Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a vision correction surgery. It’s offered in Thessaloniki, Greece. A consultation with Dr. Dervenis costs 70 EUR. This clinic provides expert ophthalmologic care with a 4.4/5 patient rating.

PRK can help you reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It reshapes the cornea to improve how light enters your eye. This leads to clearer vision. The clinic in Thessaloniki offers this procedure as a way to improve your eyesight.

What to Expect with PRK

PRK is a type of laser eye surgery. It's a good option for people who aren’t suitable for LASIK. During PRK, the outer layer of the cornea is removed. Then, a laser reshapes the cornea. Your cornea will heal naturally after the procedure.

What’s Included

Online video consultation with an ophthalmologist

Please note that accommodation and airport transfers are not included in the consultation price. You'll need to arrange these separately if needed.

Before your consultation, the clinic requires you to forward your diagnostic tests. This allows Dr. Dervenis to review your case thoroughly.

To learn more about PRK and discuss your vision correction options, consider scheduling an online consultation. Dr. Dervenis and the clinic team can help you explore if PRK is the right choice for you.

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.

I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic

I would like to mention the professionalism and attentiveness of the consultant Liana - she did a great job! I was also pleasantly surprised by the clinic's service. I was met at the airport at night, picked up from the hotel in the morning and brought to the clinic. Payment was quick and in 20 minutes I was accompanied by an interpreter who was a real professional. In just two hours I had a full examination, and already at 14:00 the operation took place. I bore it easily - I was able to go for a walk in the evening. My eyesight started to improve, although it still takes time to fully stabilise. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic

It's just an incredible feeling!

From the first consultation to the postoperative period, everything was organised at the highest level! The first thing that pleasantly surprised me was the modern equipment and the high level of professionalism of the doctors. Before the operation, I underwent a detailed diagnosis, which helped to determine the best method of correction for my case. The doctor explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and dispelled my doubts. The operation was quick and painless! It took only 10-15 minutes, and my quality of life changed forever. During the procedure, the doctor constantly explained what was happening, which helped me to relax. After the correction, I was given all the necessary recommendations and medicines for a quick recovery. I especially want to note the comfort and attention of the staff. From the moment I arrived until my last visit, I felt in good hands. Everything in the clinic is very clean, modern and well thought out. A few days after the operation, my vision improved significantly, and now I can see perfectly without glasses or lenses! It's just an incredible feeling! If you are hesitating, do not hesitate! I sincerely recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to have laser vision correction in a comfortable environment and with the best doctors. This is an investment in your health and quality of life!

My doctor Ibrahim Yasar was a true professional! From the first consultation, he inspired confidence with his experience, attentiveness and calmness. ✅ He explained the whole process in detail - I got answers to all my questions, and this helped me get rid of the excitement before the operation. ✅ Individual approach - he chose the best method of laser correction for my case. ✅ High level of skill - the operation was quick, painless, and the result is just great! ✅ Support after the procedure - the doctor provided detailed recommendations for recovery and monitored my condition in the postoperative period. I am very grateful to him for the excellent result! This is a doctor whom you can trust with your eyesight without any doubts

About Bookimed service

Bookimed is the best choice for medical tourism! I recently contacted Bookimed to have laser vision correction in Istanbul and I want to share my invaluable experience. If you are looking for a reliable partner to organise a medical trip abroad, don't hesitate - this is the best choice! From the very first contact, I was impressed by the almost round-the-clock support. The Bookimed team is always in touch, answering all questions and helping at every stage. I especially want to mention the manager Adam - an incredibly friendly, patient and professional person. He not only found me a clinic and a doctor, but also explained all the nuances of the operation, took into account my wishes and reassured me when it was necessary. One of the main advantages of working with Bookimed is the expert approach to choosing a doctor and a correction method. I was matched with the best specialist in Istanbul, who had excellent reviews and many years of experience in laser correction. At the same time, the price was lower than if I had gone to the clinic directly! Another important point is the full support with an interpreter. At every stage, I had access to a professional translator, which made communication with doctors and staff as comfortable as possible. The organisation of the trip was thought out to the smallest detail: ✔ Selection of a clinic and a doctor based on my budget and wishes. ✔ Free transfer, even at night - I was met at the airport and brought to the hotel. ✔ Choosing the best price and payment method - I could choose any convenient payment format. Access to any city and country, not just one option. The transaction was successful, and the whole process was comfortable and stress-free thanks to Bookimed's clear organisation. I am sincerely grateful to the company for their care, professional approach and honesty. If you are looking for the best doctors, the best prices and full support, Bookimed will be your reliable guide to the world of quality medicine! I recommend it 100%!

In general, I can safely recommend this clinic for such procedures, the attending doctor and Bookimrd service

My impressions of the trip were extremely positive. From the organisation of the trip with the manager Ekaterina, to the transfer to the airport. I had the operation on the day of my arrival. I was accompanied by an interpreter at all stages. The procedure itself was quick and painless. The attending doctor Dr İBRAHİM YAŞAR was very pleased. Competent specialist, pleasant and communicative. After the operation I had two more days for recovery. The ward was very comfortable and clean, the staff was friendly and attentive. 3 meals a day. In general, I can safely recommend this clinic for such procedures, the attending doctor and Bookimrd service.

Competence of doctors, attentiveness of staff. Work of the interpreter. Quick solution of all organisational issues.

Slight delay in receiving invoices and documentation. Minor errors in completion.

- I'm still considering the alternative option I was offered and hope to go back to the clinic when I eventually make a decision

I went to Veni Vidi Goz Antalya for a laser eye surgery. Unfortunately I couldn’t do the surgery due to my thin cornea. However I had a great experience interacting with the staff. I got a detailed explanation on why I couldn’t do the surgery as well as possible alternatives. Dr Ugur Balci and Ania Sebai were amazing. I’m still considering the alternative option I was offered and hope to go back to the clinic when I eventually make a decision.

And the clinic, staff, treatment and support were at the highest level

I liked everything except the meeting at the airport, we waited more than an hour for the transfer. And the clinic, staff, treatment and support were at the highest level.

Translator Tetiana helped with any questions, even when I needed medicine for my throat, she called a pharmacist who brought the medicine directly to the ward. When I needed sunglasses (after correction, they were needed), she took me to the optician and helped with the selection and translation.

"I RECOMMEND UNIFORMALLY !!!"Return: "About the doctor: "Doctor of the aphthalmologist Belma Karini, I can only recommend, golden pens!" "About the clinic: "The clinic is new, the wards are very clean and comfortable

Everything went at the highest level. In the beginning, there were inconsistencies in the organization, which were immediately resolved for the benefit of the client, that is, me. Doctor of the aphthalmologist Belma Karini, I can only recommend, golden pens! The result of the operation exceeded all expectations not only of mine, but also of the doctor. Special thanks to the translator Dinara, she will not forget anything, she will organize everything, everything is clear and harmonious with her. The clinic is new, the wards are very clean and comfortable. I would say the Chambers are more like a luxury hotel suite. Everything in the shower glistens with towels, shampoos, etc. I RECOMMEND UNIFORMALLY !!!
