What eye diseases are treated by Netgoz

The ophthalmologists of the center perform:
- surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts;
- replacement of the lens of the eye;
- laser vision correction;
- treatment of retinal diseases;
- surgical removal of all types of strabismus;
Also among patients, preventive examination of the organs of vision is in demand.
Technical equipment of Netgoz Clinic
The clinic is equipped with advanced medical equipment. This allows doctors to conduct a comprehensive examination of the organs of vision and prescribe the optimal treatment. For diagnosis, doctors use:
- laser scanners;
- optical tomographs;
- ultrasonic microscopes;
- keratographs;
- fluorescein angiographs.
Medical equipment includes various modern laser systems and 3D visualization systems. They allow doctors to perform interventions through minimal incisions - no more than 0.5 mm.
All treatment rooms are equipped with a special ventilation system that maintains air hygiene at the highest level.
Treatment technologies in Netgoz
Ophthalmologists use innovative methods for the treatment of eye pathologies. Priority is given to minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Among the most popular are:
- Different options for LASIK technology. This is an innovative laser treatment technology for eye diseases. They allow for a painless vision correction procedure without incisions. The absence of sutures guarantees the patient a quick recovery. And most important, there are no more glasses or contact lenses.
- Photorefractive keratectomy. This is a type of laser technique. Unlike LASIK, it is more traumatic. To correct vision, the doctor removes the surface layer of the cornea. It is used in cases where the LASIK procedure is contraindicated for patients.
- FemtoLasik technology. It is used to eliminate myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and cataracts. This is the most advanced laser refractive surgery technique. It allows to eliminate visual defects with an accuracy of up to 100% in a few seconds.
- Faco method. It is used for the surgical treatment of cataracts in a minimally invasive way using ultrasound and intraocular lenses.
The choice of the optimal method of treatment depends on the preliminary diagnosis and the structure of the organs of vision.
Eyelid Surgery
Along with medical procedures, the clinic performs aesthetic correction of the eyelids and blepharoplasty. Doctors remove loose skin and fat from both eyelids or just one. This allows to get rid of the impending century, improve muscle tone, eliminate hernias, and Bish's bags.
Plastic surgeons at Netgoz Clinic perform eyelid correction to change the shape of the eyes.
Conditions in Netgoz for international patients
Foreign patients choose the clinic because of the affordable cost of treatment. With a high level of quality, the price of procedures is much lower than in hospitals in Europe and Israel.

Diagnosis: xanthelasma in both eyes
I came to Netgöz for the treatment of my serious problem with xanthelasma in both eyes, many thanks to my doctor Seval, surgery coordinator, and his team who took care of me throughout the process. I came after reading reviews about this hospital and knew it was a good place, but I didn’t expect such a professional approach. Thanks to the doctor and his team, each individually. I will recommend you to all my friends.

In January, I had smart lens surgery with Dr. Mehmet Merkan at Netgöz. Now I threw away the glasses. After the surgery, I realized that I had terrible vision for years. I am indebted to the very respected doctor Mehmet Merchan and the entire team of the clinic, from the receptionists at the door to everyone who participated in the operation. Thank you all for your positive attitude and excellent work.

Diagnosis: cataract
I would like to thank all the staff of the clinic, especially my doctor, Mr. Hayata TURKERU, who is an expert in his profession and cares a lot about his patients. I was treated for cataracts and went to another clinic, but they said to do the operation immediately. But when I came to Net Göz and underwent additional examinations, it turned out that the operation was not necessary.
I would like to thank you and would recommend this clinic to anyone with eye disease.

- formation of the INTRALASE corneal tunnel;
- corneal crosslinking in 1 eye;

