About clinic
Cagin Eye Hospital is a large private specialized clinic. This is one of the most well-equipped ophthalmological centers in Turkey. The most requested services at the hospital include laser vision correction, cataract surgery, and keratoconus treatment. Also, foreign patients come to the clinic to eliminate strabismus, undergo an ophthalmological check-up, and receive treatment for glaucoma and retinal diseases.
Laser Vision Correction in Cagin
The ophthalmologists of the hospital correct the following visual impairments:
- myopia (myopia),
- hypermetropia (farsightedness);
- astigmatism (out-of-focus image);
- presbyopia (senile hyperopia).
People who do not tolerate vision correction with contact lenses and glasses, with severe astigmatism or a large difference in the degree of myopia or hyperopia between the eyes address to the clinic. As well as those who would like to radically improve their vision for professional duties (police, military, firefighters) and people who work with small parts and hazardous substances.
At Cagin, doctors use all currently available laser vision correction techniques, from PRK to iLASIK. All methods are corneal microsurgery using an excimer or femtosecond laser. An ophthalmic surgeon uses laser radiation to change the shape of the cornea. Due to this, vision is normalized.
After examining the patient with the help of high-tech equipment, the doctor individually selects the optimal method of correction. It could be:
- PRK, the basic technique that is used in a number of patients;
- LASIK, the most popular and demanded technique in the world;
- LASEK, the combination of PRK and LASIK;
- various advanced LASIK modifications due to the latest technologies such as the innovative iLASIK.
iLASIK is the latest technology with which the doctor performs laser correction, taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient's eye. To do this, during the procedure, the ophthalmologist scans the eye using a high-tech system that creates a 3D image of the eye and simulates laser radiation. This allows to achieve excellent results for each patient. The personalized iLASIK procedure is safe and reliable, which is why it is used in the United States to correct the vision of astronauts and military pilots.
Treatment of Keratoconus, Cataracts, and Other Surgeries in Cagin
Cagin Clinic has everything you need to treat keratoconus according to the latest international standards. Ophthalmologists, depending on the stage of the disease, perform the following procedures:
- crosslinking of the cornea (non-surgical strengthening of the cornea);
- implantation of corneal rings (correction of the shape of the cornea);
- corneal transplantation (lamellar keratoplasty using a femtosecond laser).
Cataract removal in Cagin is a high-tech procedure using laser and ultrasound, which is completed with the installation of an optical lens of the latest generation.
Cagin ophthalmic surgeons successfully cure glaucoma, retinal detachment, and diabetic retinopathy with surgical methods. They also perform complex combined operations, for example, in elderly patients with cataracts and glaucoma.

What laser vision correction techniques are most in demand at Cagin Hospital?
Cagin Eye Hospital is the largest private eye hospital in Turkey. Cagin Hospital offers modern laser correction techniques, in particular, the use of advanced technologies such as iLasik.
Among the most relevant and effective procedures are the following ones:
1. LASEK is a laser subepithelial keratomileusis. During this procedure, an alcohol solution is used to soften the top layer of the cornea, known as the epithelium. This layer is then carefully opened and moved to the side to allow access to the corneal surface. After that, the laser changes the shape of the corneal surface and then the epithelium gently returns to its place.
2. LASIK is a laser keratomileusis in situ. A method in which a laser cuts and folds back the top layer of the cornea, then reshapes the inner layers of the cornea and pushes the valve back into place.
3. PRK is a photorefractive keratectomy. This is one of the main types of laser vision correction. In this procedure, the superficial layer of the cornea of the eye is removed by evaporation (ablation) using an excimer laser, in order to achieve a refractive effect.
4. iLASIK is a modern and safe method of laser vision correction, which is an improved version of LASIK. It differs in that a femtosecond laser is used to create a corneal valve, rather than a microkeratome (blade), as in traditional LASIK. iLASIK allows to more accurately and individually select the parameters of laser exposure, taking into account the characteristics of each patient’s eye. iLasik technology has received NASA approval for use in the treatment of astronauts.
