Prof. Dr. med. Emrullah Taşındı
Department of Ophthalmology
Specialized in: ophthalmology About the Department of Ophthalmology at Okan University Hospital Istanbul
The Department of Ophthalmology at the Okan University Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods for patients with diseases of the eye and its appendages. The department's ophthalmologists have excellent medical equipment for the detection of the causes of visual impairment and establishment of an accurate diagnosis, which serves as a basis for the development of the optimal treatment regimen. In addition, the department is equipped with the cutting-edge laser technologies, which help the doctors to effectively solve many ophthalmic problems, without a surgical intervention. The treatment is provided in accordance with the current clinical protocols of both national and international professional societies. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Emrullah Taşındı.
The treatment begins with a consultation, during which the ophthalmologist asks the patient about his complaints and carries out vision testing using a special table. Then the doctor prescribes diagnostic examinations, which will help him to obtain comprehensive information about the state of the eye apparatus: autorefractometry, retinoscopy, optical coherence tomography, tonometry, biomicroscopy, slit lamp exam, visual field testing and other medical procedures.
The department provides conservative, as well as laser and surgical treatment of eye pathologies of varying severity. Refractive errors (for example, hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, etc.) are corrected with the advanced laser technology. The treatment mostly involves the use of the excimer lasers and LASIK technology. As of today, they are the most effective and demonstrate high success rates. The surgical treatment is indicated for patients with cataract (seamless phacoemulsification using local eye drop anesthesia), glaucoma, diplopia, retinal detachment and other eye diseases. In most cases, the laser procedures and surgical interventions are carried out on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization.
