Eye Diseases ; Treatments in Turkey

Introduction
Our eyes are one of the most important sensory organs, responsible for how we see and experience the world. Unfortunately, eye diseases can affect vision quality and overall health, whether caused by genetics, aging, trauma, or environmental factors.
At SkyUp Health, our team of experienced ophthalmologists and surgeons provide comprehensive care for eye diseases, combining medical expertise with the latest technologies such as femtosecond laser surgery, advanced intraocular lenses, and next-generation diagnostics.
Symptoms of Eye Diseases
Eye disorders often present with symptoms that should not be ignored. Common warning signs include:
Persistent eye pain or pressure


Redness, burning, or irritation


Sensation of a foreign body in the eye


Excessive tearing or crusting


Blurry or double vision


Decreased night vision


Drooping eyelids or swelling


Squinting or difficulty focusing


If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek a professional eye examination.
Cataracts
A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens behind the pupil, often compared to looking through a foggy window. Cataracts typically develop with age but may also result from trauma, diabetes, or prolonged exposure to UV light.
Symptoms of Cataracts
Gradual loss of vision


Sensitivity to light and glare


Double vision in one eye


Poor night vision


Faded or yellowed colors


Frequent changes in glasses prescription


Cataract Treatments in Turkey
Phacoemulsification (Phaco Method)


A modern technique where the cloudy lens is broken down with ultrasound and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).


Requires only a 2.2 mm incision, no stitches, and recovery is quick.


Advanced Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)


Monofocal, bifocal, or trifocal lenses can replace the natural lens, allowing clear vision both near and far.


Reduces or eliminates the need for glasses after surgery.


Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery


A state-of-the-art procedure performed without blades or needles.


The laser provides unmatched precision, reduces complication risks, and ensures a faster healing process.


Eye Trauma
Trauma to the eye can occur due to accidents, sports injuries, or workplace hazards. Even if the outer eyewall remains intact, internal structures can suffer serious damage.
Possible Complications from Eye Injuries
Retinal edema (swelling of the retina)


Retinal tears or detachment


Intraocular hemorrhage (bleeding inside the eye)


Pigment epithelial damage


Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent permanent vision loss. At SkyUp Health, our specialists use modern imaging and microsurgery to treat traumatic eye injuries.
