See Clearly at Every Distance, From £1,920
Alcon PanOptix trifocal lens implant with 1 night in hospital, 3 nights in a hotel, airport transfers, and full aftercare included.
Imagine waking up and being able to read your phone, work on your laptop, and see clearly across the room, all without reaching for glasses. The Alcon PanOptix trifocal lens is designed to give you exactly that: sharp, natural vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, in a single procedure.
In the UK, trifocal lens replacement costs between £5,000 and £7,000 per eye privately, with waiting times that can stretch for months. With The Health Store Turkey, the Alcon PanOptix lens starts from just £1,920, saving you thousands while receiving the same premium technology used in leading UK eye clinics.
Your package covers everything: the procedure, your hospital stay, 3 nights in a comfortable hotel, airport transfers, and aftercare. Your patient coordinator arranges every detail so you can focus on what matters, your vision.
Nedir Alcon PanOptix Trifocal Lens?
What Is the Alcon PanOptix Trifocal Lens?
The Alcon PanOptix is a premium trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) that replaces your eye's natural lens. It is the world's first and only trifocal lens with ENLIGHTEN optical technology, designed to deliver clear vision at three distinct focal points: near (reading), intermediate (computer and dashboard), and distance (driving and television).
Unlike standard monofocal lenses that correct vision at only one distance, the PanOptix lens uses advanced light-splitting technology to focus light at 40 cm, 60 cm, and distance simultaneously. This means most patients achieve complete freedom from glasses for everyday activities.
The PanOptix is one of the most widely implanted trifocal lenses in the world, with millions of procedures performed globally. It is manufactured by Alcon, the global leader in eye care, and is the same lens offered by premium eye clinics across the UK and Europe.
The procedure is carried out through a tiny incision (typically 2.2mm) and takes around 15 to 20 minutes per eye. Most patients notice a dramatic improvement in their vision within 24 hours.
Uygun muyum?
Am I a Good Candidate?
The Alcon PanOptix lens may be right for you if you:
- Want freedom from glasses for reading, computer work, and distance vision
- Have cataracts that need removing (the PanOptix replaces your clouded natural lens)
- Have presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing on close objects, typically starting after age 40)
- Are tired of varifocals or reading glasses and want a permanent solution
- Have generally healthy eyes without significant corneal disease, glaucoma, or macular degeneration
The PanOptix may not be ideal if you do a lot of night driving in poorly lit conditions, as some patients notice mild halos around lights in the early weeks. These typically reduce significantly as your brain adapts to the new lens. Your surgeon assesses your individual suitability during your consultation.

What Happens During Your Treatment?
Before Your Procedure
Your patient coordinator arranges a free consultation where your vision is assessed and your suitability for the PanOptix lens is confirmed. You receive a clear treatment plan and price before you commit to anything.
Day 1, Surgery Day
You arrive at the hospital and meet your ophthalmologist. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia with light sedation, so you are comfortable and relaxed throughout. Your surgeon makes a tiny incision (around 2.2mm), removes your natural lens using gentle ultrasound, and inserts the PanOptix IOL. The entire procedure takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes per eye. You rest in hospital overnight for observation.
Days 2-4, Recovery in Turkey
You move to your hotel the following day. Your surgeon reviews your progress at a follow-up appointment. Most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision within 24 hours. You have time to rest and enjoy your surroundings while your eyes settle.
After You Fly Home
Your 12 months of aftercare begins. Your patient coordinator checks in regularly, and you can contact the team anytime with questions. You are advised to attend a follow-up with your optician at home at 4 weeks and 3 months.

Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from lens replacement is quicker than most patients expect.
Day 1: Your vision may be slightly blurry or hazy immediately after the procedure. This is completely normal. Most patients notice a clear improvement within the first 24 hours. You wear a protective eye shield overnight.
Week 1: You can return to most daily activities within a few days, reading, watching television, light cooking, and gentle walks. Avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, and heavy lifting. Use the prescribed eye drops as directed.
Weeks 2-4: Your vision continues to stabilise and improve. Most patients are driving within 1 to 2 weeks (once confirmed by your surgeon). Mild halos around lights at night are normal at this stage and typically reduce over the coming weeks.
Months 1-3: Your brain fully adapts to the trifocal lens. By 3 months, most patients report excellent vision at all distances with no glasses. Your aftercare team monitors your progress throughout.
Long-term: The PanOptix lens is designed to last a lifetime. It does not degrade, cloud, or need replacing. Once implanted, it is a permanent solution.

Risks and Considerations
Lens replacement is one of the most commonly performed eye surgeries in the world, with a strong safety record. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks to be aware of.
Halos and glare: Some patients notice halos or rings around lights at night, particularly in the early weeks. This is a characteristic of trifocal lenses and usually diminishes significantly as your brain adapts. For most patients, it becomes unnoticeable within 3 months.
Dry eyes: Temporary dryness is common after the procedure and is managed with lubricating eye drops. It typically resolves within a few weeks.
Infection: Very rare (less than 1 in 1,000 cases). Strict surgical protocols and post-operative antibiotic drops minimise this risk.
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO): In some patients, the capsule behind the lens can become slightly cloudy over time. This is easily corrected with a quick, painless YAG laser treatment, a 5-minute outpatient procedure.
Your surgeon discusses all risks with you in detail before your procedure and answers any questions you have.

What Our Patients Say
Real reviews from real patients. Their words, not ours.
"I can read, use my phone, and drive without glasses for the first time in twenty years. The whole experience with THST was seamless, from the consultation to the aftercare. Life-changing."
"I was quoted over six thousand per eye in the UK. THST arranged the same procedure with the same Alcon lens for a fraction of the price. The surgeon was outstanding and the hospital was immaculate."
"My patient coordinator was brilliant. Every question answered, every detail arranged. The surgery itself took about fifteen minutes and I could see clearly the next morning. Absolutely recommend."
Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Most patients achieve complete freedom from glasses for everyday activities including reading, computer work, and driving. In clinical studies, over 99% of PanOptix patients said they would choose the same lens again. A small number of patients find they still prefer reading glasses for very fine print or prolonged close work in dim lighting, but this is uncommon.
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia with light sedation, so you are comfortable and relaxed throughout. Most patients feel only gentle pressure and no pain at all. After the procedure, mild discomfort and a gritty sensation are common for a day or two and are easily managed with prescribed eye drops.
In most cases, your surgeon operates on one eye at a time, with a short interval between the two procedures. This allows the first eye to begin healing and gives your surgeon a chance to assess the result before proceeding with the second eye. Your treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs.
In the UK, trifocal lens replacement with the Alcon PanOptix costs between £5,000 and £7,000 per eye privately, and NHS waiting lists for cataract surgery can stretch to 6 months or more (with a standard monofocal lens, not trifocal). With The Health Store Turkey, the PanOptix lens starts from £1,920, with no waiting list. That is a saving of up to 55%.
The Alcon PanOptix lens is designed to last a lifetime. Once implanted, it does not degrade, wear out, or need replacing. It is a permanent solution to cataracts and presbyopia. The lens material (hydrophobic acrylic) is biocompatible and has been used safely in millions of patients worldwide.
