How Much Does Trabeculotomy Cost in Turkey?

Trabeculotomy in Turkey typically costs from $1,500 to $2,500. The final price depends on the surgical technique, the complexity of the glaucoma case, and whether the procedure is for an adult or an infant. Patients save around 67% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $6,000 on average. Standard packages in Istanbul often include ophthalmologist consultations, local anesthesia, and pre-operative diagnostic tests.

  • Pediatric trabeculotomy: $1,500 to $2,500 for specialized infant glaucoma care.
  • Main medical hubs: Major centers are located in Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, Bursa, and Izmir.
  • Advanced packages: Typically cost 40-60% more when including 4-star hotel stays and VIP transfers.
  • Combined procedures: Trabeculectomy or laser additions may increase the base price by 20-30%.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a specialized eye network like Dunyagoz or Veni Vidi offers high-volume expertise. These clinics serve up to 66,000 patients annually and hold TÜV NORD ISO certifications. For complex cases, choosing a professor like Ahmet Satici, who has performed over 20,000 surgeries, ensures top-tier clinical results. Some Istanbul clinics provide 5 days of 4-star accommodation within a $6,400 package.

FAQ about Trabeculotomy in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

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.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

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.
