Types of Eye Surgery in Turkey

Blepharoplasty

In this surgery, the doctor makes incisions to remove the excess skin from the upper and lower eyelid, depending on the patient’s requirement.

Cataract Surgery

A cloudy area in the lens of an eye affects visibility, which is known as a cataract. The doctor removes this lens and replaces it with an artificial lens.

Corneal Transplant

A cornea transplant can be done at full thickness or partial thickness, depending on the patient’s surgery requirement. The surgeon transplants the damaged cornea and replaces it with healthy donor tissue.

Glaucoma Surgeries

A tiny tube is inserted into the white of the eye that drains extra fluid from the eye and lowers eye pressure. This tiny tube is called a shunt. The surgeons make an opening under the eyelid to drain out the extra fluid.
