C3-R - Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin Istanbul

Looking back at photos from before my hair transplant at Medical Art Turkey (almost 10 months ago!), I'm so glad I took the plunge. Not only has it boosted my confidence, but the entire experience at the clinic was fantastic. The doctors were highly skilled, and the aftercare support was excellent. Highly recommend!

I am a doctor who is working with the NHS in the UK. I am 43 years old and had myopia for 34 years. I also had astigmatism and presbyopia for the past two years. My myopia was around -7.5 and my presbyopia was near + 1 for both eyes. I was struggling to read books and also in my work. On top of that, I started having headaches. I had used contact lenses but it was quite cumbersome to use. Even though a doctor, I thought that LASIK was only for myopia and my eyes won't fit in for that. This was partly due to a doctor's advice 10 years before I got that LASIK only works for myopes. But I found more information from the internet and I checked the prices in the UK and it was quite high. I found out that similar procedures were available in Eastern Europe and Turkey. I found a few clinics from the what-if clinic website. Nisantasi had contacted me through one of their representatives in the UK who gave me quite reliable information about the different types of LASIK. I was soon convinced about the procedure and the doctor because the person who gave me the information had undergone LASIK at Nisantasi. That was quite reassuring for me although my friends in the UK tried to dissuade me due to uncertainty of medical treatment in Turkey. But I made up my mind as the information provided to me was more than marketing. Even though it was covid the hospital was much concerned about my arrival. I had a smooth landing in Turkey and I was astonished by the hospital which displayed state of the art cleanliness. I do agree that only a few of them could handle fluent English. But they were quite efficient in relaying necessary information and getting consent from me. The eye doctor, Oktay Kumral, was a very cool person who made me feel at ease and to my surprise, he had practised ophthalmology in the UK. The ophthalmology techs were charmingly nice to behave and supportive at their best. The procedure Presbyopia LASIK smart laser eye treatment was done within a few minutes and I had redness and irritation for 6 hours. But the eye drops relieved a major part of my discomfort. My distant vision was okay that evening that I could stroll through Istanbul that night. The next day I even visited the blue mosque. I had bought an extra pair of eyedrops as I traveled back to UK. But my near vision hadn't improved and I was finding it hard to read my phone. In the next three months my eyes went through a lot of changes. I had intermittent blurring and I was scared about my eyes. But the representative in the UK reassured me that all these changes happen and it may take at least 6 months to stabilise. Today almost 110 days have passed and I am quite pleased to tell you that my near vision has also become normal and I am typing this message from my android phone. My suggestion for you is to have two or three pairs of +1, +2 glasses as it may take some time for your near vision to improve. This will help you for a few days in the near vision till it gets sorted. In almost 2 months my near vision was 90% okay. Also, buy a set of eyedrops extra as you may have itching 2-4 weeks after the procedure. I am so thankful to all the staff at Nisantasi and I can confidently vouchsafe the LASIK procedure which is the best with regards to price and quality. They do what they tell!

I would like to send a thousand thanks to the clinic. Come see göz, Dr. Sunay Ertansi Prof.Dr. Remzi Karadag for the successful cataract surgery, and the experience they showed throughout the operation. We also thank the staff of the clinic and Miss Anastasia for the kindness, respect and interest that was given to us from the first minute of contact with the clinic. We recommend this clinic with the most confidence.

I have been suffering from my reduced vision. That is to say that I had to wear contact lenses and glasses for approximately six years. I finally decided to do the Eye surgery in Turkey for a perfect price, also a very excellent treatment done by both the surgeon and his assistants! I have done the so-called " PRK / Lasek" surgery since the surgeon decided upon doing it because of my thin cornea. As noticed the results went absolutely fine and you could pretty much rely upon the treatment. I felt sure that the doctors are most familiar with the procedures and everything they do. Excellent. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Since I don't speak Turkish, they were very friendly toward me. I would certainly recommend this Medical treatment for anybody suffering from his/her vision. I have received eye drops after I have done my post controls. I have been in the hospital for a few times for a recheck up for my eyes and their development after the surgery. I was guided by Emre Altin. A very kind, helpful gentleman who did his best to satisfy me and help me with the translations since I don't speak Turkish. I was treated by Dr Hanefi Cakir and Erdinc Ceylan. I would definitely recommend this clinic highly by their kind and excellent medical treatment! I have been told much about the medical treatment in Turkey. A few other members have done the eye surgery in this clinic. I got to know some stuff about it. I also got highly recommended by others and wanted to have a visit to Istanbul to do the surgery. I got pleased with the services and recommendations. They were really prompt to help me. Their webpage " MedicTurkey" is also very informative about each and every procedure. But always ask and they will help you a lot. Until now I am very satisfied with the results. Though my eye is not 100% healed yet It will probably get better by these three months as the doctor advised me to use the eye drops.
