I had been wearing glasses for years because I could not see far away comfortably. I came to Kudret Göz to have my eyes lasered. I was very satisfied with the treatment. My doctor gave very detailed information about the treatment, answered all our questions, and most importantly, gave confidence. The laser treatment was very short and I had no complaints after the surgery. The staff is friendly and caring. I recommend it to anyone who wears glasses.
