Cataract surgery (both eyes) in Turkey typically costs from $1,300 to $2,400. The total price depends on the chosen intraocular lens type, such as monofocal or trifocal, and the surgeon's expertise. Patients save around 80% compared to the US, where the average cost is $9,500. Standard packages in Istanbul and Antalya often include preoperative biometry, surgeon fees, luxury hotel stays, and VIP transfers.
- Monofocal lenses: Typically the most affordable option for correcting distance vision.
- Trifocal or "smart" lenses: Designed to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.
- EDOF lenses: These enhanced depth of focus lenses offer a seamless range of high-quality vision.
- Laser-assisted surgery: Using femtosecond laser technology typically adds 20-30% to the base surgical cost.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a high-volume center like Dunyagoz, which treats 66,000 patients annually, ensures massive surgical experience. Many Turkish clinics offer superior value by bundling premium Alcon or Zeiss lenses into all-inclusive packages. For example, some packages priced around $4,750 include 5-star accommodation and VIP transport. This allows patients to access top-tier technology and JCI-accredited safety without the typical Western price tags.
