Diagnostic Evaluation
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough eye exam. The hospital uses modern diagnostic technology. Available tests include:
- Consultation with ophthalmologist
- IOL Master measurement for precise lens calculation
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detailed retinal imaging
- Comprehensive eye examination
A full diagnostic set may cost around $500–$1,500. The IOL Master measurement itself is typically $450–$500.
Surgical Treatment Options
The primary method is phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive technique. It uses ultrasound to break up the cloudy lens. The surgeon then implants a new artificial lens, called an IOL. Hospital stay is usually one day as an outpatient. Recovery often takes 2–7 days.
Patients can choose from different lens types based on their vision goals:
- Phacoemulsification with monofocal IOL: This standard option provides clear vision for one distance, like far away. It may cost around $1,950–$2,370 per eye.
- Phacoemulsification with multifocal IOL: This advanced lens corrects vision for near, intermediate, and far distances. It aims to reduce dependence on glasses. The price is typically $2,500–$3,400 per eye.
- Smart lens (trifocal IOL): A premium option for complete visual freedom at all ranges.
- Scleral fixation surgery: A specialized technique for complex cases where standard lens support is not available. This procedure may cost around $7,400.
Treatment Packages and Support
Memorial Şişli offers bundled packages for convenience. A package for both eyes with multifocal lenses may cost around $5,800. It often includes surgery, lenses, consultation, and the IOL Master measurement.
A more comprehensive package is available for about $9,420. It typically covers a full physical exam, bilateral multifocal surgery, all diagnostics, and a one-day hospital stay. The hospital provides additional support like airport transfers and hotel booking assistance.
Patients interested in this accredited care can get a detailed consultation to plan their individual treatment.

The quality of the hospital service is second to none, with well-organised, highly competent services that are always available to patients.
Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model.
The hospitals are like luxury hotels, you feel good, you are looked after and followed throughout your stay.
Finally, the money I spent there was really justified.
Thank you to everyone who looked after me during my 14-day stay.
Of course I recommend Istanbul Memorial Hospital.

What surprised me most about my basalioma treatment wasn't the procedure itself, but the detailed skin examination I received. The surgeon was excellent. He made sure all removal options were discussed clearly, which was reassuring since I already had my diagnosis before arriving. Right now, the treated area is healing very well. While the medical care was superb and the clinic facilities are great, the administrative staff seemed a bit disorganized, which was the only downside. Despite that, based on the surgeon’s work, it’s a place I would suggest to others.
My Bookimed coordinator was highly skilled, had the passion and patience for her work and that translated to the numerous array of options provided to me to choose from based on my budget during the entire process.She interacted with me 24/7 just for us to have solution within my schedule. All information (proforma, visa assistance, travel guidance and estimated personal expenses) for the entire treatment were on point and I encourage all manner of persons seeking medical treatment abroad to choose Bookimed as their medical tourism partner.
1. Interpreter only come when the patient calls for his services and that is only during the day. If the interpreter can also support beyond the interactions with the specialist.
2. Airport and Internal movement are left to the patient to handle which can sometimes be a major challenge for some category of patients and given the language barrier.
3. Hospital discharges are very strict even if you the patient feels he/she need additional day(s) to be fit for a return to the hotel to continue the recovery.

My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely.
Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient.
I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment.
I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”.
My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Memorial Şişli Clinic. I underwent a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) on my left eye, and I now feel better than I had expected. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the coordinating doctor, Sergey, and Dr Abdallah ÖZCAYA for their expertise and responsible approach. I particularly remember how Dr ÖZCAYA personally checked on me after the operation — this gave me confidence and peace of mind. The clinic was always available, and there were no additional costs. A special thank you to the interpreter, Daniela, for her excellent translation and constant help with communication.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Medical Coordinator Serhii Kravetskyi for his prompt arrangements for my treatment at the Memorial Şişli Clinic.To Professor Dr Abdullah ÖZKAYA for his high level of professionalism and the successful keratoplasty operation. To the interpreter, Daniela Tecer, for her attentive support and excellent work.