What methods are used in Netgoz for vision correction?
Laser surgery is the safest and most painless method for human vision correction. It allows people with nearsightedness, presbyopia, farsightedness, and astigmatism to improve their vision and stop wearing glasses and contact lenses.
Netgoz Clinic offers several types of laser vision correction.
- LASIK. It is one of the most popular procedures in the world. It is ideal for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Procedure technology: the doctor removes a small area of corneal tissue and uses a laser on the inner layer. Then he returns the fabric to its place. The intervention lasts 10-15 minutes. The procedure is painless and well tolerated by patients, and healing is fast.
- FemtoLASIK. This is an improved version of the LASIK technique. Vision correction is carried out in a non-contact way using a femtosecond laser.
- LASEK. The technology is used for thin corneas as an alternative to the LASIK method. During the intervention, the doctor makes an application on the corneal ball to form a flap. The doctor places a special lens on the outer part of the eye for several days.
- SMILE. The procedure is carried out according to the LASIK method with the only difference: the doctor performs a microscopic incision up to 2 mm.
The decision on the choice of method is made by the doctor after a thorough diagnosis. The specialist takes into account the age of the patient, the condition of the retina, the thickness of the cornea, and the presence of concomitant diseases, such as diabetes. Success rates for laser vision correction reach 100%.
What cataract treatment options are offered at Netgoz?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens that predominantly develops in the elderly. The cause of the pathology is the accumulation of protein. A gradual decrease in visual acuity over time threatens blindness.
The doctors of Netgoz Clinic use modern minimally invasive methods for the treatment of cataracts. Cataract surgery involves removing the lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. The duration of procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Before the operation, the patient undergoes a thorough diagnosis. It includes many tests and laboratory studies. This allows the doctor to make the best decision about the choice of treatment method. The main methods of cataract surgery include:
- Mechanical phacofragmentation. Femtosecond laser technology is used. The doctor removes the lens through a small incision and in its place puts an artificial lens, an intraocular lens. The procedure is carried out without suturing.
- Ultrasonic phacoemulsification. During the procedure, ultrasonic rays are used that destroy the lens. The surgeon inserts the intraocular lens through a small puncture. The intervention also does not require suturing and lasts up to 5 minutes. Patients report normalization of vision within 3 hours.
- Laser phacoemulsification. This is the safest low-traumatic method. After the lens is destroyed by the laser, the doctor installs a flexible lens.
Netgoz ophthalmologists use a special gel and flexible intraocular lenses approved by the US Health Administration (FDA).
The clinic’s specialists performed 40,000 cataract procedures. The success rate is over 98%.
How is glaucoma treated at Netgoz Clinic?
Glaucoma occurs due to pathological changes in the organs of vision. The cause of the appearance is increased intraocular pressure. This is a serious disease in which the optic nerve is gradually destroyed, which can eventually lead to complete loss of vision.
For proper treatment, it is important to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis, which will determine the type and stage of glaucoma. It is not easy to detect the disease at an early stage. Netgoz Ophthalmological Center has modern diagnostic equipment that allows doctors to diagnose the disease with an accuracy of up to 100%. Depending on the stage of the disease and the state of health of the patient, the doctor selects the optimal method of treatment.
Main methods:
- Laser surgery. The most demanded method of glaucoma treatment, for which patients from other countries come to Netgoz. The intervention is performed under local anesthesia, complications are not recorded. In the center, 2 options for the operation are performed:
- laser trabeculoplasty. The doctor cauterizes the trabecular meshwork, which makes it possible for the outflow of intraocular fluid. In 80% of patients after the procedure, intraocular pressure can be reduced;
- laser iridotomy. During the intervention, the doctor burns a hole in the iris with a laser. This promotes the outflow of fluid from one chamber of the eye to another.
- Surgery for glaucoma. It is carried out in case of ineffectiveness of laser treatment. The purpose of the operation is to reduce pressure on the optic nerve and restore the outflow of intraocular fluid. To do this, it is possible to carry out in Netgoz:
- trabeculectomy is the removal of part of the trabecular network to create drainage;
- iridectomy is the removal of part of the iris to form pathways for the outflow of intraocular fluid.
- Implantation of an artificial valve. This is a microscopic draining device that helps to reduce pressure and remove the intraocular fluid. All drains have the necessary certification, which guarantees good survival.
Doctors also use drug therapy with special eye drops. This type of therapy is relevant in the earliest stages of the disease. It can also be prescribed as an auxiliary after a surgical procedure.
How is a cornea transplantation performed at Netgoz?
The ophthalmologists of the Turkish center have experience in keratoplasty – corneal transplantation. This is a microsurgical intervention in which the damaged cornea is replaced with a donor or artificial transplant.
The procedure is carried out with mechanical injuries of the organs of vision, as well as with diseases of the cornea, the medical treatment of which was not effective.
Netgoz doctors perform 2 types of keratoplasty:
- Penetrating keratoplasty. It is a complete replacement of the cornea. This is the most common method of corneal transplantation in the world.
- Lamellar keratoplasty. This is a partial replacement of the layers of the cornea. Modern technologies provide fixation of the transplanted corneal fragment with 1 suture. A seamless technique is also used.
Among the advantages of lamellar transplantation is a low risk of graft rejection and quick recovery of the patient. Engraftment takes place within a few weeks (with penetrating one – up to a year). Lamellar keratoplasty is performed in 85% of cases.
For an accurate understanding of whether a cornea transplant is needed, doctors conduct in-depth diagnostics using modern equipment. In some cases, crosslinking may be an alternative. This is a minimally invasive laser procedure that does not involve incisions.
