Most dentists and opticians have trained abroad....usually the states and the level of care is very good. generally the prices are good..i have a full clean and de scale for 25 YTL and it took 30 mins...very thorough.
I bought specs, designer frames, reactive lenses for under a 100 quid.

As chelsea boy says you can get good service here and at a fraction of the UK rates best to get a recomend from another expat regards the service, if any one wants a dentist in Antalya I can recomend Fuat Mutlu in GullukCaddesi who is very good- doesent speak any english but dont let that worry you as we can find an interprter if you need one. Smile!!!

Greetings to a fellow Couch Potato,

I can recommend an excellent Dentist in Bodrum. He is called Hassan and is based at the Karia Medical Clinic which is on the main highway between Bodrum and Gumbet opposite the BP Garage.
You will find the costs are much cheaper than in the UK and the standard of treatment is excellent. I know a lot of Ex-pats living in Bodrum go to Karia Medical and I only hear good reports.

I have never needed glasses before so I don't know the gointg rate.
