Eye disorders are vision problems caused by a disruption in the eye’s focusing ability. The most common types of eye disorders include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (distorted and blurred vision), and presbyopia (age-related difficulty in seeing up close). With proper treatment, clear and healthy vision is achievable.

Overview of Treatment

Can be seen in all age groups.
Corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or laser treatment.
Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia are the most common types.
Glasses and contact lenses are the most basic corrective methods.
Laser eye surgeries can provide a permanent solution.
The appropriate treatment method is determined based on eye structure and age.
Regular eye exams are essential to maintain visual health.

How Are Eye Disorders Treated?
The choice of treatment is determined based on the individual's eye structure, age, and lifestyle. The goal is to provide clear and comfortable vision.

Anesthesia
Local anesthesia with eye drops is applied only before laser or surgical procedures. It is not needed for the use of glasses or contact lenses.

Glasses
The most common and practical treatment option. Lenses are customized for each person to correct refractive errors.

Contact Lenses
An alternative solution for individuals who prefer not to wear glasses. Daily, monthly, or custom-made lenses can be used.

Laser Eye Surgery
Can be performed on individuals aged 18 and older whose eye prescription has stabilized. Permanent correction is achieved with methods such as LASIK, ReLEx SMILE, and No-Touch PRK.

Smart Lens (Intraocular Lens) Application
A surgical method often preferred in advanced age or for high prescriptions. It can be combined with cataract surgery.

Recovery Process
Vision improves immediately with the use of glasses or contact lenses. After laser surgery, healing begins within a few days, with full results in a few weeks. Similarly, clear vision is achieved within a few weeks after smart lens application. Regular follow-up is important after every treatment.

Eye Diseases & Treatments in Izmir, Turkey

Eye disorders are among the common problems that affect daily quality of life and can be corrected with appropriate treatment methods. Ophthalmologist Op. Dr. Ömer TAKEŞ applies the most suitable treatment for his patients as a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of various eye disorders.

What Are Eye Disorders?

Myopia – Nearsightedness

Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It can be treated with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK).

Hyperopia – Farsightedness

Hyperopia causes close objects to appear blurry while distant objects are seen clearly. It is treated with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is caused by irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, leading to blurred vision at both near and far distances. Treatment includes glasses, toric contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Presbyopia – Age-Related Farsightedness

Presbyopia occurs due to the loss of elasticity in the eye's lens with aging, making it difficult to see close objects clearly. Treatment options include multifocal glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Cataract

Cataracts cause vision loss due to clouding of the eye’s natural lens. Treatment involves cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens.

Glaucoma – Eye Pressure

Glaucoma is a disease characterized by damage to the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure. It is managed with medications, laser treatment, or surgery.

Retinal Diseases

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Diseases in this area (such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration) can lead to vision loss. Treatment options include laser therapy, injection therapies, or surgical intervention.

Eye Disorder Treatment Methods

Glasses and Contact Lenses

These correct refractive errors and provide clear vision. Prescribed after an eye exam, they are tailored to the patient’s visual needs.

Refractive Surgery

This surgical method reshapes the cornea to permanently correct vision problems. Techniques include LASIK, PRK, and LASEK.

Medication

Used especially for conditions like glaucoma, medications lower intraocular pressure or treat infections. They are administered via eye drops, oral medication, or injections.

Laser Therapy

Laser treatment is used for retinal diseases, glaucoma, and refractive errors. Laser beams target specific parts of the eye for precise intervention.

Surgical Intervention

Surgery is necessary for cataracts, retinal detachment, and advanced glaucoma. Microsurgical techniques are used to operate on the affected area of the eye.

Eye disorders can be effectively corrected with the right treatment methods, significantly improving patients’ quality of life. With his extensive experience and expertise, Ophthalmologist Op.
