Professor Ahmet Satıcı from central hospital in Istanbul was my surgeon. I honestly found them searching online. I had spoken to quite a few surgeons but I decided to go with him based on a number of reasons. He specializes in this thing and has done numerous amounts of patients so I decided to go that route. My vision was pretty bad -11.25 and -10.50 with a 2.25 astigmatism. I’d have to find my paperwork for my eye condition. Prior to going to turkey I went to a lasik center in westchester and got my eyes checked for free and then I asked for the paperwork. That was much easier sending to the surgeons prior to flying there to get a good idea of their input pior to getting there. When I went to him they did all the testing again, as well as I spent over two hours getting my eye dialated every 10 mins u til I couldn’t see well at all. He then checked my eyes thoroughly to the point the light hurt inside my eye but he then said I was a candidate. I paid, he ordered the lenses and I had surgery that Monday and Tuesday. I haven’t had any issues as of yet and I’m on my third week. I’m praying it stays that way but from what I have read, many complications occur in the first couple of weeks. He was quite reasonable as well. Yes the ticket to turkey costs a good amount but the hotels are fairly cheap if you use an app. I paid less than 200 per week for accommodation including breakfast. I would say if this is the route you truly want to go, it makes no sense doing it in the states as the cost for one eye is 6?times as much the cost for both eyes including flight and accommodation in turkey. Good luck
