At Laser Istanbul Clinic, laser treatment starts from {{\u00a3 price}} for both eyes, including your examination, surgery, medication, check-ups and interpreter; hotel and transfers are extra.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does laser eye surgery cost in the UK?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Typical published 2026 UK prices are \u00a32,590\u2013\u00a36,500 for LASIK on both eyes, \u00a31,150\u2013\u00a35,900 for LASEK or PRK and \u00a33,990\u2013\u00a37,500 for SMILE. Many UK clinics quote per eye, so double the headline figure for both eyes. The NHS does not usually pay for laser eye surgery.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the LASIK eye surgery price range in the US?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The US national average for LASIK is about $4,492 for both eyes, or $2,250 per eye, according to the Refractive Surgery Council; our market research found typical advertised US prices of $4,000\u2013$6,000 for both eyes. Prices vary with the technology used and your prescription.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is laser eye surgery so much cheaper in Turkey?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Mainly because healthcare costs less to run in Turkey, not because the lasers or methods are different. Eye surgeons in Istanbul use the same laser platforms as Western clinics. Differences in what is bundled into the price, and per-eye versus both-eye quotes, explain the rest of the gap.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is your price per eye or for both eyes?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Our laser prices are for both eyes. If you need treatment on one eye only, ask for a single-eye quote: {{single-eye price}}.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are hotel and airport transfers included?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Hotel and airport transfers are a separate charge, and flights are not included. We are happy to book a hotel ({{nights}} nights, from {{hotel price}}) and transfers ({{transfer price}}) for you if you ask, or you can arrange your own.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can the price change after my examination in Istanbul?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Only if your examination shows that a different method suits your eyes better, and you agree to it before surgery. Your surgeon explains why, and the new price is confirmed in writing before treatment. If laser surgery is not suitable for you at all, you won't pay for an operation you don't need.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is a re-treatment included if I need one?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"{{enhancement \/ re-treatment policy: whether a top-up treatment is included, for how long, and what you would pay for travel}}. Ask any provider this question before you compare prices, because policies differ widely.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does insurance pay for laser eye surgery?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Usually not. The NHS does not usually offer laser eye surgery, German statutory health insurance does not pay for it, and US vision plans and FSA\/HSA accounts vary. Check your own policy before you book.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need travel insurance?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, and tell your insurer you are travelling for treatment. The NHS advises making sure you have appropriate travel insurance and informing your insurer about planned treatment abroad, because standard policies may not cover it.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I get an exact quote?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Send your glasses or contact-lens prescription and any recent eye reports through our free consultation form or WhatsApp. Prof. Dr. Sat\u0131c\u0131 or Op. Dr. Bayram reviews your details and sends a written quote, with no obligation.\"}}]}<\/script><\/section>\n<!-- FAQ (FAQ accordion) End -->\n\n\n<!-- List (Link chips by topic) Start -->\n<section class=\"tools\"><div class=\"container-fluid px-0\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"col-12\"><div class=\"tools-inner pad\">\n\t\t<div class=\"sec-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t48\" data-reveal>Related pages and tools<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tool-grid row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-2 row-cols-lg-4\" data-stagger><div class=\"col\"><a class=\"tool h-100\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/laser-suitability-test\/\"><span class=\"tool-tag t22\">Quiz \u00b7 2 min<\/span><h3 class=\"t32\">Am I suitable for laser eye surgery?<\/h3><p class=\"t22\">Take the 2-minute quiz.<\/p><span class=\"tool-go\">Take the quiz <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"col\"><a class=\"tool h-100\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/eye-tools\/cost-calculator\/\"><span class=\"tool-tag t22\">Calculator<\/span><h3 class=\"t32\">Treatment cost and savings calculator<\/h3><p class=\"t22\">Turkey vs home.<\/p><span class=\"tool-go\">Calculate <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"col\"><a class=\"tool h-100\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/eye-tools\/astigmatism-test\/\"><span class=\"tool-tag t22\">Test<\/span><h3 class=\"t32\">Free astigmatism test<\/h3><p class=\"t22\">Spot uneven focus before you speak to a surgeon.<\/p><span class=\"tool-go\">Start the test <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"col\"><a class=\"tool h-100\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/laser-eye-surgery-turkey\/\"><span class=\"tool-tag t22\">Pillar<\/span><h3 class=\"t32\">Laser eye surgery in Turkey<\/h3><p class=\"t22\">Methods, suitability, recovery and risks.<\/p><span class=\"tool-go\">Back to laser eye surgery <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"note-groups\" data-reveal><div class=\"note-group\"><span class=\"note-label\">Before you decide<\/span><div class=\"note-links\"><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/doctors\/\">meet our eye surgeons <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/reviews\/\">read patient reviews and video stories <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/how-it-works\/\">see how it works, from WhatsApp to surgery to home <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/eye-surgery-packages\/\">eye surgery packages: what&#039;s included <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/prices\/\">price list: all eye treatments <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"note-chip\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/turkey-vs-home-cost-comparison\/\">Turkey vs UK, Germany and USA cost comparison <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow-ur\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<!-- List (Link chips by topic) End -->\n\n\n<!-- Call to Action (Assessment band) Start -->\n<section class=\"cta-band\" id=\"assessment\">\n\t<div class=\"contact-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span><\/span><span><\/span><span><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cta-inner pad container-fluid\"><div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-7\"><div class=\"cta-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t64\" data-reveal>Get your exact laser eye surgery price, free<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"t22\" data-reveal>Upload your prescription and any eye scans.
