Cataract Surgery

Cataract, which can be defined as an old age
disease, is of great importance both for the health of the eyes and for a
quality life. Cataracts first occur with symptoms such as double vision of
objects, blurred vision, and difficult vision at night. Later, over time,
it continues with the day-to-day loss of vision. Cataract is not a disease
that individuals can live with or manage. It must be treated.

On the other hand, it is not possible to treat cataracts with
medication, and the eyes must be operated on. Cataract can only be treated
by surgical method. A good surgeon is needed in this regard. Cataract
surgery has been performed by laser method in recent years. Utilizing
modern medicine, extremely advanced technologies are used in cataract surgery.

People who will undergo cataract surgery need to research and find
the best doctors. The operation process, which will progress in proportion
to the individual experience of the ophthalmologist to be preferred, can be
completed in a single day. Avicenna International Hospital’s specialist
ophthalmologists perform cataract surgeries in the light of the latest
technologies.

Yellow Spot Eye Disease

Also known as the yellow spot, the macula provides the
visual acuity of the people. Located in the middle of the retina, this
small point is 5 mm in diameter. This region is the region that provides
the vision centrally. The photoreceptor cells of our eyes that detect
light are densely located in the macula called the yellow spot. On the
other hand, it is stated that this region also has the task of seeing the
details. To give an example, we use the macula region known as the yellow
spot when trying to thread a thread over the end of a needle. People with
yellow spot disease have a blurring problem. In addition, there is also
the problem of seeing in the dark. People with this disease do not have
problems seeing from the sides, but the central vision is impaired. This
disease affects a person’s life very deeply. Yellow spot disease is an
increasing and growing disease.

Strabismus

There are 6 eye muscles in each eye of human
beings. These muscles are extraocular muscles. Strabismus occurs if
one or more of these eye muscles experience strength problems. Strabismus
is a situation where the eyes lose their harmony with each other. Strabismus
is a disturbing disease that can be experienced temporarily or permanently. There
is no clear and single cause of strabismus occurring. Although strabismus
develops due to many reasons, it is generally accepted to be a genetic problem. Early
diagnosis is of great importance in its treatment.

Strabotomy

Surgery can be used from time to time in the
treatment of strabismus, which is an eye disease. Strabismus surgery may
differ methodologically according to the level of strabismus. In
strabismus surgery, the strength of some of the 6 muscles in the eyes is
increased, the area of ​​effect of some is changed, and the strength levels of some can be
reduced. Although this surgery is performed under local anesthesia in some
adults, it is mostly performed with general anesthesia.

Strabismus surgery is performed in an average of 1 hour. After
an average of 1 week after the operation, it can be returned to daily life. Tenderness
and redness in the eye area may continue for up to 1 month. The healing
process can be supported with the use of drops after the surgery. Most of
the patients generally ask the question as to whether strabismus surgery is
risky. There is a certain risk level in every surgical operation. Therefore,
strabismus surgery also has a certain risk. This risk can be minimized by
choosing experienced ophthalmologists.

Strabismus Surgery Prices

It is not correct to give a price in advance for
strabismus surgery. Before getting the price of strabismus surgery, it is
necessary to be examined by doctors. On the other hand, sharing the
surgery prices on the website is also prohibited.

Eye Disease Symptoms

If people are suspected of having an eye
disease, it is useful to examine the symptoms. Eye diseases come out with
certain symptoms.

If there are problems such as itching,
dryness, swelling, blood, pain or sensitivity in the eyes

If problems such as retinal disease, cataract,
glaucoma, keratoconus have been experienced in family genetics

If there is a disease that affects the eye
such as diabetes or blood pressure disease

Has a previous eye surgery?

If any injury has occurred in the eye area

It is absolutely necessary to go to an ophthalmologist. On
the other hand, it is very important to have a regular and systematic eye
examination. People should have their first eye examination when they are
babies. All babies who are 6 months old should undergo an eye examination. In
this way, if there is any congenital eye disease, it can be detected. Early
diagnosis can ensure that babies do not have eye problems throughout their
lives. Even an individual who has no eye disease should have an eye
examination at least every 2 years. People with eye diseases should pay
attention to periodic examination.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Diseases

Problems that occur in people’s eye areas are treated by
doctors. Before the treatment, every doctor controls the patient within
the framework of certain tests. According to the results of the tests and
the patient’s symptoms, a treatment method is determined and treatment is
initiated.

patients in general, patients should choose the right doctors to use the most
appropriate treatment method. Ataşehir Avicenna Hospital’s specialist

methods, such as wearing glasses, taking medications, or having a surgical
