Even if no issues are detected, it plays a critical role in early diagnosis of potential diseases to repeat eye exams annually. What Does the Department of Ophthalmology Cover? The Department of Ophthalmology is a medical unit that includes the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical applications related to eye diseases. The department evaluates and treats the following conditions: Refractive surgery (surgeries to get rid of glasses) Cataract surgery Glaucoma (eye pressure) Corneal diseases Retina and vitreoretinal diseases Strabismus Neuro-ophthalmology Oculoplastic surgery (eyelid and surrounding area) Contact lens applications During the diagnostic process, advanced technology devices such as autorefractokeratometer, biomicroscope, tonometers (air-puff and applanation), direct and indirect ophthalmoscope are used. All patient data is securely stored in digital systems. Surgical Techniques Used in Eye Surgery Eye surgeries are performed by experienced doctors using up-to-date surgical techniques and modern technologies. Cataract surgeries are commonly performed under drop anesthesia, using stitch-free FAKO (phacoemulsification) method. For advanced diabetic retinopathy, pars plana vitrectomy, age-related macular degeneration, and complex vitreoretinal surgeries are successfully performed. Corneal transplants are conducted with suitable donor corneas obtained from eye banks. Glaucoma, strabismus, and retinal detachment surgeries are performed using methods tailored to the patient&#8217;s needs. Excimer laser (LASIK, etc.) treatments for myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism are performed with drop anesthesia. What Are Eye Diseases? Refractive (Focusing) Errors These are vision problems that arise due to the eye&#8217;s inability to focus light properly. They are divided into four main categories: Myopia: Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly Hypermetropia: Reduced near and, over time, distant vision Astigmatism: Blurry or shadowed vision Presbyopia: Difficulty seeing close objects after the age of 40 These conditions can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery in appropriate cases. Presbyopia can also be treated with smart lens applications. Refractive Surgery and Excimer Laser Refractive surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or lenses. These procedures are performed on the cornea or the eye&#8217;s intraocular lens. Techniques such as PRK, LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE have been highly successful in suitable patients. Thanks to excimer laser technology, the corneal tissue is shaped at a micron level, adjusting the eye&#8217;s refractive power precisely. These methods are considered safe, controlled, and widely used today. What Is LASIK? LASIK is an excimer laser method in which a thin flap (flep) is created in the cornea. After the procedure, pain is minimal, and patients can usually return to their daily lives the next day. Myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism can be successfully corrected in individuals with suitable eye structures. Retinal Diseases and Vitrectomy Diabetic retinopathy is a serious retinal disease caused by diabetes that can lead to blindness. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects central vision and increases in frequency with age. Vitrectomy surgery may be performed in cases such as retinal tears, detachment, and macular holes. Eyelid Diseases Conditions like blepharitis, stye, chalazion, ptosis, eyelid tumors, eyelid drooping, and eyelid problems related to facial paralysis can be treated with medication or surgery. Childhood Eye Diseases Early eye examinations in children ensure timely treatment of conditions such as strabismus, amblyopia, refractive errors, congenital cataracts, and tear duct obstructions. It is recommended that every child undergo an eye exam before preschool age. Glaucoma (Eye Pressure) Glaucoma is a silent disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss. It often shows no symptoms. It is crucial for individuals at risk to have regular eye check-ups. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Retinopathy of prematurity is a condition that can occur in premature and low birth weight babies. If left untreated, it can cause permanent vision loss. Therefore, high-risk infants should have retinal exams at regular intervals after birth. Cataracts and Smart Lens Applications Cataracts occur when the natural lens inside the eye loses its transparency. Nowadays, cataract surgeries are performed using stitch-free FAKO method. With the use of smart or astigmatic lenses during surgery, patients can significantly reduce their need for both near and far glasses. Clear and Comfortable Vision with FAKO Surgery Phacoemulsification (FAKO) is the most commonly preferred modern surgical method for cataract treatment today. In this method, the natural lens, which loses its transparency due to cataracts, is fragmented and cleaned from the eye with ultrasonic energy, and an artificial intraocular lens is placed in its place. FAKO surgery offers a comfortable treatment process, thanks to its stitch-free nature, quick application, and fast recovery, and helps patients regain quality vision. What Is Cataract? Cataract is a condition that occurs when the natural lens inside the eye becomes cloudy and opaque over time. When cataracts develop, a person may experience symptoms such as blurry vision, perception of colors as faded, light sensitivity, and reduced night vision. If left untreated, it can progress to vision loss. Cataracts typically develop with age and are more common after the age of 50. However, some factors can cause cataracts to appear earlier. Factors That Increase the Risk of Cataracts Family history of cataracts Diabetes (high blood sugar) Smoking and alcohol use High cholesterol and hypertension Obesity Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight What Is FAKO Surgery? FAKO surgery is a minimally invasive method used in the surgical treatment of cataracts. Performed under local (drop) anesthesia, the cataractous lens is broken into small pieces using ultrasonic waves and removed from the eye. Then, an artificial intraocular lens is placed inside the eye based on the patient\u2019s eye structure. This method is considered the gold standard in cataract surgery due to its low complication risk, short surgery time, and fast recovery advantages. Advantages of FAKO Surgery Stitch-free surgical technique Short surgery duration Quick recovery after the surgery Clearer and better vision Quick return to daily life Who Is Suitable for FAKO Surgery?
