Ophthalmology

In Turkey's leading hospitals and eye clinics, every ophthalmic procedure is performed by experienced ophthalmologists using the latest technology and equipment.

Almost all cataract surgeries are performed under drop anaesthesia and facacoemulsification technique, which do not require sutures. A wide variety of complex vitreoretinal surgeries are successfully performed, including pars plana vitrectomy (for diabetic vision loss). Peeling and foveal repositioning of the internal limiting membrane for macular degeneration is also performed with great success.

Glaucoma (eye strain), cross-sight and retinal decollementation surgeries are successfully performed using the most appropriate and technologically advanced techniques.

Excimer Laser applications for the correction of myopic, astigmatic and hypermetropic vision are performed using LASIK method and drop anaesthesia.

LASIK surgery in Turkey has been attractive to international patients for many years due to its high success rate and the fact that it is very affordable compared to clinics and hospitals in Western countries.

In cases where the use of laser is not appropriate, other surgical techniques such as FAKO and Intacs have been successfully performed.

Machine-driven and manual devices such as Auto Refractor Keratometers, air puff and applanation tonometer (for the measurement of intraocular pressure), and direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes are used to ensure precise diagnostics and the best treatment results.
