I wasn&#8217;t yet a glasses wearer, but constantly needing reading glasses for text messages, price tags, reading the newspaper, and much more severely limited my quality of life. I decided to have laser eye surgery in Istanbul. My friend, who lives in Istanbul and encouraged me, was a great support. Her daughter, mother, and even her little nephew (who was two months old at the time) had laser eye surgery at the same clinic with great success. So I decided on Turkey. I then came across SwissLASIK. I can highly recommend this organization. Mr. Karaagacli gave me excellent information and arranged an appointment for me. We arrived at the hospital very punctually. The clinic is in a beautiful location with a view of a mosque. The hospital made a great impression on me. Very clean. The Acibadem Hospital is very professionally run. The preliminary examinations started soon after. It simply takes a lot of time. This should definitely be factored in. We arrived at the clinic at 8 a.m. and didn&#8217;t leave until 6 p.m. But this time is necessary. Don&#8217;t get impatient or nervous. It&#8217;s worth it. Today I feel like a first-grader who&#8217;s just discovered reading. It&#8217;s so much fun to distinguish a 10-cent coin from a 20-cent coin, and to read the smallest print. I&#8217;m incredibly grateful that I can see 100% again. Yes, I can even see the tiniest speck of dust. The operation was very successful. I felt a little uneasy during the surgery. I couldn&#8217;t see the center or understand what they meant. But the others had the same experience. If this happens to you, pay attention to the green dot. After the operation, I couldn&#8217;t open my eyes for about an hour. I had a lot of tears. Otherwise, I didn&#8217;t feel any pain or burning. After I could open my eyes again, I felt absolutely wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Mr. Karaagacli, for organizing this for us. You&#8217;re doing an incredibly great job here. Thank you very much and all the best for your future.
