The Ophthalmology Department comprehensively carries out the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of all eye diseases seen in both children and adults with modern diagnostic methods, advanced surgical techniques, and an experienced specialist team. Many eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases, corneal diseases, strabismus, and refractive errors can be successfully managed with current treatment methods.
In our department, safe and effective treatment options are offered to patients by using advanced imaging systems, laser technologies, and microsurgical techniques. The aim is to protect visual quality, treat existing vision loss, and increase patients’ comfort in daily life.
Ophthalmology Department Services
The main diagnostic and treatment services offered in our Ophthalmology department are as follows:
Cataract Surgery
Cataract is a disease that occurs when the eye lens loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. It can significantly affect the quality of vision. During cataract surgery, the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. This procedure is completed in a short time and patients can usually return to their daily lives quickly.
Glaucoma (Eye Pressure) Diagnosis and Treatment
Glaucoma is a silent disease that can cause damage to the optic nerve as a result of increased intraocular pressure. If untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
Within the scope of glaucoma management:
- Intraocular pressure measurement and visual field tests
- Medication treatments
- Laser applications
- Surgical interventions
methods such as these are applied to keep the disease under control.
Retinal Diseases
The retina is a layer that plays a critical role in the visual function. Retinal diseases include conditions that can lead to serious vision loss.
The main retinal diseases treated include:
- Retinal detachment
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular degeneration (Yellow Spot Disease)
- Epiretinal membrane
- Macular hole
In the treatment of these diseases, laser applications, intraocular drug injections, and vitreoretinal surgical methods can be applied.
Corneal Diseases and Corneal Transplantation
The cornea is the transparent layer located at the front of the eye and plays an important role in visual quality. In corneal diseases, medication treatment, laser applications, or in advanced cases corneal transplantation can be applied.
In addition, in diseases such as keratoconus:
- Keratoconus diagnosis and treatment
- Crosslinking (corneal strengthening treatment)
modern methods such as these are used.
Refractive Surgery and Laser Eye Treatments
Laser surgery offers an important option in the treatment of refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Laser methods applied:
- Excimer laser
- I-LASIK
- PRK
- No-Touch LASIK
Thanks to these methods, patients can achieve clearer vision without the need to use glasses or contact lenses.
Intraocular Lens Applications
Intraocular lens applications can be applied especially after cataract surgery or in special cases in order to improve visual quality.
Main lens applications:
- Iris Claw Lens
- Sulcus IOL
- Scleral fixation lens applications
These lenses undertake the function of the natural lens and allow patients to obtain better visual quality.
Strabismus and Amblyopia Treatment
Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are not parallel as a result of the eye muscles working in an uncoordinated way. Amblyopia occurs when one eye sees more weakly than the other.
Treatment options:
- Glasses or prismatic lenses
- Occlusion therapy
- Orthoptic exercises
- Strabismus surgery
Early diagnosis significantly increases the success of treatment, especially in children.
Pediatric Eye Diseases
Early diagnosis of eye diseases seen during childhood is of great importance.
Within the scope of pediatric eye diseases:
- Congenital cataract
- Strabismus
- Amblyopia
- Nasolacrimal duct obstruction
diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as these are carried out.
Tear Duct Diseases
Obstruction of the tear duct can cause constant watering and infections in the eyes.
Procedures applied within this scope:
- Diagnosis and surgical treatment of tear duct obstruction
- Treatment of congenital tear duct obstruction in infants
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Drooping eyelids or excess skin formation can cause both aesthetic and functional problems.
With blepharoplasty (eyelid aesthetics), excess skin and fat tissue are removed, allowing both the visual field to expand and a younger appearance to be achieved.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
In our department, comprehensive eye examinations are performed for both adults and children.
Methods used in diagnosis include:
- Visual acuity tests
- Slit-lamp biomicroscopy
- Retinal imaging
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Visual field tests
- Corneal topography
are included.
Recommendations for Protecting Eye Health
The following recommendations are important to protect eye health:
- Having regular eye examinations
- Using UV-protected sunglasses
- Resting the eyes during computer and phone use
- Eating a balanced diet and consuming enough water
- Consuming foods containing Omega-3 and Vitamin A
- Paying attention to contact lens hygiene
Early diagnosis and regular check-ups are among the most important factors in preventing the progression of eye diseases.
