Imagine waking up and seeing everything crystal clear without reaching for glasses or fumbling with contacts.
Wherever I have been to an eye hospital in my life, I have never met such a polite and experienced doctor
The thing I liked the most about the clinic is that there is no compulsion for surgery in the clinic (compared to other places). The main problem with your eyes, that is, whether there is a disease or not, is important to them. If there is a disease, the most appropriate solution will be found. A big thank you to Opr.Dr.Sezer.Haciağaoğlu, who examined my eyes and did the laser. Wherever I have been to an eye hospital in my life, I have never met such a polite and experienced doctor. The clinic is in the first place in the world for me. I am happy if this comment is useful to someone. Because I also chose "Dunyagôz Etiler" after reading and analyzing the other comments on Bookimed. Thank you bookimed and Dunyagõz Etiler
