Professional Experience/Performance Details

Mustafa TASELI, MD; He gained fame by operations in the field of; Pediatric Ophthalmology, and Adult

Laser), Macular Diseases, and Surgery, Oculuplasty, and Reconstructive Surgery, Uveitis, Cataract, and

Diabetic Retinopathy.

- More than 3.000 Laser Cataract Surgery – FAKO (Phacoemulsification)

Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with

an ultrasonic handpiece, and aspirated from the eye.

- More than 1.000 LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), PRK, and Smile Laser

LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision

correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a type of refractive surgery to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia

(farsightedness), and astigmatism. Like LASIK and other types of laser eye surgery, PRK works by reshaping the

cornea using an excimer laser, allowing light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for clear

vision.

SMILE is considered the most significant advance in laser eye surgery technology in over 10 years. It combines

the safety of traditional vision correction techniques with even greater comfort and potentially greater precision.

- More than 1.000 Refractive Lens Exchange (lens replacement surgery)

Refractive lens exchange typically is for people with presbyopia or extreme farsightedness, for whom LASIK,

PRK or phakic IOL surgery generally are not suitable. Lens replacement surgery also can

correct myopia (nearsightedness), but generally it is not recommended when LASIK, PRK or phakic IOLs are

available.

An intraocular lens (IOL) implant is an artificial replacement for the lens of your eye. It's part of the surgery to

fix cataracts.

Monofocal IOL: This is the most common. Unlike your natural lens, which can stretch or bend to help

your eye focus, this implant stays focused at one fixed distance. If yours focuses at a distance, you might be able

to see things far away but need glasses to read or see close up.

Multifocal implant: Like glasses with bifocal or progressive lenses, this lens has areas that help you see things at

different distances. It could take several months for your brain to adapt so your vision seems natural.

Accommodating IOL: This flexible option acts more like your natural lens and focuses at more than one

distance. It makes you less likely to need reading glasses.

- More than 200 Vitrectomy Surgery

Vitrectomy is a type of eye surgery used to treat problems of the eye’s retina and vitreous. In this surgery, an

ophthalmologist may:

 remove blood or other substance keeping light from focusing properly on the retina

 remove scar tissue that is wrinkling or tearing the retina and causing poor vision

 help repair a retina that has detached (pulled away) from the eye wall

 remove a foreign object stuck inside the eye from an injury

- More than 200 Strabismus surgery

Strabismus surgery (also: extraocular muscle surgery, eye muscle surgery, or eye alignment surgery) is surgery on

the extraocular muscles to correct strabismus, the misalignment of the eyes.

- More than 200 Glaucoma surgery

Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized

by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those

surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few

that lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous.

- More than 200 Pterygium surgery

A pterygium is a pinkish, triangular tissue growth on the cornea of the eye. It typically starts on the cornea near

the nose. It may slowly grow but rarely grows so large that the pupil is covered. Often both eyes are involved.