What are the benefits of laser vision correction at Cagin Hospital?
Laser vision correction has a number of advantages over other vision correction methods such as glasses or contact lenses. Among them:
• High efficiency. In 95% of cases, the correction restores the patient’s full vision;
• Short rehabilitation period. Normal vision returns immediately after surgery and discomfort and lacrimation disappear after a few hours;
• Painlessness. Thanks to anesthetic drops, the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during laser correction;
• Safety. Laser correction is carried out almost or completely contactless, which eliminates the risk of infection or eye injury;
• Durability. The results of the operation are preserved for life, with the exception of age-related changes.
What are the modern methods of treating pathologies and injuries of the cornea at Cagin Hospital?
Only the most effective and up-to-date methods of corneal treatment are used in Cagin Medical Center. They depend on the diagnosis, the stage of the disease, and the individual characteristics of the patient. The most modern ones include:
1. Crosslinking of the cornea. A modern and minimally invasive method for the treatment of keratoconus and other degenerative diseases of the cornea, in which the corneal tissue is strengthened and thickened under the influence of ultraviolet light and riboflavin (vitamin B2).
2. Installation of segmental ring implantations. This is a surgical operation, in which small plastic half-rings are implanted into the cornea, which change its shape and eliminate astigmatism. This method is also used to treat keratoconus.
3. Corneal transplantation. This is a complex surgical operation, in which a damaged or disfigured cornea is replaced with a donor one. The method is used to treat severe cases of keratoconus, total corneal opacities, injuries or burns of the cornea.
The hospital employs highly qualified ophthalmologists who have extensive experience in the treatment of various diseases of the cornea. They use modern equipment and materials and also monitor the quality and safety of the services provided.
With what eye diseases do people most often come for treatment at Cagin Hospital?
Most foreign patients come to Cagin Hospital for the treatment of the following eye diseases:
• cataract (eye lens opacity, which leads to deterioration of vision and loss of color perception). The operations to replace the lens with artificial implantation using an ultrasound or laser method are performed in the hospital;
• glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure, which causes damage to the optic nerve and narrowing of the field of vision). Medical, laser, and surgical treatment of glaucoma is used, as well as preventive examinations to identify risk groups;
• amblyopia (decrease in visual acuity of one or both eyes without visible damage to the fundus). This treatment is carried out with the help of special exercises, stimulation of the weak eye, and vision correction;
• keratoconus (corneal deformation in the form of a cone, which leads to astigmatism and reduced vision). Crosslinking of the cornea, the installation of segmental ring implants, and corneal transplantation in severe cases of keratoconus are carried out;
• diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retinal vessels due to high blood sugar levels). Treatment is carried out with the help of laser coagulation, drug injections, and surgical removal of the vitreous body;
• strabismus. Microsurgical operations that are aimed at shortening or weakening the muscles of the eye to restore the balance between the muscles are performed.
In addition to these diseases, various infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, and neoplastic eye diseases are also treated in Cagin Hospital.
What diagnostic procedures are included in the ophthalmic check-up at Cagin Hospital?
An ophthalmic check-up is a comprehensive examination of the visual apparatus, which allows to identify various diseases and visual impairments in the early stages and prescribe timely treatment.
Ophthalmic check-up includes:
• consultation with an ophthalmologist and general eye examination;
• determination of visual acuity and refraction;
• measurement of intraocular pressure;
• biomicroscopy of the eye with a slit lamp;
• ophthalmoscopy of the fundus;
• ultrasound diagnostics;
• perimetry (study of visual fields);
• pachymetry (measurement of corneal thickness);
• topography of the cornea.
During the examination, the patient receives a detailed report on the state of vision and recommendations for the treatment or prevention of possible problems.
An eye check-up is recommended once a year for people over 40 years of age. Also for those who have a hereditary predisposition to eye diseases and work at a computer or wear contact lenses.
