yes, they wanted my missus to go to Izmir with an interpreter and stop overnight to have lazer surgery, for both eyes. cost minimum of 5,000TL. We would have had to pay ALL costs.
Went to the Esnaf, she had cateracts taken off of both eyes and cost 2,500TL, and the service was 1st class.
Wouldn't go there again although I am led to believe it has got a lot better
