About the clinic
Photorefractive keratectomy, specifically the TransPRK method, is a laser vision correction surgery available at Valued Med Hub Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. This clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate and accreditation from the Turkish Medical Association. The procedure is a flapless alternative to traditional laser surgery, making it a popular choice for patients with thinner corneas.
The TransPRK Method
TransPRK stands for transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy. Unlike other laser methods, it does not require a surgical blade or a flap to be created. The laser treats the surface of the eye directly. This approach reduces the risk of flap-related complications and is often safer for active individuals. At Valued Med Hub Hospitals, the medical team follows a specific safety protocol where each eye is operated on a separate day. This helps manage the recovery process more effectively for each eye.
Personalized Care and Surgeon Continuity
Patient care is organized so that the same surgeon manages the entire journey. This includes the initial consultation, the actual surgery, and all follow-up visits. Having one dedicated doctor helps maintain a clear understanding of your medical history. The clinic is officially authorized to treat international patients, which helps with the coordination of visits and medical documentation.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-operative care is vital for achieving the best vision results. Patients receive a detailed aftercare guide to follow during their stay in Istanbul and once they return home. Key recovery steps include:
- Medication: Use prescribed eye drops daily for one full month.
- Physical Activity: Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for several weeks.
- Eye Protection: Do not rub the eyes to prevent irritation or damage to the surface.
- Follow-up: Attend scheduled check-ups to monitor the healing of the corneal surface.

What I particularly valued was the continuity of care from the surgeon
If you're researching laser eye surgery, the small details of the process are what matter. I opted for the TransPRK procedure. The clinic's protocol involved operating on each of my eyes on separate days, which I viewed as a careful and methodical approach to the surgery. What I particularly valued was the continuity of care from the surgeon. They personally handled every single one of my checkups, from the first consultation to all the follow-up appointments, ensuring I was seeing the same expert throughout. That was important. As I'm still in the early recovery phase, having a clear aftercare guide has been essential, and the one provided was very comprehensive. From a practical standpoint, every aspect of the service, including the surgeon, the support staff, and the clinic environment, was well-executed and professional.

Overall I have to give the bookimed team a top rating
The staff at Bookimed from the initial off-set answered all my questions, queries promptly.
I was nervous with feelings swaying about my treatment. Upon arrival in Turkey from the airport transfer onwards, I have got to say all doubts were a contrast as to what I witnessed and to the treatment I received.
On the first day the hotel staff were welcoming by the way I stayed local to VMH University Hospital Istanbul Besyol, at a budget I chose the World Point Hotel 700 meters away (Ramada Hotel was even closer.) I'm not arguing with what I paid, hygiene, cleanliness, manners, availability of staff, room, I got and witnessed.
The transfer to the Hospital l walked with my translator, who put all my nerves and questions I had to bed, I must say I felt alot better.
On arrival I was astounded, the smell of freshness, clean, I had to ask the translator how many floors 9 was the reply, Big, busy different ethnicities different cultures, vast array of people from all parts of the world, I felt comfortable.
The level of equipment, the Doctors, staff members would not go amiss in any Country.
The treatment I received the interaction which you have with the Doctor was of great effect to me as the knowledge about my treatment gained was instrumental in what was to happen.
Overall I have to give the bookimed team a top rating. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of surgery abroad of any kind to get in touch with them, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you.
