Vitalis Global

International eye care, planned end to end.

Vitalis Global is the international health-tourism service of an eye clinic in Turkey, working with patients who travel from across Europe for treatment.

Assessment, treatment planning, travel and every conversation in between are coordinated in English, so care abroad stays one clear process rather than a set of separate arrangements.

Lens & laser

Lens and laser options, assessed for your eyes

Premium intraocular lenses and laser vision correction are two routes to the same question: what your eyes need, and what you want from them. Which route suits you depends on your measurements, your retinal health and how you spend your days. The assessment comes first, and every option is explained before anything is planned.

Retina

A careful conversation about retinal disease

Retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration differ in cause, in stage and in what can responsibly be discussed. We begin by reviewing your imaging and reports, then examine your eyes in person. Any supportive or experimental option is explained with its evidence and its limits, never as a cure and never as a predicted outcome.

How the process works

  1. Europe

    Remote pre-assessment

    Share the eye records you already have. The team reviews them and explains whether an in-person assessment is likely to be useful.

    See the full process

  2. In transit

    Travel and arrival

    If you decide to go ahead, your coordinator sets out the visit plan: appointment dates, what to bring, and how arrival works.

    See the full process

  3. Turkey

    Assessment and treatment

    You attend the planned examination and treatment appointments in Turkey, with communication and local logistics handled in your language.

    See the full process

  4. Turkey

    Before you fly home

    A final check is scheduled before departure, and you leave with written aftercare instructions and a copy of your records.

    See the full process

  5. Europe

    Follow-up from home

    You stay in contact with the team and share updates, and your local ophthalmologist receives a summary of the treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I communicate in English?

Yes. English-speaking coordination is available for the planning process and appointments, with translator support where needed.

Is it safe to have surgery abroad?

Every procedure has considerations and suitability must be assessed individually. Ask the clinical team about your specific situation before deciding to travel.

What can be included in the visit plan?

Depending on your needs, the plan can include clinical coordination, airport transfer, accommodation support and translation arrangements.

Across Europe, and in person

Vitalis Global keeps coordination offices in Europe, so the conversations before and after treatment can happen face to face, close to home. The examinations and the treatment itself take place at the clinic in İstanbul.
