Dunyagoz Samsun Hospital (Dünyagöz Samsun) has been operating since August 2011 on Dr. Kamil Street, one of the city’s central transport arteries, and is part of the Turkish ophthalmology clinic network Dünyagöz Hastaneler Grubu. The clinic serves not only Samsun but the entire Black Sea region of Turkey, offering a complete cycle of diagnosis and treatment across all areas of ophthalmology. Across the Dünyagöz network, around 8,000 consultations and 1,000 operations are performed every day, with a total staff of approximately 350 doctors and 3,500 employees.
The clinic provides care for adults and children with various eye diseases and vision problems. Its main areas include:
In addition, Dünyagöz Samsun provides neuro-ophthalmology, ocular oncology, keratoconus treatment, dry eye syndrome treatment and care for retinopathy of prematurity, as well as rehabilitation for patients with low vision. Another area is oculoplastic surgery, including eyelid correction and orbital surgery.
The clinic is part of Turkey’s first network specializing exclusively in ophthalmology. Dünyagöz became the first ophthalmology hospital in Turkey to receive international JCI accreditation.
One of the Samsun branch’s advantages is the experience of its surgical team. Ophthalmologist Duriye İlbağ has been working in the profession for around 30 years and has performed more than 15,000 surgical procedures. She specializes in cataract surgery, refractive and oculoplastic procedures, and the treatment of corneal diseases and strabismus.
The clinic also has Associate Professor Selim Demir, who treats complex retinal and corneal diseases. He performs vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment and macular holes, treats diabetic retinopathy, keratoconus and other corneal diseases, and holds the international FICO qualification.
For the correction of myopia and astigmatism, the network’s clinics use SMILE technology Pro on the Zeiss VisuMax system. A femtosecond laser creates a thin disc of tissue, called a lenticule, inside the cornea. It is removed through an incision of approximately 2 mm, without creating a large corneal flap as in conventional LASIK. This allows the cornea to retain greater mechanical stability, reduces the risk of postoperative dry eye syndrome and shortens the recovery period. The method is particularly suitable for patients with thin corneas, athletes and people whose work involves an increased risk of eye injury.
For the treatment of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration, Dünyagöz uses the Valeda system — the first treatment method for this condition in Europe to receive approval in 2018. The course consists of 9 painless light-therapy sessions lasting approximately 5 minutes each over three weeks. The method helps slow vision deterioration and reduce the volume of drusen, deposits beneath the retina associated with disease progression. Previously, such results could not be achieved with non-drug treatment.
During cataract surgery, Dunyagoz uses the LENSAR femtosecond laser, which performs the incision and softens the cloudy lens with computer-assisted precision. This reduces the strain on the eye’s structures during surgery and makes the outcome more predictable, which is especially important when selecting multifocal lenses.

Experts Medical will take care of organizing treatment at Dunyagoz Samsun. The medical coordinators will select an ophthalmologist in the relevant field, forward the medical records, coordinate the examination or treatment plan and help with matters related to travel and staying in Turkey.
