About the clinic

ReLEx SMILE eye surgery is available at Veni Vidi Eye Clinics in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure typically costs around $2,000 for both eyes and uses advanced German Schwind ATOS laser technology. Dr. Fırat Helvacıoğlu, an ophthalmologist with 19 years of experience, performs this flapless laser vision correction.

About the procedure

ReLEx SMILE is an advanced form of laser eye surgery. It creates a micro-incision without flaps, reducing recovery time. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes total, with local anesthetic eye drops. Patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.

What's included

  • ReLEx SMILE surgery for both eyes
  • Pre-op examination and corneal topography
  • Online ophthalmologist consultation
  • VIP airport-hotel-clinic transfers
  • Follow-up examination next day

Clinic advantages

Veni Vidi Eye Clinics perform over 50,000 eye surgeries annually. They were the first laser eye treatment network in Turkey. The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification for quality standards.

Patients need to stay in Istanbul for at least 2 days. The package excludes accommodation and flights. A corneal thickness assessment determines suitability for the procedure.

- I'm still considering the alternative option I was offered and hope to go back to the clinic when I eventually make a decision

I went to Veni Vidi Goz Antalya for a laser eye surgery. Unfortunately I couldn’t do the surgery due to my thin cornea. However I had a great experience interacting with the staff. I got a detailed explanation on why I couldn’t do the surgery as well as possible alternatives. Dr Ugur Balci and Ania Sebai were amazing. I’m still considering the alternative option I was offered and hope to go back to the clinic when I eventually make a decision.
