About Istanbul, Turkey

ISTANBUL
Istanbul, bosphorus bridge an attraction point for many civilizations for centuries, nestles a unique historic and cultural heritage. The world famous Bosphorus, lying between not only two banks of the city, but two continents, hosts live examples of such a richness.

The leading historic values that place Istanbul in a peerless position among world metropoles belong to Byzantine and Ottoman periods while the history of human settlement in the city dates back 300,000 years. Istanbul itself is more like a giant outdoor museum with its palaces, castles, city walls, and museums. Still, current importance attached to Istanbul as a world city is not limited to its history.

This modern city has always been called "the country’s window to the west." The health industry proves this modernism. Thousands of internationally approved doctors operate at global standards in modern hospitals and medical facilities, with the hi-tech equipment used in developed countries. Turkey in general is a candidate to take place among the pioneer counties of medical tourism with high quality standards beside cost advantages.

City center

All the medical institutions VisitandCare.com cooperates with in Istanbul are located right in the heart of Istanbul, close in proximity to the entertainment, wining and dining, shopping and historic districts like Beyoglu, Nisantasi, Etiler, and Levent. The Historic Peninsula and banks of the Bosphorus are the two local destinations that should be visited during a typical daily tour in Istanbul. The city center is the best place to enjoy in your free time in Istanbul where you may feel the taste of both the east and the west embracing each other in a harmonious sense.

Reviews for Dünya Göz - World Eye Centers

I would like to go on record and state quite categorically that the help and advice I received from you personally and the reassurances from your "boss" reminded me of the old-fashioned way of "respect and courtesy for the customer" Thank you very much indeed. The same can be said of the Dunya Goz, the levels of professionalism shown by all levels of the staff gave one "a feeling of confidence and trust" I am fully satisfied with the advice I received and the subsequent treatment which even at this early stage seems to have given me some additional clarity of vision in my right eye. Prof. Dr Can Ustundag requested me to return in one month, this however would clash with New Year celebrations etc so I plan to re-visit probably mid-January. I have also reached a joint decision with my wife (based on the experience of treatment at Dunya Goz) that I will have a vatrectomy operation carried out on my left eye once I am satisfied that the right eye has improved sufficiently to allow me to risk this type of operation. Once again I thank very sincerely and send best wishes to you. Kind regards John
