What is Glaucoma?
It is a very insidious disease that occurs when eye pressure is not diagnosed early and treatment is started late, causing loss of vision. For this reason, eye examination should be performed and eye pressure should be checked regularly every year.
Glaucoma refers to a condition that damages the nerves in the eye. The main reason for eye pressure is the high pressure in the eye. In cases where the circulation in the nerves in the eye is damaged, there are weaknesses in the tissues or structural disorders, the eye nerves are much more sensitive to pressure; and in this case, even if the pressure does not increase, damage may occur.

What is Cataract?
Cataract is the loss of transparency of the natural lens in the eye. The lens structure present in the eye since birth is composed of protein and water. The specific protein sequence ensures that the lens is transparent and light-permeable. As the years progress, protein molecules build up. Then, the lens loses its transparency. This results in a cataract.
Cataract Treatment
Cataract cannot be treated with medication. The only solution of cataract is surgical intervention. In our hospital, surgery is performed only by doctors who are experts in this field.

After the examination, the specialist doctor decides which treatment process will be applied to the patient.
Eye Transplant: Corneal Transplant
Corneal transplant, also called as eye transplant, is a surgical procedure in which the transparent layer of the eye is replaced with a healthy cornea collected from only a deceased person after removing the transparent layer on the front of the eye which has been damaged only due to various diseases. During corneal transplant, a circular piece is grafted from the donated healthy cornea. A piece of the same size is removed from the cornea of the patient and the new cornea is sutured on the same area by surgery.
