What Diseases Are Treated At The Eye Center?
At the Medipol Health Group Eye Center, these conditions are evaluated by classification according to their types, and appropriate diagnostic and treatment processes are planned for each. The most commonly treated conditions at the Eye Center include:
Refractive Errors
These are vision problems that occur as a result of the eye's inability to focus light correctly. Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (blurred and scattered vision), and presbyopia (age-related near vision loss) are in this group.
Cataract
A condition in which the eye’s natural lens gradually loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. It presents with symptoms such as blurred vision, faded colors, and light sensitivity.
Glaucoma (Ocular Hypertension)
This is damage to the nerve tissue due to increased intraocular pressure or sensitivity of the optic nerve. It can progress silently and, if untreated, may lead to loss of visual field.
Retinal Diseases
These are diseases that affect the back layer of the eye, which enables vision. Conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinal damage, and retinal detachment can seriously threaten vision.
Eye Infections And Inflammations
These are disorders that develop due to microbial or immune system causes. Diseases such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and uveitis can manifest with redness, pain, and blurred vision.
Dry Eye And Ocular Surface Diseases
These develop as a result of decreased tear production or deterioration in the surface of the eye. They cause complaints such as stinging, burning, and a foreign body sensation.
Strabismus And Amblyopia
This is a condition where the eyes cannot work together in harmony or one eye does not develop sufficiently. Early intervention is of great importance, especially in childhood.
Eyelid And Tear Duct Diseases
These include structural or infectious problems affecting the area around the eye. Styes, chalazion, drooping eyelids, and tear duct blockages are included in this group.
Keratoconus
It is characterized by the thinning of the cornea, taking on a cone shape. It can cause progressive deterioration in vision and frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions.
Optic Nerve Diseases
These are diseases that affect the optic nerve. They can manifest as decreased vision, impaired color perception, and visual field losses.
Eye Tumors
These include benign or malignant masses that can develop in or around the eye. Early diagnosis is important for preserving vision and overall health.
Trauma-Related Eye Conditions
These are damages caused by external factors such as impact, sharp injuries, or foreign bodies. They may require emergency intervention, and prompt treatment is crucial.
Oculoplastic (Eye Aesthetic) Procedures
Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty), treatment of drooping eyelids (ptosis), correction of under-eye bags and peripheral deformities are included in this field. These procedures not only improve aesthetic appearance but also contribute to resolving problems affecting the visual field.
What Treatment Methods Are Applied At The Eye Center?
The treatment methods applied at the Eye Center consist of preventive, medical, technological, and surgical approaches that vary depending on the type of disease, level of vision, patient’s age, and eye structure. The most commonly used treatment methods include:
Laser Vision Correction (Refractive Surgery)
One of the most frequently used methods for treating refractive errors. For conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, laser techniques like LASIK, LASEK, PRK, and SMILE may be applied depending on the corneal structure of the patient.
Eyeglasses And Contact Lens Applications
Surgical methods may not be suitable for every patient. Therefore, after a detailed examination, personalized eyeglasses or contact lens plan is made. This is a fundamental and effective approach, especially for achieving clear daily vision.
Medical Treatment (Medication Therapy)
In many eye diseases, the first-line treatment is medical therapy. Eye drops, gels, ointments, and systemic medications are used to control infections, reduce inflammation, regulate intraocular pressure, and support the ocular surface. It is commonly used in glaucoma, dry eye, uveitis, and infectious diseases.
Intravitreal Injections (Intraocular Drug Administration)
In some retinal diseases, medication must be injected directly into the eye.
This method is used particularly in macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vascular occlusions, aiming to slow vision loss and control disease progression.
Cataract And Intraocular Lens Surgery
Surgery is the most effective treatment for cataracts. The cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. In these operations performed with modern techniques, monofocal, multifocal, or smart lenses with different characteristics can be preferred according to the patient's needs.
Retinal And Vitreoretinal Surgeries
Surgical interventions are applied in advanced diseases affecting the retina. In retinal detachment, retinal tears, intraocular hemorrhages, and some macular diseases, methods such as vitrectomy are used to try to preserve the retinal structure.
Glaucoma (Ocular Hypertension) Treatment Methods
The goal of glaucoma treatment is to protect the optic nerve by controlling intraocular pressure. In this process, drug treatments, laser applications, and surgical methods can be planned together when necessary.
Laser Treatments
Laser technologies are used not only in refractive errors but also in different eye diseases. In this process, drug treatments, laser applications, and surgical methods can be planned together when necessary.
Treatments For Corneal Diseases
Treatment for corneal diseases varies according to the stage of the disease. Drug treatments, special contact lenses, applications that strengthen the cornea, and methods such as corneal transplantation in advanced cases can be applied.
Dry Eye And Ocular Surface Treatments
In addition to eye drops, supportive therapies for the ocular surface are applied. Tear supplementation and eyelid hygiene measures are used to improve comfort.
Strabismus And Amblyopia Treatments
Treatment may include glasses, patching therapy, eye exercises, and surgical intervention when necessary.
Eyelid And Tear Duct Treatments
Medical and surgical methods are used for conditions such as ptosis, stye, chalazion, and tear duct obstruction.
Oculoplastic (Eye Aesthetic) Surgery
Eyelid aesthetics, removal of under-eye bags, and correction of eyelid problems affecting the field of vision are considered within this scope.
Trauma And Emergency Intervention Treatments
Eye injuries, foreign bodies, and sudden eye problems require rapid intervention.
Combined And Personalized Treatment Approach
In the treatment of eye diseases, a single method may often not be sufficient. Therefore, medication, laser, and surgical methods are planned together to create a treatment process specific to the patient.
What Technologies Are Used At The Eye Center?
The technologies used at the Eye Center are highly important for early detection of eye diseases, accurate diagnosis, and precise treatment planning.
These technologies used at the Medipol Health Group Eye Center enable detailed examination of the eye’s structures and allow high-accuracy evaluations. The main advanced technologies used at the Eye Center include:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
An advanced imaging technology that provides cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve layers. It is widely used in the follow-up of macular degeneration, macular edema, and glaucoma.
Corneal Topography
It is a system that analyzes the curvature and shape of the corneal surface in detail. It plays an important role especially in the diagnosis of keratoconus and in preoperative evaluation for laser eye surgery.
IOL Master (Optical Biometry)
An advanced measurement device used before cataract surgery to determine the power of the intraocular lens by measuring the eye’s axial length and optical properties.
