About the clinic

ReLEx SMILE eye surgery at Liv Bona Dea Hospital Baku in Azerbaijan is a modern way to fix vision issues. This procedure uses a femtosecond laser to correct myopia and astigmatism with high precision. The clinic is known for its JCI accreditation and a 100% compliance rate with international health safety standards.

Advanced Laser Vision Correction

ReLEx SMILE stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. This method is minimally invasive because it does not require a large flap in the cornea. Instead, the laser creates a thin layer of tissue called a lenticule inside the eye. The surgeon removes this through a tiny opening. This approach helps keep the eye surface stronger than older methods.

Patients often choose this procedure for its specific benefits:

  • Fast visual recovery allows most people to return to daily life within a few days.
  • The small incision reduces the risk of dry eye symptoms after surgery.
  • The procedure helps those with myopia and astigmatism see clearly without glasses.

Specialized Medical Expertise

The ophthalmology department at Liv Bona Dea Hospital Baku features experienced specialists. Uzm. Dr. Kurtuluş Yıldız has over 20 years of experience in the field. He completed his residency at a major education and research hospital in Istanbul. His long career provides a deep understanding of eye health and patient care.

Uzm. Dr. Əhməd Abdullayev also works at the clinic and specializes in laser surgeries like Femto-LASIK, PRK, and SMILE. He has over 10 years of experience and is an active member of the Turkish Ophthalmological Association. Uzm. Dr. Abdullayev has also published research on glaucoma and retina health.

Recovery and Patient Support

The hospital operates with 150+ beds and a dedicated department for international patients. This team helps with travel needs and support during your stay in Baku. Because the clinic is part of the Liv Hospital brand, it follows strict medical protocols used by top-tier facilities.

After the surgery, patients follow a simple recovery plan. You will need to use prescribed eye drops and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. It is important to avoid heavy exercise for a few days. The clinic schedules regular follow-up visits to check your progress and help you get the best results. To learn more about this procedure, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

Liv Bona Dea Hopital and staff are wonderful! The hospital is clean and modern. The nurses are kind and professional. My surgeon, Dr. Ceyhun Isayev, answered all my questions and did a great job in every way. I have been in hospitals in the USA and in Turkey - Liv Bona Dea was a far superior experience! They have an "international patients department" which I learned about AFTER my stay. I am sure that would be helpful for those who do not know the local language. I highly recommend Liv Bona Dea and Dr. Ceyhun Isayev!

Great doctors and great service. I had ACL broken and meniscus issue on left knee. Doctor Elxan Qasimov fixed both issues in one operation and I am feeling much better now.

I don’t want to wait in line if I call two days in advance to get an appointment to “the best hospital of the country”. It’s 2025 and they still can’t arrange the queue.

The worst clinic you could possibly go to. The doctors don’t know even the most basic things, and the staff is completely incapable of scheduling even a simple appointment. And when they do manage to schedule one, you get absolutely nothing from it—just unqualified personnel who are not competent for anything. An absolute disaster of a clinic.
