Cataract Surgery

Cataract Surgery

Istanbul

Cataract Surgery in Istanbul is available at 12 hospitals in the Voumed network.

Cataract surgery replaces the eye's clouded natural lens with a clear artificial intraocular lens, restoring vision in a short, painless outpatient procedure that is one of the most commonly performed and most successful operations in the world. When a premium multifocal or trifocal lens is chosen, the same operation can also let the patient see far, intermediate and near distances clearly and greatly reduce or remove the need for glasses afterwards. Patients often travel abroad for cataract surgery to reach experienced ophthalmic teams, the latest lens technology and the chance to have both eyes treated within a single short, well-organised trip. Because each eye takes only minutes and recovery is fast, it fits comfortably into a focused medical journey.
