About the clinic
Optimed International Hospital in Tekirdag, Turkey, offers modern solutions for cataract treatment. Patients can start with an online consultation for around $70 or a pre-surgery diagnostic package for $200–$300. The facility holds AACI accreditation and uses ultrasound-based techniques to restore clear vision.
Diagnostic services for cataracts
The clinic provides a one-day diagnostic service to assess the severity of the cataract. Specialists use tools like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and eye ultrasound to examine the internal structures of the eye. A standard pre-surgery evaluation typically runs $200–$300. The following diagnostic tools are available:
- Autorefractometer examination. This test determines the refractive error of the eye automatically.
- Tonometry. This procedure measures the internal pressure of the eye.
- Biomicroscopic examination. Doctors use a slit lamp to see detailed images of the eye tissues.
- Corneal topography. This mapping technique creates a detailed three-dimensional map of the cornea.
- Fundus examination. A specialist checks the retina and back of the eye for other diseases.
Cataract surgery methods
Op. Dr. Ayhan Akbıyık, an ophthalmology specialist and board member at Optimed Health Group, oversees the eye care department. The primary treatment offered is phacoemulsification, which is the gold standard in modern eye surgery. This method uses ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy lens before removing it through a small incision.
- Phacoemulsification. This technique uses ultrasound for precise cataract removal and helps shorten recovery time.
- Eye ultrasound. This tool helps the surgeon plan the procedure by measuring the eye's shape and size.

If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator.
The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.
