European Eye Patients Prefer Turkey for Treatment

World Eye Hospital Chairman Gulferi Yildirim stated that they dealt with an agency in Europe for foreign patients to be operated on in Turkey. Noting that these operations cost 5,000 euros in Europe but only $1,500 in Turkey, Yildirim said they operated utilizing the latest laser technology.

Yildirim said they received a great deal of requests from Europe and that they aimed to bring 40,000 tourists a year to Turkey for eye operations under the auspices of the health tourism campaign launched by the World Eye Hospital.
