How Much Does Strabismus surgery Cost in Turkey?

Strabismus surgery in Turkey typically costs from $1,100 to $1,900. The final price depends on whether one or both eyes require correction, the surgical technique, and the clinic tier. Patients save around 67% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $4,500 on average. Most Turkish ophthalmology packages include preoperative eye exams, general anesthesia, medications, and local transfers between the airport and clinic.

  • Single eye correction: Typically costs less than bilateral surgery, with basic hospital packages starting around $3,000.
  • Bilateral surgery: Correcting both eyes in one session typically requires a budget starting around $4,000.
  • Revision procedures: Repeat surgeries for complex cases or prior failures generally command a 10-20% price premium.
  • Medical hubs: Most specialized eye centers are located in Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, and Izmir.

Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume eye centers in Istanbul offer exceptional value through specialized infrastructure. For instance, Veni Vidi Eye Clinics and Dunyagoz Hospital serve over 50,000 patients annually. Choosing a package with a dedicated ophthalmologist like Dr. Ahmet Satici, who has performed over 20,000 surgeries, ensures elite expertise. Some premium packages even include 5-day stays in 4-star hotels for approximately $4,000.

About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
