Medical Areas of Interest

As an ophthalmologist, it is my priority to assist you with all aspects of eye and vision health. My expertise encompasses diagnosing, planning treatment for, and performing surgical interventions when necessary for a wide range of diseases affecting the eye and visual system.

Some of the areas I specialize in, which are particularly related to eye health, include:

  • Myopia (Nearsightedness): Inability to focus on distant objects clearly.

  • Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Inability to focus on nearby objects clearly.

  • Astigmatism: Blurry vision at both near and far distances due to the eye focusing light at different angles.

  • Presbyopia: Age-related reduction in the ability to focus on nearby objects.

A decrease in vision due to clouding of the eye's lens.

A disease often associated with increased intraocular pressure that can cause optic nerve damage and vision loss.

  • Macular Degeneration (Age-related Macular Disease): A disease affecting the central part of the retina, typically seen in older adults.

  • Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the retina caused by diabetes.

  • Retinal Detachment: Separation of the retina from its underlying tissue.

  • Retinitis Pigmentosa: A hereditary retinal disease.

  • Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea becomes cone-shaped and bulges forward.

  • Corneal Infections: Infections of the cornea caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.

  • Corneal Dystrophies: Inherited conditions that affect the cornea.

  • Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelid.

  • Dry Eye: Insufficient or poor-quality tear production.

  • Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye).

  • Ptosis: Drooping of the eyelid.

  • Tear Duct Obstruction: Blockage of the tear ducts.

Diseases related to the optic nerve and visual pathways.

  • Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): A condition where the eyes do not align properly.
    Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
  • Other eye diseases that occur in childhood.

Inflammation of one or more layers of the eye’s inner structures.

  • Eye injuries and their treatment.

Surgical Areas of Interest

It is my pleasure to offer you the most advanced eye surgical treatment options available through current medicine and technology to help protect and improve your eye health. The surgical treatment of eye diseases covers a wide range, from common conditions like cataracts to the correction of refractive errors and serious retinal issues. These treatments play a significant role in restoring your vision and enhancing your quality of life.

With my expertise and experience, the primary areas of eye surgery I offer include:

Refractive Surgery (Eyewear-Free Surgery)

  • LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): One of the most commonly used laser eye surgeries, where a flap is created in the cornea and laser is applied to reshape it.

  • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): A procedure where the corneal surface epithelial layer is removed, and laser is applied to correct vision.

  • LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis): A combination of PRK and LASIK procedures.

  • SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A minimally invasive method where tissue is extracted through a small incision in the cornea.

  • Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation: In this procedure, the natural lens is left in place, and an additional artificial lens is implanted inside the eye.

These methods are used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Cataract Surgery

  • Phacoemulsification: This technique involves entering through a small incision to break up and suction out the cloudy lens using ultrasound waves, followed by the insertion of an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This method is the gold standard for cataract treatment.

Glaucoma Surgery

Various surgical procedures are performed to lower intraocular pressure and slow the progression of glaucoma. Techniques include trabeculectomy, tube implantation, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).

Retina and Vitreous Surgery

  • Vitreoretinal Surgery: A series of surgical techniques used to treat retina and vitreous diseases such as retinal detachment, macular holes, vitreous hemorrhage, and diabetic retinopathy. These surgeries are performed under a microscope using specialized instruments.

Corneal Surgery

  • Corneal Transplantation (Keratoplasty): A procedure where the patient's cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea. Different types of transplants exist, such as full-thickness corneal transplant or lamellar keratoplasty.

  • Corneal Cross-Linking: A treatment used to halt corneal shape deformities such as in keratoconus.

Oculoplastic Surgery

Surgical procedures related to the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial tissues. Conditions treated include eyelid ptosis (drooping eyelid), entropion, ectropion, tear duct obstructions, eye tumors, and aesthetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Other Eye Surgery Procedures

  • Strabismus Surgery: The correction of strabismus (crossed eyes), caused by imbalances in the eye muscles.

  • Pterygium Surgery: Removal of tissue that grows from the white part of the eye (sclera) toward the cornea.

Our Ophthalmic Diagnostic Methods

Your eye health is of great importance to me. Therefore, I work diligently to ensure that any issues related to your eyes are accurately diagnosed, and the most suitable treatment options are determined for you. The diagnostic process for eye diseases is not just about one test; it involves a holistic approach that combines communication with the patient, a thorough physical examination, and the evaluation of various advanced techniques.

When necessary, based on this evaluation, we may resort to additional tests and imaging methods that provide more detailed information.

These tests are carefully selected and applied based on the specific needs of the patient.

Eyelid Examination

  • Conditions such as swelling, redness, drooping (ptosis), and abnormal positioning (entropion, ectropion) of the eyelids are examined.

Eye Movement Examination

  • The function of the eye muscles and the coordination of the eyes are evaluated.

Conjunctiva Examination

  • Redness, swelling, discharge, and other abnormalities of the white part of the eye (sclera) and the inner surface of the eyelids (conjunctiva) are investigated.

Cornea Examination

  • The transparency, shape, and smoothness of the corneal surface are evaluated.

Pupil Examination

  • The size, shape, light reaction, and symmetry of the pupils are examined.

Anterior Chamber Examination

  • The depth and clarity of the fluid-filled space at the front of the eye (anterior chamber) are checked.

Iris and Lens Examination

  • The color, shape of the iris, and the transparency of the lens are evaluated.

Visual Acuity Test

  • One of the most common eye tests, where the patient is asked to read specific letters, numbers, or symbols from different distances to determine visual clarity.

Refractive Examination (Glasses Prescription)

  • The best prescription for the patient's visual acuity is determined. Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism are detected using special devices (phoropter, retinoscope) or computer-assisted systems (autorefractor).

Intraocular Pressure Measurement (Tonometry)

  • The pressure of the fluid inside the eye is measured. This is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma (eye hypertension).

Biomicroscopic Examination

  • The structures of the front and back segments of the eye are thoroughly examined using a high-powered microscope (biomicroscope, slit lamp). The eyelids, cornea, iris, lens, vitreous, and retina are all assessed.

Fundus Examination (Ophthalmoscopy)

  • The back of the eye (retina, optic nerve) is examined by dilating the pupil (using medicinal drops or special devices). The retina, macula, blood vessels, and optic nerve are evaluated.

Additional Diagnostic Methods (When Necessary)

  • Fluorescein Angiography (FFA or ICGA): A test used to examine the blood vessels of the retina or choroid (the layer beneath the retina).

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Used to obtain detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, macula, and optic nerve.

  • Visual Field Test: Conducted to determine the limits of the patient's vision and any existing vision loss.

  • Corneal Topography: Maps the curvature and thickness of the corneal surface.

  • Other Tests: Includes color vision tests, contrast sensitivity tests, strabismus tests, electrophysiological tests, etc.
