About the clinic

Valued Med Hub Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey provides comprehensive care for retinoblastoma. This eye cancer treatment service offers a spectrum of options. Diagnostics may cost around $150 for consultation, with advanced packages around $2,000–$4,500. Laser and cryotherapy typically run $3,500 per session. Major surgical procedures, like a complex vitrectomy, are around $9,000. The clinic's care is led by Associate Professor Muhammed Derda Ozer, a specialist with 15 years of experience and over 900 procedures.

Diagnostic Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is the first step. The clinic performs a full assessment to determine the tumor's size and stage. This involves several key tests under one roof.

Ophthalmologist consultation: A detailed initial examination.
Examination under anesthesia: Crucial for children to allow a thorough eye exam.
Imaging tests: Includes Ocular Ultrasound, CT scans ($190–$350), and MRI ($230–$310).
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): A detailed imaging of the eye's blood vessels.

A complete diagnostic package is available. It combines CT, MRI, FFA, and ultrasound. This package typically costs between $2,000 and $4,500.

Available Treatment Options

The medical team tailors therapy to each patient. They use the latest methods to preserve vision. Treatment plans are designed to be as minimally invasive as possible.

Intra-arterial chemotherapy: This is a targeted approach. Medicine is delivered directly to the eye's artery. It can require up to six sessions if the tumor does not shrink. Hospitalization is usually not needed.
Laser therapy and cryotherapy: These are common outpatient treatments. Laser photocoagulation uses heat to destroy small tumors. Cryotherapy freezes tumor cells. A session for either method costs around $3,500.
Vitrectomy with silicone injection: This is a surgical option for advanced cases. It repairs retinal detachment. The procedure to remove silicone and inject new oil is around $9,000.

I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process

Communication was great. I was picked up from the hotel, transfered to the hospital, and accompanied by Adam (translator) through the journey. He knew exactly the intake process and what they would want. He was well organized and very friendly. The consultant spoke English and was very calm, and professional. I had femto iLasik which was without complication. Pre-op my prescription was -7. Day 0 post op, I could still see but with blurry vision. Day 1 post op, my vision is now 20/20. But eyes feel gritty but hopefully will ease in a few days. I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process. I would highly recommend Turkey for medical tourism. It's affordable and a beautiful clean city to visit as well. Stupendous experience.

I recommend bookimed

My husband and I traveled from New Zealand to both get eye lens replacement surgery. From the start we have had print and effient communication. With every question answered. We were picked up from the airport, taken to hotel, then the same day at our request taken to the hospital for our appointment. Two days later we were in having eye surgery again with pick ups and drop offs. We were met at the hospital entrance, by bookimed.com translators and hospital translators they were amazing every day, in every way. The doctors were provisional and onto it, explaining every detail, and answering all our questions. Our procedure went very well and we are very happy with the outcome and how amazing we can see, no longer with glasses or contacts. I recommend bookimed.com to everyone. Vikki

It’s so world changing to be able to see clearly again!

Overall, the experience was very much worth. It’s so world changing to be able to see clearly again! The cost was so much better than in the US, and I was also able to get the lens I wanted that is not available in the US yet. Other than a false assumption about where my hotel was located, and the drivers having difficulty finding me, the only perimeter went pretty smoothly. I’m happy with the outcome. I would only suggest that there be at least one nurse or medical staff besides the doctor who speaks English. Many more paranoid, or less traveled Americans would have a hard time going through that honestly. I feel the service is very worth iit overall, those are just some recommendations to make the service excellent and a no-brainer for Americans who need medical procedures.

Dear Scott, Thank you so much for choosing VMH Hospitals and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your vision correction was successful and that you are happy with the outcome. Your positive feedback about our cost-effective services and the availability of lenses not yet offered in the US means a lot to us. We do apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the hotel location and the difficulty our drivers had in finding you. We will work on improving these logistical aspects to ensure a smoother experience for future patients. Regarding your suggestion about English-speaking medical staff, we fully understand the importance of effective communication, especially for our international patients. We will take your recommendation into consideration and explore the possibility of having more English-speaking nurses or staff available to make the process even easier and more comfortable for our non-Turkish-speaking patients. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we are committed to continuously improving our services to provide the best possible experience. We truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestions. Thank you again, and we wish you continued good health and happiness! Best regards, VMH Hospitals
