About the clinic
Veni Vidi Eye Clinics in Istanbul, Turkey offers a full spectrum of cataract care. Diagnostics like ophthalmoscopy may cost around $88, while comprehensive surgery packages typically start around $2,343. The clinic is led by Dr. Fırat Helvacıoğlu, a surgeon with 22 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed.
Dr. Helvacıoğlu is an ophthalmologist specializing in cataract and refractive surgery. He trained at Wills Eye Hospital in the US and is a member of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. His extensive practice focuses on precise, minimally invasive techniques.
Diagnostic Process
Before surgery, patients undergo a thorough eye examination. This ensures the correct surgical plan and lens choice.
- Ophthalmoscopy and corneal pachymetry to assess eye health.
- A comprehensive eye examination package including vision assessment.
- Pre-operative consultations and any necessary blood tests.
A full diagnostic consultation with pre-op tests is around $200.
Treatment Options
The clinic provides advanced surgical solutions. All procedures use the latest phacoemulsification systems.
- Phacoemulsification with Monofocal IOL: This is the standard cataract surgery. It uses ultrasonic waves to break up the cloudy lens. A monofocal intraocular lens is then implanted. The procedure takes about 8 minutes per eye and is done with topical anesthesia. Patients typically go home the same day.
- Cataract Surgery with Premium IOL Replacement: This option uses advanced lens technology. It can correct other vision issues alongside the cataract. The package includes 4 days of outpatient care in Istanbul.
- Multifocal IOL Implantation: This procedure corrects both cataract and age-related presbyopia. It uses foldable acrylic lenses to provide a range of vision. This can significantly reduce dependence on glasses after surgery. The package for both eyes includes airport transfers and language support.
Surgery with a monofocal lens for one eye costs around $2,343. Premium or multifocal lens procedures for both eyes range from about $2,600 to $7,000, depending on the lens technology. The clinic reports a 99% success rate for these painless outpatient surgeries.
The JCI-accredited clinic handles over 50,000 patients yearly. Their integrated approach covers everything from initial tests to post-operative follow-up. Contact the clinic to discuss which cataract treatment option is right for you.

It was the best decision to come to this clinic
I would like to express my gratitude to the clinic. I had my eyesight corrected with the help of No touch laser, which I had been suffering from since childhood. I am very grateful to the doctor, she is a master of her craft! And the coordinator Ivanna, who organised everything perfectly. It was the best decision to come to this clinic.
It's very quick.

I recommend it to everyone!
Everything was great! Accessible and high quality counselling from the coordinator Tatiana at Bookmed!
Tatiana put me in touch with the interpreter Olga from Special Veni Vidi Eye Health Centre Veni Vidi Göz Caddebostan
On the first day I had a quality examination and on the same day I had a lens replacement surgery in one eye.
The operation was performed by a wonderful doctor with many years of experience, a professional in her field - Sultan Kaya Unsal.
The operation lasted about 6 minutes (for the 1st eye), the 2nd eye was done the next day in 4 minutes 32 seconds!
The process was painless and stress free.
Today, more than a week after the operation, I can see perfectly, read and write small print! No discomfort ! The recovery process is ongoing!
Thank you very much for your labour and competence!
I recommend it to everyone!
Everything is very high level!
Loved it all!
About Bookimed service

Dmitrii • Consultation with an ophthalmologist Hungary

If we do have laser correction, I think we will come back to this clinic
Everything was done quickly and professionally. Everything was explained in an understandable way. Everything was done. Offered an additional service for which they did not charge extra, although we were not aware that this could also be included in the price. Did not impose any further services. Told us objectively what could be done and what could not be done. In the past they always tried to impose operations on us, scaring us with the consequences. But here everything was clearly described and it was explained that the operation was not necessary at all. That is, they didn't try to sell us an extra one. If we do have laser correction, I think we will come back to this clinic.
Professionalism. Not imposing additional paid services. Russian-speaking support. Everything was quick. And the doctor also spoke excellent English.
A bit more toilets:). The women's one on our floor was occupied for a long time.

Overall, we are pleased with both the trip and the attitude of the medical staff towards us
I really liked the entire organization of my treatment, starting with the search and offer of a clinic, the organization and coordination of the trip itself. The coordinator from Bookimed, Tatyana, was always in touch and answered all our questions on time. Upon arrival at the airport, we missed (through no fault of our own) the taxi that was supposed to take us to our already reserved hotel. But Tatyana was able to coordinate all the actions so that we easily got to the hotel. Later we called our medical coordinator from the “Veni Vidi” clinic, Olga, who was in touch with us all the time, both during the consultation with Dr. Firat HELVACIOGLU, and during treatment (keratoconus). Olga was ready to translate our conversation (Turkish-Russian languages) with the doctor, but since Doctor Firat speaks excellent English, in which it was more convenient for me to communicate, there was no need for translation. Overall, we are pleased with both the trip and the attitude of the medical staff towards us. We express our gratitude for all this to both Tatyana and Olga. But, as the Doctor informed us, the final results of the treatment will be clear in approximately three months, Alikhon Mamatov
Kind attitude and explanation of Doctor Firat HELVACIOGLU, and coordinator of the Veni Vidi clinic, Olga.
This didn't happen

"Thank you Anastasia from Bookimed
I contacted the clinic via Bookimed.com before arrival and supplied them with my medical reports. They picked me up from the airport and sent me to my hotel. I requested having eye lens laser replacement asap so I can go back home a week after the operation. I arrived at the clinic early morning and was received by Anastasia, a health assistant supporting the patients and helping with the translation. I did all the pre operations test and then met with Dr. Remzi Karadag. He checked my test results and performed more tests, then confirmed my suitability for the operation. I had one eye operated on same day and the other eye the next day. I was issued with eye drops and information on how to look after my eyes during convalescence. A week on, so far so good. I am not using glasses anymore but full restoration of vision will take a month or maybe more.
Thank you Anastasia from Bookimed.com and Anastasia and Dr. Remzi from Veni Vedi for the treatment and proffesionality
