Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology
Specialized in: adult and pediatric ophthalmology About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital Istanbul
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital Istanbul provides the full range of high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with eye diseases. The medical facility has the necessary medical and technical resources, as well as competent staff to serve patients of all age groups. The patients with common, rare and especially complex eye pathologies can receive medical care here. The department has state-of-the-art laser systems, which allow them to effectively correct refractive errors without surgery. It also specializes in corneal transplantation and oculoplastic surgery. The department is headed by Dr. med. Mahmut Odabasi.
The therapeutic process begins with a consultation with the attending physician, during which the patient tells in detail about his complaints. Then the doctor studies the patient's medical history and prescribes a set of necessary diagnostic examinations for obtaining comprehensive clinical information. The department carries out all modern diagnostic tests, including standard visual acuity test and fundus assessment, ultrasound examination, Doppler scanning, optical coherence tomography, electroretinography, keratography, tonometry, biomicroscopy, autorefractometry and others. The diagnostic results serve as the basis for the establishment of an accurate diagnosis and development of an optimal treatment regimen aimed at improving vision.
The department's specialists keep pace with innovations in medicine, thanks to which the treatment is as effective, sparing and safe as possible. For example, cataract surgery is performed using sutureless phacoemulsification technique under eye drop anesthesia. The clinical practice involves the use of such laser techniques as LASIK, LASEK, PRK, FLEX, SMILE and others. To perform corneal transplantation, the doctors use donor material, which is available in the Eye Banks.
Special attention should be paid to ophthalmological care for children, which is provided by a specially trained team of pediatricians. The doctors carry out regular eye screenings in infants and small children to exclude such complex pathologies as retinopathy of prematurity, congenital cataract, glaucoma, tear duct obstruction, strabismus, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The department's specialists also select glasses and contact lenses for children suffering from visual loss.
