Ophthalmology (Eye Diseases)
MedicalPark offers comprehensive ophthalmology services in Turkey, ranging from routine eye exams to advanced surgical procedures. With experienced specialists, cutting-edge technology, and patient-centered care, we are committed to protecting and improving your vision.
Which Eye Conditions Do We Treat in the Ophthalmology Department?
Our ophthalmology department diagnoses and treats a wide variety of eye conditions that can affect vision and overall eye health. These include both common and rare eye diseases:
Cataracts: Clouding of the natural lens of the eye, commonly associated with aging.
Glaucoma: Increased pressure within the eye that can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the blood vessels in the retina due to diabetes.
Macular Degeneration (AMD): A condition that causes deterioration of the central part of the retina.
Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes, often diagnosed in children.
Refractive Errors: Conditions like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Retinal Diseases: Includes retinal detachment and vascular occlusions.
Corneal Diseases: Such as infections, injuries, or keratoconus.
Pediatric Eye Conditions: From congenital abnormalities to retinopathy of prematurity.
Oculoplastic Conditions: Affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbital structure.
Our Comprehensive Ophthalmology Services
At MedicalPark, our ophthalmology department provides:
Routine eye exams and screenings
Diagnosis and treatment of common and rare eye diseases
Emergency eye care
Pediatric ophthalmology services
Neuro-ophthalmology evaluations
Pre- and post-operative care
We also provide services that distinguish ophthalmology from optometry. While optometrists handle vision correction and routine exams, our ophthalmologists are trained to manage complex eye diseases and perform surgical procedures.
What Are the Most Common Eye Diseases?
Several eye conditions frequently affect individuals of all ages:
Cataracts: The leading cause of vision impairment in older adults. Learn more about cataract surgery in Turkey
Glaucoma: Often goes unnoticed in early stages but can lead to irreversible blindness.
Refractive Errors: Affect a significant portion of the population and are easily correctable.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A progressive condition impacting central vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy: A common complication in patients with diabetes.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Common Eye Diseases?
Early detection of eye diseases is essential. Common warning signs include:
Blurred or double vision
Sudden vision loss
Eye pain or redness
Sensitivity to light
Halos around lights
Difficulty seeing at night
Eye floaters or flashes
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an eye doctor appointment promptly.
How Are Eye Diseases Diagnosed?
We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your eye health and detect conditions early.
Advanced Diagnostic Tests
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides detailed images of the retina and optic nerve.
Visual Field Testing: Measures peripheral and central vision, especially for glaucoma.
Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Detects elevated eye pressure.
Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness, important in glaucoma evaluations.
Ophthalmic Biometry: Essential for calculating intraocular lens power in cataract surgery.
Dry Eye Tests: Evaluate tear production and stability.
Color Vision Tests: Detect inherited or acquired color blindness.
