Our Surgeons
 All
of our surgeons are specialized in refractive surgery. They
have thousands of LASIK and Advanced Surface Ablation cases
experience. Since our mission at the clinic is to reveal
each eye's full visual capacity, our surgeons are dedicated
to optimal performance for the benefit of each patient. To
realize this goal we never accept more than 10 patients per
day in order to avoid any human and technical mistakes which
naturally occur in clinics that don't limit the number of
their patients. This clinic is a doctors-owned company and
we never push our surgeons to do surgeries on high-risk
patients. Their decisions are always based on what will
benefit their patients. That is why our patient satisfaction
level has no competition. You may trust any of our doctors
since we back them at this clinic. We provide written
warranties to our patients to cover them even in cases such
as when a doctor leaves, retires, or company policies change.
Furthermore our team of nurses and engineers has a wonderful
synergy with our doctors, which makes our Institute an
environment to enjoy for our patients. It is hard to believe
but some of our patients prefer to stay in our office to be
around us, instead of going sightseeing in one of the
world's most beautiful cities: Istanbul. Our team will
ensure that your trip is an enjoyable experience!
