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. Dr. Ömer TAKEŞ offers the most appropriate treatment options to help his patients achieve clear and healthy vision.
