I were looking at several options. We voiced our budget and special requirements. After studying our wishes, she suggested this clinic. The next morning we were already at the clinic after the appointment had been decided promptly

the support from the surgeon and the whole team was incredible
My biggest fear before the operation was adjusting to my new life, especially when it came to eating. But the support from the surgeon and the whole team was incredible. The operation was performed laparoscopically, and a significant portion of my stomach was removed—around 75–80%. Of course, recovery is a process. At the moment, I can only eat 2–3 spoonfuls at a time, and the main difficulty is that food can get stuck, so I have to get used to eating differently. Despite this, my energy levels have already improved slightly. I’ve realised the most important thing: forget your old eating habits! This is a new life in a new body, where you become a culinary connoisseur rather than a mere consumer of food.
