About the clinic

Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a full suite of services for optic nerve atrophy, from diagnostics to surgery. An outpatient examination is around $163, with neuroprotective therapy costing around $1,950 and surgical treatment running $5,500 per eye. Professor Mehmet Selim Kocabora, a leading ophthalmology professor, reviews all complex optic nerve cases at this JCI-accredited facility.

Treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. Medipol offers a complete spectrum of advanced tests, including:

  • Comprehensive eye examination and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for detailed nerve imaging.
  • Brain MRI with contrast and Eye MRI to check for structural issues.
  • Visual field testing and fundus fluorescein angiography to assess function and blood flow.
  • Supportive blood tests and genetic testing if required.
This thorough approach helps identify the underlying cause.

Treatment is tailored to the individual diagnosis. Options include:

  • Conservative medical management. Doctors treat the root cause, such as glaucoma or ischemic neuropathy. This may involve specific medications and blood pressure control.
  • Neuroprotective therapy. This inpatient program typically includes a doctor examination, necessary pre-tests, and a 5–7 day hospital stay.
  • Surgical therapy. When indicated, surgeons perform procedures using advanced technology available at the hospital.
  • Vision rehabilitation. For patients with significant vision loss, ongoing functional therapy helps maximize remaining sight.

Prof. Mehmet Selim Kocabora, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology, leads the review of these cases. He brings academic expertise from the Medipol University Ophthalmology Department to patient care. The hospital itself is accredited by both JCI and JCI Academic standards, ensuring high-quality care. Its large 810-bed capacity and international patient services, including interpreters in 30 languages, support a smooth treatment journey. To explore these options, patients can consult with the specialists at Medipol Mega to discuss a personalized plan.

I liked everything — how they provided transport to the hospital for consultations and follow-up appointments, how they advised — very respectful and empathic. And if we were waiting for a doctor’s appointment, it was comfortable — in VIP rooms with tea, coffee and cookies))) THANKS HUGE FOR SUCH A WARM RECEPTION !!!! Separately, I would like to note the work of our ANSAR coordinator - this is really a wonderful professional, a man of his word, he has everything under control and you don’t worry for anything! This man advised us all 24/7 !!!! THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ALL! !!! Another employee of this hospital who just perfectly completed his work (even more than ideal) is BABAJAN! He literally translated everything, tried to help the ophthalmologist as well with examining a child, he’s always happy to ask questions because he’s always happy to help. To meet such amazing people abroad, far from home is just happiness! I will not tire of repeating that the more professional a person is, the more human qualities and tact are in him. This is Babajan about you! We are very grateful to you as a whole family! Thank you very much for a nice and very kind girl, translator-Aisalkyn! Competent, tactful and very nice ! Briefly about the doctors, we had an ophthalmologist for the child and a gynecologist for me. I am completely happy and would like to return to them!

Neredeyse eşimle beraber 5 yıldır her zor durumda kaldığımızda ziyaret ederek hizmet aldığımız, tedavi olduğumuz hatta ameliyat olduğumuz hastane. Türkiye'de daha mükemmeli yoktur diye düşünüyorum.

Bu verdiğim 5 yıldız sadece doc. Dr Hasan demirhan ve Professor Dr yıldırım bayazit’a Yurt dışından geldim ve bu iki doktor çok iyi ve ilgiliydi ondan hariç yeşil kart ya da SSK yoksa para tuzağı. Bu iki doktoru KBB için kesinlikle öneririm.
