Qualifications

Prof. Dr. Ümit Aykan is an ophthalmologist at Dunyagoz Eye Hospital Istanbul Etiler. He is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO) and a professor at Near East University. The doctor treats glaucoma and performs cataract surgery.

Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Aykan treats glaucoma through early detection and specialized monitoring. He uses multidiode laser treatments to regulate eye pressure. This method avoids direct eye intervention and reduces infection risks. It serves as an alternative for patients unable to use standard medications.

The specialist also performs cataract surgery with multifocal lens implants. He conducts diagnostic screenings, including ophthalmoscopy and refractometry. These tests help ensure precise surgical outcomes. Ophthalmoscopy allows the doctor to inspect the back of the eye, while refractometry measures the eye's refractive error to determine the correct lens power.
