Eye Surgery (LASIK & Lens) is among the treatments UK patients most often travel abroad to access at a lower cost. Turkey has become one of the world's leading destinations for affordable, high quality medical care. The country combines internationally trained surgeons, more than 30 JCI accredited hospitals and prices a fraction of UK private rates, which is why it now draws over 1.4 million international patients a year.
Privately in the UK, eye surgery (lasik & lens) costs around £2,600 and is rarely available on the NHS. At an accredited clinic in Turkey, the same treatment typically costs about £900 all inclusive, a saving of roughly 65%. Prices usually cover consultation, eye scans, the laser or lens procedure, medication, a follow up check, hotel and transfers.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the trip for laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery is quick and most patients fly home after three to four days, once the first follow up check is done.
Am I suitable for laser surgery?
A detailed eye scan confirms whether LASIK, SMILE or lens surgery suits your eyes. Not everyone is suitable for laser, and lens options exist for those who are not.
When will my vision improve?
Most patients notice clearer vision within a day or two of laser surgery, with full results over the following weeks.

How much can I save on eye surgery (lasik & lens) in Turkey?
UK private prices for eye surgery (lasik & lens) are around £2,600, while an accredited clinic in Turkey typically charges about £900 all inclusive, a saving of roughly 65%. A personalised quote confirms the exact cost for your case.
