I then met Mr. Karaagacli at the health fair in St. Gallen. He explained everything to us in detail. At that time, a good friend of mine had her eyes lasered in Switzerland. So, I also inquired here in Switzerland about the procedure and how much it would cost. In hindsight, I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t do it in Switzerland. It is three times more expensive than in Turkey, and my friend is still not satisfied with the results 10 months after the laser surgery.<br\/>I can simply say that the stay in Turkey was short and painless. I had a prescription of -7.5 diopters. I wore daily contact lenses every day. When I wore glasses, my eyes looked so small. I thought to myself, either I do it now or never. I\u2019m 31 years old, and you could say \u201chalf-blind.\u201d That just can\u2019t be. Having my eyes lasered in Istanbul was one of my best decisions. The surgery was pain-free, and after the operation, my eyes watered for about 4 hours, and everything was very bright. I slept for about 3 hours in the hotel and then we went out for dinner. The next day, we admired the culture in Istanbul. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-baef362d wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medicaltravel.at\/home\/agb\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2191\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swisslasik.ch\/en\/patient-testimonials-about-laser-eye-surgery-experiences\/erfahrungsbericht-zu-meiner-laserbehandlung-mit-supracor-in-istanbul-bericht-vom-mittwoch-19-dezember-2012\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/swisslasik.ch\/augenlasern-lasik-erfahrungen\/erfahrungsbericht-zu-meiner-laserbehandlung-mit-supracor-in-istanbul-bericht-vom-mittwoch-19-dezember-2012\/\">Previous report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-container-content-5e2576f9\"><a href=\"https:\/\/medicaltravel.at\/home\/impressum\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2193\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/medicaltravel.at\/home\/berichte-von-patienten\/erfahrungsberichte\/erfahrungsbericht-zahnbehandlung-in-istanbul\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"981\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swisslasik.ch\/en\/patient-testimonials-about-laser-eye-surgery-experiences\/excellent-care-organization-a-fantastic-hospital-and-of-course-the-price-report-from-tuesday-november-6-2012\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/swisslasik.ch\/augenlasern-lasik-erfahrungen\/betreuung-organisation-sensationelles-spital-und-naturlich-der-preis-bericht-vom-dienstag-06-november-2012\/\">Next report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femto LASIK treatment in Istanbul \u2013 My experience \u2013 Report from Wednesday, November 14, 2012 I\u2019ve heard a lot about laser treatment in Turkey, so I researched online and came across SwissLasik.
