Every Eye Is Different —
So Is Your Treatment

Each eye is unique. Our evaluation approach prioritises long-term visual quality and safe treatment choices.

Keratokonus
Special Interest

Keratoconus and Cross-Linking

Keratoconus typically begins in adolescence and can progress silently into the 40s. If left undetected, it may lead to corneal transplantation. Constantly changing spectacle prescriptions or persistent blurred vision can be warning signs. When cross-linking is applied in the early stages, disease progression can largely be brought under control.

Laser Surgery

Laser Refractive Surgery

Laser surgery for spectacle independence is not suitable for everyone. Performed without careful evaluation of corneal thickness, topographic maps and dry eye parameters, laser treatment can cause permanent visual problems. Correct patient selection is the single most important factor for long-term satisfaction — this decision should be made together, with the right data.

Cataract and Premium Lens

Expectation management and biometric precision are paramount in FAKO surgery and premium intraocular lens selection. As each patient's visual needs and lifestyle differ, trifocal, toric and EDOF lenses are planned with the correct indication and a personalised evaluation.

Corneal Diseases and Surgery

Corneal diseases often progress silently; ignoring symptoms such as burning, light sensitivity or blurred vision can worsen the condition. Spanning a wide spectrum from infections and dystrophies to surface disorders and transplant-requiring cases, early evaluation in this field opens significantly broader treatment options.

Phakic IOL (Implantable Contact Lens)

In high myopia where laser cannot be applied or the corneal structure is unsuitable, phakic intraocular lenses offer a safe and permanent alternative. The natural lens is left untouched, keeping future treatment options open. If your prescription is high and you are unsure about laser suitability, an evaluation may open new horizons.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma (Intraocular Pressure)

Glaucoma is a disease that silently and irreversibly damages the optic nerve. Once symptoms are noticed, the lost visual field cannot be recovered. Regular examination is vital for those over 40, with a family history of glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure — early diagnosis is the most powerful tool in treatment.

Education and Academic Journey

He completed his medical education at Dokuz Eylul University and his specialty training at Pamukkale University, where he subsequently attained the titles of Associate Professor and Professor.

The most important step that brought his academic journey to the international arena was at Vissum Ophthalmology Institutein Alicante, Spain. With one of the world's leading authorities in Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Prof. Dr. Jorge Alio this fellowship shaped his clinical vision on a global scale.

He subsequently visited the clinic of Prof. Dr. Massimo Businin Forlì (Italy), a pioneer in lamellar corneal surgery, and the centre of Prof. Dr. Suphi Taneriin Münster (Germany), a European reference in laser refractive surgery, consolidating his advanced field-based training. Prof. Dr. Dan Z. Reinstein and other leading figures in the world of ophthalmology, ongoing academic collaborations ensure the direct translation of current knowledge into clinical practice.

Frequently Asked

Your Questions

Is cataract surgery a difficult procedure?

With the modern FAKO technique, cataract surgery is most often performed without sutures. Success is directly related to proper guidance, precise planning and an experienced surgical approach.

Is laser eye surgery suitable for everyone?

No. Corneal structure, thickness, topography, dry eye level and certain systemic or ocular conditions may affect laser suitability. The decision must always be made following a detailed examination.

Can keratoconus progression be stopped?

Cross-linking, applied in suitable patients, is one of the most important options for slowing or halting keratoconus progression. Early diagnosis is critical in this process.

Can a multifocal lens be implanted in every patient?

Not always. Corneal structure, retinal health, intraocular pressure and visual expectations must all be evaluated before a premium lens decision can be made.
