Eye surgery review
This review is the experience I had. After a long search of clinics I decided to do my laser eye surgery at Eyestar . I contacted them and they answered all my questions in a very timely manner. I booked my surgery in for the 28th of January 2024 . You see on the ads that people can go touring Istanbul the next day but, sadly not all cases are like this. All staff are friendly and I have no doubt in the surgeons ability . However, I do feel I was let down by eyestar. On the Monday morning I went to get examined and was told I was not suited for the normal lasik as my cornea was to thin . However, can have no touch surgery which I believe is commonly known as PRK . This surgery is similar to the lasik however , they put contact lenses in to help the cornea recover. I was told that I will be in pain for 2 days and my recovery will be slower. So no touring Istanbul for me ! I went a head and as everyone says the surgery is done with care and no pain was felt . As soon as I got up my vision was clear . Sadly, this didn’t last long . About 30 mins later my contact lenses fell out . I felt them slide of and told one of the staff . Their comment was ‘ it’s not possible and rushed me back of a minibus. Shortly after I lost my vision completely. I was scared that something went wrong and I have been blind . About 40 mins later the vision came back thank god . 2 days after my surgery I went back and the surgeon who performed my surgery was shocked that I didn’t have contact lenses in . They put in another one and was told to take them out 4 days later . I was seeing fine and sadly when I took these lenses out my vision went worse . I struggled to read anything . When contacting eyestar explaining this I was told I was coming up to a age that I need glasses this is what properly happened. They assured me with in a month I will get my vision that I had while wearing glasses. At present I can see large texts and do feel my vision will be great once healed. However, do feel angry that I was listen to when I raised a concern. The point of this review isn’t to discourage anyone from coming here but, please be mindful some cases will not be able to go of touring Istanbul like they say. I made the mistake of coming alone don’t do that as after the surgery there is no after care like you would have in your own country.
