About the clinic
Cataract treatment at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul provides modern surgical solutions to restore clear vision. Surgery for one eye typically costs around $1,800–$3,000, while treating both eyes may cost around $9,000–$11,000. The JCI-accredited facility is known for using sutureless techniques and offering specialized lens options that help reduce the need for glasses.
Advanced diagnostics and consultations
Before surgery, patients undergo a detailed ophthalmology examination to assess the health of the eye. The clinic provides a preliminary consultation for smart lenses to determine if a patient is a good candidate for multifocal or trifocal options. This evaluation helps the surgeon select the most appropriate lens based on the patient's lifestyle and vision needs.
Surgical treatment options
The hospital uses the FAKO phacoemulsification technique. This method uses ultrasound to break up the cloudy lens, which is then removed through a tiny opening. Most procedures are performed under topical eye-drop anesthesia, avoiding the need for general anesthesia or injections.
Cataract surgery (one eye). This is the standard procedure to remove a cataract and implant an artificial lens. Prices typically run $1,800–$3,000.
Cataract surgery (both eyes). For patients with cataracts in both eyes, the surgical plan addresses both to balance vision. This option is around $9,000–$11,000.
Vitrectomy. This surgery treats complex cases involving the vitreous gel or retina. It is often necessary for advanced diabetic eye disease and may cost around $5,500–$7,000.
Intraocular lens varieties
During the procedure, the surgeon replaces the natural cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The clinic offers several types of lenses to improve visual outcomes:
Standard intraocular lens. These provide clear vision at a single distance, usually for driving or far-off objects.
Smart lens (Akıllı Lens). These premium lenses allow patients to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances.
Astigmatic/toric lens. These specialized lenses correct pre-existing astigmatism during the cataract procedure.

He showed me the endoscopy images and clearly discussed the plan and all the diet stages before the procedure
One of my biggest worries was whether ESG was truly the right choice for me. My surgeon immediately addressed this by being very honest about who is not a suitable candidate, which built a lot of trust. He showed me the endoscopy images and clearly discussed the plan and all the diet stages before the procedure. I'm in my early recovery, but I am feeling better than expected. The post-op support has been solid; the clinic stays in touch, is easy to reach, and provided a clear aftercare guide. The only additional cost was for medicine, as the protein drinks and vitamins at the clinic were far too expensive. My main piece of advice would be to ask them beforehand what specific protein to buy, because it’s hard to figure it out with the different writing on the labels.
Everything. dr was amazing. All his assistants, diaticians and staff organising my trip all we’re fantastic

Doctors at the highest level
PLUSES
Doctors at the highest level...professionalism, attention, responsibility felt during the whole stay...nothing unnecessary was said...no promises were made that could not be realised later...we were very satisfied with the results of their work....
Medical equipment may not be the latest models, but the penultimate certainly ...
The food is very tasty...
The facilities in the ward create a comfortable stay...
The location of the clinic is good... Many hotels of different categories within walking distance.....
MINUSES
The medical staff and service staff (cleaning of the ward) wish to be better...the clinic needs a little more review of the process of care of medical staff for patients...at night when the patient before surgery or after surgery should gain strength and rest, begins frequent going to the room...then the temperature to measure, then the pressure, then remembering about the drip to connect the next or remove the forgotten....
Another disadvantage is the proposal-proform with an indication of what services are included in the paid amount, and which are not ... I would like a more specific list...taking into account that the treatment plan has changed, the amount to be paid has also changed, and there is always a question whether it is paid or whether it is necessary to pay additionally...which causes inconvenience and worries "whether you have enough money"....
The general impression of the clinic was good...despite the disadvantages.....
Professionalism of the medical team
Nursing and housekeeping.
About Bookimed service
Very grateful to Stanislav...all questions were always answered in a short period of time..... any misunderstandings that arose were resolved quickly.....

She was on call 24/7, always answered in detail, politely and with great patience
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my coordinating doctor Yaroslava from the platform. She was on call 24/7, always answered in detail, politely and with great patience. Yaroslava even enquired about my impressions after my consultation with the doctor, which was very pleasant. Her responsiveness and support helped me to make an important decision.
As for the treatment and the doctor, it is too early to give a final assessment, as we are just starting to work. But I can already say that I chose Memorial Ataşehir Clinic and I was satisfied with the staff, the doctor, the interpreter and the clinic itself. I will definitely write a full review of the results later.
A reverent approach of the doctor, no rush, polite, smiling. And my doctor coordinator Yaroslava.
