Clinical Specialization
Dr. Akkaya treats vision disorders using laser and surgical methods. She treats conditions such as cataracts, strabismus, and amblyopia — a condition where vision in one eye does not develop properly. Her practice includes oculoplastic surgery and the fitting of prosthetic eyes.
The doctor performs several types of laser vision correction. These include LASIK, LASEK, and IntraLase techniques. She also uses ReLEx SMILE and SmartSight laser technologies. These methods help patients achieve independence from glasses or contact lenses.
For cataract patients, Dr. Akkaya performs phacoemulsification, which uses ultrasound to break up and remove a cloudy lens. This procedure often involves the implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). She also conducts enucleation with mobile implant insertion for reconstructive cases.
