Cataract surgery (one eye) in Memorial Ataşehir Hospital
The medical center is a Bookimed Official Partner. Thus, we arrange treatment for international patients as a hospital representative with no intermediaries and extra charges.
About the clinic
Cataract surgery for one eye at Memorial Ataşehir Hospital in Istanbul uses the advanced FAKO method to restore clear vision. The clinic is JCI-accredited and part of the Memorial Healthcare Group, providing international safety standards for every patient. This procedure focuses on replacing the cloudy lens with a new intraocular lens to improve visual clarity.
Advanced FAKO Technique
The hospital uses sutureless phacoemulsification, commonly known as the FAKO method. This technique uses ultrasound waves to break up the cataract. Doctors then remove the pieces through a very small incision. Because the incision is tiny, it does not need stitches. This leads to a faster recovery and a quicker return to daily activities. The procedure focuses on one eye at a time to track progress and healing.
Intraocular Lens Options
Patients can choose from different types of intraocular lenses based on their vision needs. The hospital offers smart lenses and astigmatic lenses. Smart lenses help patients see at multiple distances, which can reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Astigmatic lenses help correct pre-existing blurred vision caused by the shape of the eye. A free preliminary consultation is available for those interested in the smart lens option.
Ophthalmology Experts
A team of experienced ophthalmologists manages the eye care department. This team includes Prof. Dr. Ayşe Yeşim Oral and Prof. Dr. Dicle Hazirolan. They work alongside Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kemal Arıcı and Prof. Dr. Yaran Koban. These professors specialize in ophthalmology and handle the surgical planning for each patient. They help select the most suitable lens based on individual preferences and eye health.
