Eye diseases

The ophthalmology polyclinic primarily operates within
the framework of preventive medicine. Every person should undergo a
routine eye examination once a year to avoid eye diseases or to take the
necessary precautions in a timely manner. Ophthalmology unit is one of the
branches of medicine that most benefited from technological developments.

Eyes are undoubtedly among the most important organs. In cases where they do
not fulfill their functions, people’s connections with the world are
significantly interrupted. Even a person whose eyes have lost their
functions may fall into a situation where they need the help of others to do
very simple daily tasks. For this reason, the branch of medicine dealing
with eye diseases is considered to be very important and is supported by many
sub-branches.

In addition to benefiting from the latest developments in technology in surgical
interventions related to eye diseases, computerized and automatic devices are
also used in routine examinations. In routine eye examinations,
computerized eye number and eye pressure measurement, visual acuity (near and
far) examination with automatic devices and glasses examination, as well as
examination of the eyelids, eye muscles and fundus.

The ophthalmology department also functions as a department that makes use of
effective and technological opportunities as much as possible during the
treatment phase. Of course, advanced methods such as computed tomography
are also used in the diagnosis phase. In the treatment phase, applications
such as eye angiography or laser treatment may be considered. These
methods can be applied in retinal diseases that occur due to diabetes or
hypertension. In addition, applications using various surgical and medical
treatment methods are also performed.

Appropriate treatments are determined and applied for patients who experience eye
infections, dry eye, eye tumors, eyelid or eyelash diseases, strabismus and
botox treatments, lazy eye or allergic reactions. In addition, suitable
methods are used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as glaucoma
and cataracts. All of these treatments can be applied successfully, but when
it comes to eye diseases, early diagnosis and treatment is important as it is
valid for other diseases. For example, early diagnosis is vital when it
comes to glaucoma or eye pressure as it is known colloquially.

When glaucoma is noticed late, it can cause irreparable damage to the optic nerve. All
of these diseases can cause more important problems in the eyes, which are
among the most important organs, and the damage cannot be repaired. For
this reason, preventive health measures are of great importance for the eye
diseases department. This rule, which is valid for all branches of
medicine, may be even more important when it comes to eye diseases. In
that case, it would be appropriate to apply to the eye diseases service to have
a routine eye examination at least once a year.
