How Much Does Cataract surgery (both eyes) Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Cataract surgery (both eyes) in Turkey typically costs from AUD $1,837 to AUD $3,392. The total price depends on the chosen lens technology, the surgeon's experience, and whether you select an all-inclusive medical package. In Australia, similar procedures cost around AUD $7,208 on average, meaning patients save approximately 63% by travelling. Standard packages usually include pre-operative eye examinations, intraocular lenses, surgeon fees, and VIP transfers.

  • Monofocal lens surgery: typically costs between 15% and 25% less than premium trifocal options.
  • Trifocal lens surgery: represents a premium choice for clear vision at all distances without glasses.
  • Laser-assisted cataract surgery: usually adds a 20–30% premium over the standard manual phacoemulsification technique.
  • Clinic hub variations: primary medical hubs include Istanbul and Antalya, where most specialised eye centres operate.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Australian patients find high value in packages that bundle advanced diagnostics with premium lenses. For instance, packages starting around A$4,300 often include EDOF lenses and 5-star hotel stays. Clinics like Dunyagoz Eye Hospital Istanbul Etiler treat 66,000 patients annually, offering massive clinical experience. Experienced specialists like Dr. Muhammet Derda Ozer, who has performed 25,000+ procedures, provide additional peace of mind for complex refractive cases.

It was a very good experience for us and we are grateful for the treatment provided
It was a very good experience for us, and I will use this service in the future if necessary. All the answers to my questions were given. Everything is very organized. They have their own counter at the airport, where they arranged a transfer for us and brought us comfortably to the hotel. We were accompanied everywhere. The price of the service was as agreed in advance. There were no additional payments. I only spent money on my husband's eye drops at the pharmacy, but they're sold at affordable prices. The hospital is very modern, it's a large complex, there's a university nearby. The hospital has a special department for dealing with foreign clients. We didn't run, we weren't looking for anything, Mustafa was with us all the time and made arrangements for everything himself. There were a few days between the diagnosis and surgery, and we managed to book several tours of Istanbul. It helped us relieve the tension of worrying about the surgery. My husband has an agimatism, he got the best lenses in the world that exist right now. These lenses were made specifically for the parameters of his eye. It's been less than a week since the surgery, but my husband says he can see some things even better than he had with glasses before. The rehabilitation is not over yet, he has to drip eye drops on schedule for a month, take care of eyes, and don't lift heavy things and rub eyes. The doctors have done their job, now a lot depends on how clearly my husband adheres to the doctor's recommendations. It was a very good experience for us and we are grateful for the treatment provided.

Thank you very much and I will recommend this clinic to everyone I know
I was very satisfied with the result of my treatment at the clinic. Everything was done well, starting with the pick-up from the airport, the escort and the very polite attitude towards me. Any of my needs were well met, the translation was clear and the communication with the doctor was very informative. The doctor and his whole team did their job very professionally. I am very impressed and pleased with the outcome. My treatment was very quick, professional and comfortable. Thank you very much and I will recommend this clinic to everyone I know.

I was blown away by how professional and eager to assist the staff were
I had lens replacement and cataract surgery and was blown away by how professional and eager to assist the staff were. It was followed up by Bookimed a week later since Id returned home. They even refunded me some of my original payment even though I hadn't requested it as they found an error on the calculations. I know it's concerning to travel and have operations but from my experience you truly have nothing to worry about. I will definitely look at further surgery via this company and hospital.

And of course, a big thank you to Anastasia, an employee of the Bookimed website ❤️
I am very pleased that I made my choice and trusted the doctor, Professor Abdullah Ozkaya. It was this doctor who inspired confidence at our first meeting, was attentive, and answered all questions clearly and correctly. The clinic did not play any significance for me when choosing. Before that I was in 3 other clinics. But the doctors in those clinics did not inspire confidence in me. I think every person should find their own doctor. And a lot depends on the translator, how correctly he will translate everything. In other clinics, translators were incompetent. And of course, a big thank you to Anastasia, an employee of the Bookimed website ❤️

"Thank you Anastasia from Bookimed
I contacted the clinic via Bookimed.com before arrival and supplied them with my medical reports. They picked me up from the airport and sent me to my hotel. I requested having eye lens laser replacement asap so I can go back home a week after the operation. I arrived at the clinic early morning and was received by Anastasia, a health assistant supporting the patients and helping with the translation. I did all the pre operations test and then met with Dr. Remzi Karadag. He checked my test results and performed more tests, then confirmed my suitability for the operation. I had one eye operated on same day and the other eye the next day. I was issued with eye drops and information on how to look after my eyes during convalescence. A week on, so far so good. I am not using glasses anymore but full restoration of vision will take a month or maybe more. Thank you Anastasia from Bookimed.com and Anastasia and Dr. Remzi from Veni Vedi for the treatment and proffesionality
