Modern Technologies of Treatment in the Eye Hospital
Birinci Göz uses modern painless eye treatment technologies that allow patients to quickly recover and return to their normal lifestyle.
The main methods of Birinci Göz
- Laser vision correction. Popular technologies include:
- LASIK – for most patients with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism;
- PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is recommended for patients with thin or uneven corneas.
- Keratoplasty (cornea transplantation). Depending on the degree of damage to the cornea, ophthalmologists perform:
- penetrating keratoplasty is a complete replacement of the cornea with donor issue in case of severe corneal lesions such as bullous keratopathy, deep ulcers, dystrophy, perforation;
- lamellar keratoplasty is a replacement of a certain part of the cornea with superficial or deep corneal defects such as keratoconus, Fuchs' dystrophy, epithelial intrastromal cysts;
- limbal keratoplasty is a replacement of the limbus (transitional zone between the cornea and sclera), it is indicated for burns and corneal injuries.
- Cataract phacoemulsification with implantation of an artificial lens. This is a minimally invasive procedure, during which the doctor safely removes the cataract using ultrasound.
Lamellar keratoplasty is the most preferred method in the treatment of keratoconus. Doctors record a lower risk of donor tissue rejection, better optical stabilization, and preservation of endothelial cells. According to the Birinci Göz Hospital data, the treatment success rate is 99%, indicating high medical care.

Which vision correction methods are available at Birinci Goz?
Ophthalmologists of the Birinci Göz Eye Hospital use innovative laser technologies to eliminate myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, which have proven their success:
- PRK or No-Touch. During Dr. Birinci Göz’s intervention, the cornea’s surface layer is removed, after which the lower layer is affected by an excimer laser. This is a painless procedure, after which the epithelium is restored within 4-5 days. Vision – in 2-3 months.
- LASIK. With Femto LASIK, the doctor reshapes the cornea and creates a corneal valve. Restoration of vision occurs within a month.
- iLASIK. An innovative technology in refractive surgery is called Femto LASIK. The procedure does not involve the use of mechanical instruments. The surgeon performs the intervention exclusively with laser equipment, controlling all actions by a computer. Since the epithelium is not damaged, patients achieve maximum visual acuity after 7 days.
- ReLEx Smile is the latest generation of refractive surgery technology. The operation in Birinci Göz is performed without blades (only with a laser), which is indicated for people with a high degree of myopia. Compared to Femto LASIK, ReLEx Smile cuts out the disc (lenticule) through an incision smaller than 2 mm. This makes the procedure safer, and patients do not have burning sensations and dry eye syndrome.
Refractive surgery procedures at the Birinci Goz clinic use the VisuMax femtosecond laser. It is provided by the world’s leading manufacturer, Carl Zeiss Meditec and is FDA-approved. According to the Birinci Göz Clinic, vision correction is 100% successful.
What are the treatment options for cataract at Birinji Göz?
For the surgical treatment of cataracts, Birinci Göz uses innovative technologies that allow minimally invasive surgery. Birinci Göz uses the LENSX femtosecond laser, which ophthalmologists use to accurately cut and remove cataracts without damaging healthy tissue.
Birinci Goz offers various types of intraocular lenses required for cataract treatment:
- Bifocal (single focus) lenses;
- multifocal (bifocal);
- Zeiss trifocal lenses;
- toric AlQ IQ, IQ and Panoptix.
The choice of intraocular lenses depends on the characteristics of the cataract and is determined after a thorough diagnosis.
How is diabetic retinopathy treated at Birinci Göz Clinic?
Long-term diabetes is one of the risk factors that play a vital role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. To diagnose the disease in Birinci Goz, apply the following:
- FFA (fundus angiography);
- optical coherence tomography;
- OCT angiography.
Unlike conventional ocular angiography, OCT angiography does not involve intravenous administration of drugs. 3D visualization is available in the hospital, which provides 100% diagnosis.
Birinci Goz ophthalmologists treat diabetic retinopathy with an argon laser. This technology slows down the progression of vascular damage in the eye, allows you to stop the development of the disease at an early stage and prevent vision loss. Doctor Birinci Goz uses parallel intraocular injections to treat many stages of retinal damage caused by diabetes. In severe cases, cleansing of the intraocular membranes is carried out microsurgically (vitrectomy).
How is blepharoplasty performed at the Birinci Goz clinic?
Birinci Goz ophthalmologists use the Plexr laser radio distiller to eliminate flabby and sagging skin around the eyes. It allows doctors to quickly tighten the layers of sagging skin, making wrinkles less visible and the face look more youthful. The procedure is painless. Dr. Birinci Göz uses anesthetic creams applied before and after.
This technique also eliminates benign neoplasms, spots around the eyes, and skin hemangiomas.
The effectiveness of the Plexr device in the Birinci Goz clinic exceeds 93%.
