How Much Does Keratoplasty Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Keratoplasty in Turkey typically costs from AUD $5,802 to AUD $9,864. Final prices depend on the surgical technique, such as DMEK or DALK, and the specific clinic tier in Istanbul. Patients save around 41% by travelling from Australia, where the average cost is AUD $13,346. Packages usually include corneal topography, specialist consultations, surgical fees, and VIP airport transfers.

  • Surgical technique: Advanced methods like DMEK or DALK typically add 20–30% to the cost.
  • Hospital accreditation: JCI-accredited facilities in Istanbul often charge 15–20% more than regional clinics.
  • Donor tissue logistics: Sourcing complexity and tissue preparation can influence the final surgical quote.
  • Combined procedures: Adding cataract or glaucoma surgery will increase the total package price.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Australian patients find high value in packages from high-volume specialists like Dr. Muhammet Derda Ozer. One such package costs approximately A$11,200. It covers the procedure, a 5-day hotel stay, and comprehensive diagnostics like ultrasonography and corneal topography. Choosing JCI-accredited centres like Memorial Şişli Hospital provides additional quality assurance through internationally recognised safety audits. This makes the trip worthwhile for complex eye surgeries.

IURIE • Keratoplasty
Moldova
20 June 2026
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Memorial Şişli Clinic. I underwent a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) on my left eye, and I now feel better than I had expected. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the coordinating doctor, Sergey, and Dr Abdallah ÖZCAYA for their expertise and responsible approach. I particularly remember how Dr ÖZCAYA personally checked on me after the operation — this gave me confidence and peace of mind. The clinic was always available, and there were no additional costs. A special thank you to the interpreter, Daniela, for her excellent translation and constant help with communication.

"You have wonderful employees, prosperity and all the best!" Return: "About the doctor: "Doctor A
The clinic has a welcoming atmosphere, but the wait for each appointment and an interpreter is sooo long. Doctor A. Ozkaya proved himself to be a professional, answered all our questions, the corneal transplant operation for my one-year-old child was rather quick and effective at the moment. We came across a very polite and excellent Bookimed coordinator Jan, he helped on any even minor issue, contacted the clinic, helped absolutely with everything! You have wonderful employees, prosperity and all the best!
