1 clinic in Ankara, Turkey offering SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction). International price range $2,000–$4,500 USD.
SMILE (small-incision lenticule extraction) is a femtosecond-only refractive technique that preserves corneal biomechanics by avoiding a flap, with a learning curve that limits availability to higher-volume refractive centres. In Turkey, the relevant providers are concentrated in Istanbul and Antalya; verification of the operating clinician's licence with the named regulator is the foundational due-diligence step. Confirm that the operating surgeon's annual SMILE volume justifies the choice over LASIK; verify the proprietary Carl Zeiss laser is available at the clinic.
